Upper body stuff M-W-F, lower body on T-Th. If I work out on the weekend it's a mixture of some basic stuff for both but more concentrated on cardio. Oh, cardio is done everyday. With my slow metabolism I need it.

Just out of curiosity crash cart, how long have you been doing that routine? Because, with the exercises you listed, you are really only focusing on your arms, with a bit of back/chest involvement.

How to lift my end of the stretcher
I go to the gym twice a week. 10-15 minutes on the recumbent bike, continue heart rate level by moving from one resistance piece to the next and then back again. For example, leg press one set, lateral pulldown one set, then back to leg press and lateral pulldown again. Then I move on to two more machines, until I finish the entire workout. Then I do 10-15 minutes on the bike again. It is my habit to do the first set at a higher weight than the second. Essentially I have an hour of aerobic training this way. It seems to work for me to provide the strength I need and keep systems at "Go."

I'm assuming you don't go through the full deck of cards then? If I did my math right the whole deck should be 460 pushups total. That's insane if you do the full deck.

My workout plan is nothing so elaborate. Every other day I do hammercurls: 3 sets of 25-30 reps with a 45 lb dumbbell. Follow this up with 40 pullups and 200 pushups in groups of 50.
On the "off days" in between I do 100 pushups in two groups of 50 and 150 situps in two groups of 75. |

I circuit train for an hour and a half. I always add weight after I reach 3 sets of 20 on each and every workout. So here it is.
Start with inclined squat machine. Bench press Preacher curls Squats Inclined situps at 45 degrees Dips Lumbar rows Lat rows Butterflies Tricep curls Next quarter I'll change up the workouts.
