IMO you might not be giving your bodyparts enough time to rest by doing them three times per week, even though it's one set. Plus you have an active schedule with labor intensive work. I'd rather still try and do a body part once a week.......maybe twice since it's low intensity. But a mans daily schedule is critical to how his body recovers.

Keep watch bro. Make sure you don't overdue it.

I hear you bro. the manual labour is not guarenteed, but i know i am pretty busy apart from that and get pretty tired. As yoy can see the most sets that ge done for anyone body part are 10 (back/chest/back. 7 sets for bis/tris. And 5 for legs (not including deads, or SLDL if i added them).

I have been good at not missing sessions (so each body part gets worked each week), but with exams, and mayb working + just having uni/rugby etc, i dont fancy having 1 1/2 in gym 3 times a week +2 training sessions for rugby +game. I am thinking of alternating month about between my normal split (MONDAY=chest/back/traps..WEDNESDAY=legs....FRIDAY=shoulders/arms) and this full body workout. Just to keep muscles guessing etc?

not sure what youre asking, but if you wanna shorten your program there's several exercises you can skip, flies for example, probably couple of shoulder exercises since it gets worked pretty much in the incline presses and some more.
