The body for life workouts have too much volume and will get you over trained in no time, especially when you are on a diet.. It surely will help you burn a lot of calories. It is mostly a depletion workout.

I would cut back on the sets for arms to 2-3 sets of 10-12. And if you are doing all the exercises for legs cut back the upper body exercises to one each for chest, shoulder and back, and vice-versa. And most important, you don’t have to go to failure on all sets. Stay 1-2 reps away from failure.

And if you are losing 1-2 lbs per week you are doing great. If not, we will add more cardio or eat less or something. So you are doing fine so far.

I meant if you are doing all the exercises for upper body, just do one for leg exercise. If you are doing just one exercise for shoulder, chest and back, do all exercises for quads and hams.  The next day do all 4 exercise for upper body and one each for quads and hamstrings.

Triceps
1. Close Grip Push Down     —3 sets of 10 -12 reps with different weights

Biceps
1. Seated Dumbbell curl     —3 sets of 10 -12 reps with different weights

Quads
1. Leg press(incline machine)              —now body weight only 4 set of 12 reps
2. Leg extension—            —-40 x 12

Hamstrings
1. Dumbbell Lunges—-          ——5 x 12; 8 x 10; 10 x 8; 12 x 6; 8 x 12(1 mnt rest in b/w)
2. Lying lug curls—          —30 x 12

Nope.

It is meant as a warm up. Looking at your pyramid style training, you get good warm up with your weights. If you feel cold, just do 3-5 min on the elliptical or bike.
