Default "Old" New Guy's Routine

I've been working out off and on for about 5 years. Mainly at home with free weights in the basement. I would stick with it for 6 to 8 weeks than slack off for no good reason. Finally joined the local gym in town and have only missed a couple of workouts in 4 months. I try to use the Max-OT program and adjusted it for my space and equipment limitations. I'm 51, 5'11", and 212lbs. I work 11 PM to 7 AM and hit the gym on my way home. I have an EAS protien shake and a teaspoon of BodyForce Creatine with juice, or in the shake before I leave work. Try to eat a good meal after workout then crash for about 4 hours. I eat dinner with the family then try to get a few more hours of sleep before work. Here is a sample of my routine:

Day 1 Chest
