    Too much?

    This is my workout regimen, which was given to me here, but I added a few more exercises because I felt some parts were not being targeted. I was going to test it out today, but I want some feedback first.

    Mon-upper
    Tues- lower
    Wed-upper
    Thurs- lower
    Fri- upper
    Sat- off
    Sun- off

    Pushups: 3x10-15
    Pull-ups 3x10-15
    DB Pullover: 3x10-15
    BB Bent-over rows 3x10-15
    BB Bicep Curls -or- Concentration Curls 3x10-15 (which is better?)
    Overhead Press 3x10-15
    Tricep extensions 2x10-15
    Shrugs 3x10-15

    Lower
    Step-ups 4x10-15
    Stiff-legged deadlifts 4x10-15
    DB lunges 3x10-15
    Good mornings 3x10-15

    Is my upper body workout too much? I don't want to overdo it. Any feedback is appreciated.

    Btw, I'm a newb at weight training and I work out a home, so I don't have access to a good gym, sadly.

    Bent-over Row
    Push-ups
    concentration curls

    I forgot to put in curls on the first one, I think you should definitly do BB curl though, they are better and you work both hands together so it saves time.
