Well, I just want to say I digested the advice everyone gave me and put my conclusions to work yesterday. I dropped a couple of superfluous exercises, added a cool-down at the end, and interspersed my three sets of (non-weighted) back extensions throughout the workout to give other muscle groups more time to recover before they were worked again.
As a result, I got the routine off to a fast start and kept my pace and intensity high throughout. I pushed the limits hard on every exercise.
When I was done, I stopped on the way home to pick up some groceries. I was so hammered that I zoned out in front of the olive oil for five minutes. Always the sign of a good workout! :-)
