  2. 88s - the best way is to base your program on compound exercises, not isolating muscle groups completely.

    Day 1 - Barbell squats, leg extention, leg press, calf press, hip abductors for inside and outside...aim for absolute maximum weight for 3 sets of 10 reps on each exercise.

    Day 2 - push day - bench press, shoulder press, dips, seated dips..add extra bicept curls with dumbells or an isolation machine. Same sets as day 1

    Day 3 - 45-60 minutes interval training on a cross trainer

    Day 4 rest day

    Day 5 - pull day - deadlifts, bent over row, lat pull down, seated row.

    Day 6 would be interval training again but this would be a 5th day working out so you could skip it and do cardio after weights as long as the weights are done in the sequence I suggest it'll be ok.

    Also, you can add abs and core exercises to these on any day, eg leg raises, crunches, dorsal raises.
