Would doing all these exercises in one workout be unnecessary overkill or dangerous or have any negative effects on the body, or would be good/safe to do if your body is able take it?At 3 sets x 8 reps.
squats
deadlifts
bench
rows
pullups/chins
dips
military press

Typically, I wouldn't do all those in one workout. But it depends on a lot of factors, including sets, reps, intensity, how close to failure you are going, length of time between sessions, your recovery rate, how much weight you are using, how experienced you are, etc...

Be a bit more specific, but I'm guessing most are going to tell you that its too much. Usually full body workouts have an upper body push, an upper body pull, a compund leg exercise (deadlift or squat), and some optionally additional accessory work (arms, abs, lower back, calves).
 
I'm not doing this as my workout I just wanted to know if it was too much.What are good abdominal exercises with weights?
 
I don't think it's necessarily too much, just a little out of order.

A lot of people will tell you to start with the deadlift, however; I put it in the middle of my workout. This really ensures that your body is warm, and the joints are ready to pull.

If you were going to use that workout, I would structure as a leg-push-pull. So perform 1 leg, then 1 push, then 1 pull, then back to 1 leg...etc.

You're a bit light on the legs as well.
 
I Dont think this too much,Its alot like my workout
which i do mon, wed, fri. and i love it .
I do 3x5 mon 3x8 wed 3x12 fri and i change the order
of excercises around just to keep the body guessing
I dont do chin ups though
I include bicep curls just cause i love isolating my arms

Try it to see how you get on.
 
Thats not the order I'd do them in but if thats not an overload then I'll try it out for a week and see how I feel.

i would alternate deads and squats,do squat 1 day dead the next.
otherwise that looks:cool: only 18 sets as long as you eat some carbs/protein before there shouldnt be a problem.
 
^^^thats what I was thinking with a little ab and calf isolation.
