Routine Help

    Hey just wondering if someone could give me some help with a routine I've been given. It's a American football 12-week training programme with each day having slighty different excercises so no day is like any other. I took a screenshot of the first week here .

    Prior to this I've been doing a pretty basic 5x5 strength routine. To be honest I've just gotten pretty bored with it and was looking for something new. I tried day one today without the optional work and I honestly feel battered, . Where it says 5x6 I was doing 2 warm-up sets, one intermediate and then two of my best e.g. on the Incline bench I did 55 and 60 as warm-ups , a 70 and then two 75's. Does this sound okay? I physically can't go flat out for 5 sets so I presumed this would be alright.

    I didn't get the speed and agility bit from him but I realise that I should be doing cardio work. Recently I've started work in a new bar and find myself sweating alot. Now admittedly the place is a furnace but I still shouldn't be sweating as much as I am, tbh I was embarassed with the state I was in. Could anyone tell me what type of cardio would best suit my needs?

    Atm I'm about 18.5 stone with a BMI of about 20-25%. My diet is pretty good, drinking loads of water ( at least 7 pints ) getting about 5-6 meals a day, porrdige and whey shake for brekkie, getting 5 fruit or veg a day, not eating any/alot of bread, fish & lean meats.
    For the 5x5 my bench was 95kg, squat 100, deadlift 130, push press 70 and clean and press with db's of about 32, 34 on a good day.

    My main goals would be to lose fat but try to increase strength ( whose aren't :D ) Thanks a lot for any help, greatly appreciated
