SDB's "Time Saver" Full Body workout

[sdb]

Here's the deal.. I'm only able to get to the gym 2 days a week with my new school schedule. Fall's going to kick my ass because I'll have night classes too. :(


Here's my workout throughout the next few months. It's a full body for 2 days per week. I'll add any iso work at home as necessary for any lagging muscles. This plan is more for maintenance. As always, I'll swap between BB and DB, flat and incline, etc.


Superset 1: (2 x 8-10)
Bench Press / Tri Dips

Superset 2: (2 x 8-10)
Lat Pull Dn / Chin up

Superset 3: (2 x 8-10)
Overhead Press / Upright Rows

Squat or Box Stepups (2 x whatever I'm able to do. bad knee, remember?)

Superset 4: (2 x 8-10)
Leg Ext.
Leg Curl

Superset 5:
Planks
Crunch Variation


Any comments are welcome.

Looks solid to me. I'm actually surprised you can do the leg ext. as I would figure they put a lot of strain on your knee.

extension and curls are nothing. i can use 40#'s on those. it's just compression that gets me.

i tried squatting with 30# lastnight. it's a no-go still. :( so i'll wait a couple more months and try it again. For now, I'll continue to replace squats with box step ups with 10's.

Well that's good then. At least you can do some work on the legs to maintain. Sucks about the squats though. I see some extreme leg sessions in your future once you are healthy.

ahaha!! i'll take it easy for a while afterward. don't want to have another injury. i'm sure it'll tear next time.
