I am just starting up again, from a long time off, I have 6 months of training under my belt, this is a full body workout 3 times a week:

Squats 2x6-12
Romanian Dead lift 2x6-12
Bench Press 2x6-12
Military Press 2x6-12
Chinups 2x6-12
Dumbbell row 2x6-12
Weighted Crunches 2x6-12
Dumbbell incline curl 1x6-12
Dumbbell Kickback 1x6-12

I originally didnt plan on including the direct arm work but I figured if I am going to be starting HST(well doing max-stim for arms actually) I will need them in good condition and I have had 2 workouts already and my arms dont feel worked out at all.
I know soreness isnt an indication of a good workout but seeing as though I have not worked out in so long if any muscle is going to get even a semi decent workout, it is going to be sore, and I figure if it isnt sore, the workout missed it.

Edit: Sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum.

2 things: although the work out looks fine, kick backs are a waste of time, unless you already have 17 inchers that need bells and whistles

or trimmings.

Triceps need pushdowns/CG bench press or Skull crushers but most important dips!

Dips for chest alternated with slight inclined Bench
Deads alternated with squats (protect your back)
Chins alternated with the rows (any type)

now what do you mean by 2 x 6 - 12? If it is reps start planning again, HST goes 15/10/5/negs in two week periods!
 
This is just my stock standard routine I plan on doing for about 3 months to get my old size and strength back until I start HST, I was considering Dips but I think I have enough compounds in there, atm the rows target my back well while the chinups have been great for lats, never doing pulldowns again

I will swap kickbacks with skullcrushers.

I read up on HST, I plan on doing [15/10/5/really light work]
the 6-12 are my rep ranges at the moment, I'm not sure wich is the best rep range for muscle memory so I decided I would cover all my bases.

The thing wich worries me is finding my RMs, should I make my current workout an alternating a/b workout, so its easier for when I do test my RMs because I plan on doing an a/b workout when I start HST
