Obviously if I injury my leg I cannot do a leg press, for example). Of course, feel free to edit the exercise lists for each day, the number of exercises to select, and their probabilities, according to your specific needs: http://www.statisticool.com/weightedexercise.htm On this topic of random workouts, here is a random workout generator that I created a while back (after being frustrated at not being able to alter the probability of selection for an exercise.

The deck has four colors (and cards from 1-10) that I assign to 4 different movemenets. I combine 2 decks, throw out the 1 face value cards, and add some extra 10 value cards for 120 reps of each of the four different movements. No matter how well I shuffle, I always get a run of one color at some point, which messes with the mind, knowing there will be a run of something else coming up! I have been using things like KB swings, bodyweight (or light KB golblet) squats, box jumps, burpees, renegade rows, decline pushups, sledge swings, etc. Usually takes me ~30 min to go through the deck.
