Exercise Routine

I have been doing a 3 day a week exercise routine. The routine mostly focuses on core and endurance strength. I have listed the routine in detail below. Monday is a circuit day. Wednesday focuses mostly on pulling muscle groups. Friday focuses mostly on pushing muscle groups. I am currently on my 4th and final week of this routine. Each week my technique and endurance have improved. Generally, each week I was able to either lift more weight or fail at a higher rep count. After the end of this week, I will take a rest week and have a new routine. I am not certain what the new routine will be composed of, but I am thinking it will have more of a hypertrophy focus. I will post it as soon as I have it figured out.
