I have only been working out a couple of months so not sure if this is ok or not, any advice aprciated guys.

As your weights get heavier doing FullBody 3x per week with that amount of exercises will become increasingly difficult.

I'm doing fullbody 3x per week as part of my current training cycle, but I vary intensity, and I don't Squat and Deadlift on the same day.

For example, I bench 3x per week at the moment.

Mondays & Fridays I do 2x10 @ 60% 1RM
Wednesdays I do 3x3 @ 90% 1RM

Have a look in my log if you are interested.
