I can't edit, but one thing I forgot to say is that there are bodybuilding routines and then there are powerlifting routines.  Many times that is where confusion is when comparing routines.  My routine is more of a powerlifting style with very little bodybuilding technique.

And then there is Marisa Tomei's Core and Curves.  The GF tried this and I noticed it would be great as a light routine for golf core strength and balance.  It is mostly for chicks, but as a taller man, the balance exercises are tougher than for women.  I won't do the skipping parts though.

I am starting day 1 again today. Did 63 days 2 yrs ago and lost 14 lbs. I have since gained it back. P90x, my old nemesis..we meet again! I can only imagine what yogax and stretchx will do for my game.

Congrats on all the success, you smell terrific!

I don't really have a set routine, my mood usually dictates what I work that night, and whether I do it in my gym or go outside.

In the gym, I'll focus on compound movements with little to no isolation lifts.  The exceptions to the no isolation exercises are seated calf raises, and chest flys.  My calves are really lacking, and I do the flys for no other reason than I just like doing flys.  :)

My basement gym is equipped with about everything I could ever want or need.  I've built most of my equipment, and keep adding to the list of things to build.

I keep most all of my "outdoor gym equipment" in a shed and in a corner of my shop.  Various size tires (anything from a 14" car tire, a 33/10.50-15 off my truck, a few different sized skidsteer tires, semi truck tires, a grader and a loader tire), sledgehammers, sandbags, battle ropes (made from 1-3/4" fire hose), pull up bar, farmers bars, sleds, kegs, etc.  Plus a squat rack that I can quickly assemble and disassemble to keep out of the way, plus about 600# of weights (have about 1250# worth in the basement gym).  I'm drawing up plans right now to build a yoke hopefully next weekend.

Being able to mix things up helps to keep our workouts from getting stale and boring.

Setting up a routine is definitely beneficial though. And that routine should also change periodically.

At the least you do regular exercise, that's definitely the most important.

Also, jealous you have your own freakin squat rack! That's awesome!

Lol, I have 3 actually!  2 in the basement, and 1 in the shop.

I say I don't have a set routine, but in reality I work everything during the week.  But I don't necessarily do the same exercises .  With only a couple exceptions, I train the movement, not the muscle.
