    I know you have chosen a program, however for future a program should cover these movements over week

    Thigh dominant movement (squat or legpress)
    Hip dominant movement (deadlift or similar)

    Horizontal push
    Horizontal pull

    Vertical push
    Vertical pull

    Arm work

    Or Starting Strength.

    Both are designed for beginners and are simple and effective at getting you reasonably strong w/in a very short (4-6 month) period of time IF you don't mess w/them by adding unnecessary *kitten* (like isolation lifts, as beginners always seem to want to do) and follow the programs as designed.

    God...I remember when I started back to the gym with Starting Strength...first real program I ever ran outside of coached strength and conditioning for football and track.

    It was so hard at first not to break with the program and start doing a bunch of bro curls and leg extensions, etc. Running the program really works though.
