The bar bell squats are scary. I used the empty bar and it was a wobbly affair, plus the bar wants to lie on the knobby end of my spine, and grabbing hold of something so far back with my hands strains my shoulders. It strains them both equally, so at least it's not the bad shoulder acting up, but, ouch. I also did not go down far enough because of the wobbly. And the bar wasn't even heavy.
You said you are doing this with dumbbells? How?
Seated rows were fine (I used 20 kg for starters), thogh I had to improvise some things that I would not want my workplace saftety guy to know of.
Step-ups: Used 2*3 kg just to remind myself that something was there. Couldn't quite convince the trailing leg on the step-ups that it ought to be trailing.
Used the Smith machine for the push-ups, hight 95 cm. Keeping my elbows close to my ribs does strange things to my wrists, so I let them go outwards a little more.
Prone jackknifes on the Swiss ball are a very fun exercise.
I did not have a clock in sight and needed to do a lot of arranging stuff, so the rest periods were all over the place.
I guess I'll do some extra workouts to get into the forms. All in all it was quite short and I felt that I was not doing enough. I added some back hyperextensions because my lower back likes them a lot. However, when I was doing some handstands and intervall running afterwards I noticed that I had done serious work.

All in all, not too bad a start.
