Default Newb questions inside...

So here I am.. been lowcarbing since Nov and losing a ton of weight. Started doing cardio and lifting since the middle of Nov. All high reps low weight.. I've heard it mentioned a few times that I might have moved myself to a mindset where the BFL program for lifting may be appropriate... I don't know how or if Ill be fitting in the 6 meals a day.

After reading through the book... a quick read when you skip over the motivation chapters I figured I'd give the workout routine a try (whats 12 weeks right? )

So Ok.. here we go.. just up and start! er.. no..

I was wondering if I could pick the brain of some of you BFL'ers to help me start this training method off correctly.. My current workout routine has been the following

Cardio tues-thurs-sat-sunday 30 minutes about 85 strides per on Lifefitness 9500 eliptcal. No variation no levels.. just go for 30 minutes. I

Mon-wed-fri I do this as a routine:
I
Incline press 25x30x3
leg press 150x30x4
Shoulderpress Front 60x30x3
shoulderpress Rear 60x30x3
leg curl 75x30x3
Alt shoulderpress 50x30x4
leg extention 105x30x4
MTS Highrow 55x30x4
Hack Squat Sled+90x30x4
mts row 60x30x4
Lower back machine 210x30x4
Seated Rows 120x30x5
Ab Machine 150x30x4
Chest press 90x30x6
Hammer curls 30x25x4
abductor (innie) 90x40x4
abductor (outtie) 90x40x4
tri-cep machine 100x30x4

The whole series takes me about 1.5 hours.

I'd appreciate any tips for breaking this mess up into something a little more suitable to the bfl exercise programs. or should I scrap the whole thing and start with the dumb bell exercises suggested in the book..

Halp!!
