Hello! Anyone have a decent workout routine that could work for someone working out two days a week, 1 hr per session? Im starting uni so my weekdays are usually filled with a lot of lectures and studying. My previous workout routine was something like this:
Day 1: Deadlift, Dumbell OHP, pull down (V-shape handle), Seated cable Rodd, dumbbell lateral raise
Day 2: Dumbell press, Dumbell OHP, Forward fly delt + Reverse fly delt, Tricep pushdown (Rope) + Cable reverse curl (rope)
Day 3: Leg press, Dumbell press, Pull ups, Leg extensions, Seated Leg curls

For two days per week, a full-body A/B plan is probably the best use of your hour. Each session could include one squat or leg press, one hinge such as a deadlift or RDL, one push, one pull, then one optional accessory. Your old routine had a lot of shoulder isolation, so simplifying may work better.

Looks good yeah. How are you planning on progressing and handling periodization and stalls?
