Monday - HIIT in the morning followed by 45 min stretching session
Tuesday - Chest, Quads, Biceps, Traps, Calves
Wendsday- Ab routine
Thursday - Back, Hams, Lats, Shoulders, Triceps
Friday - Either HIIT/heavy bag work during the day and abs in the night
Sat or Sun if I feel in the mood I do a body weight strength training workout.
There is no need for you to do 15 exercises per workout if you can only workout 2x a week at the gym.
Doing compound lifts are most beneficial for everyone. If you want to get stronger, faster, leaner, more bulky, compound lifts are the way to go.
If I were you, I'd do something like this. Feel free to switch it up but here's a list of exercises so that you get the idea...
Day 1: bench press, squats, barbell rows, and then throw in some additional exercises like dips or incline bench press or dumbell presses...lunges or legpress...lat pulldowns or cable rows.
On day 1 you've just worked out quads, chest, back, lower back, abs, biceps and triceps with only a handful of exercises
Day 2: standing military press, deadlifts, pull ups, and then throw in an additional hamstring exercise like hamstring curls, and do additional shoulderexercises.
These exercises will work out your shoulders, upper back, lower back, hamstrings, biceps, abs.
You can still get great results by going to the gym only twice a week. Just focus more on compound lifts rather than isolation exercises which are timeconsuming and likely wont get you the results you desire. Also remember that going to the gym only twice a week is better than not going at all.
