    Okay I'd ditch the lateral raises, bicep curls and cable bicep curls.

    If you're a novice, which we'll define as being able to make gains each session (e.g. 70Kg this week, 72.5Kg next session, 75Kg the next) you should/could squat in both sessions.

    I'd deadlift once a week up to a heavy set of 5, and power clean up to a heavy tripple on the other weighted session.

    As far as warm up goes, 500m-1000m on the Concept 2 should get you warmed up. A good mobility warm up too would be a better use of your time than stretching before weights.
