Certainly.

2)only go to failure on ME exersizes?

That's recommended, yes.

3)i workout at home and dont have a reverse hyper machine, will this affect me?

No. Any light movement that works the same muscles will suffice.

I don't see anything wrong with the workout you set up.

Looks real good. My first try at Westside I had good success and I didn't do reverse hypers. I mainly used pull thrus.

This time however I learned that by draping a 2"x6" over the pins of my power rack, I can do reverse hypers on it. I am in the process of building it where I can add weight to them.

Good luck with it!

1.yes!
2.yes
3.Not much, just like powerman said you can just do some thing else like light pull thrus or go lattys route and make your own.

Routine looks great
