Do anyone do Plyometrics with the weight training? Heard it boosts the muscle strength by 25% allowing you to lift heavier weights than before?
armstrong , all of the exercises you posted are compound exercises --i also have a similar routine.. except the militery shoulder press, i do arnorld shoulder press , except the conventional deadlift i do romanian version ..aswell as pullups
Indeed...compound is the only way forward, unless of course your using isolation or the machines for injury rehabilitation !
Arnold shoulder press...hmmn ! I've always thought that they are more suited to those coming back from a shoulder injury because they too when compared with a standard overhead press tend to involve less muscles. But I suppose my dislike could also be because I'm more of a barbell person.
As for the Romanian Deadlfit...I prefer the standard ones...work my lower back more but then again without proper form the rounding could be hazardous !
Indeed compound exercises are better in weight training as it triggers HGH and testosterone which are fat bursting harmones and improves the metabolic rate thus slowing down the aging process. I do switch between free barbells, smith machine and other machines for the same musclegroup every once in a month.

P.S Ever tried Power Cleans..? My friend, a tennis buff, swears by them !
Smoking messed me up, I get out of breath over running Up few stairs, I joint a Jim few months ago but the coach was freaking ruthless so I gave up. I wasn't like that before smoking.
Take my advice bin the machines and solely focus on compound exercises whether its with a barbell, a weighted vest or dumbbells because the machines stabilize the weight for you and impedes building truly functional strength.
