Now I do full-body workouts, and all the workouts are very similar to each other.

Monday, Wednesday (Friday, optional): run 5 miles at noon, jiu jitsu at night (I have a black belt, so my attendance is a bit less structured than in the past).

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (Sunday optional): gym time--all exercises: 2 sets, 6-10 reps, close to mechanical failure. Approx 3 minutes of rest between sets.

Lower body: Hack Squat or Smith Machine squat, Romanian deadlifts (with dumbbells or at the Smith Machine), Glute machine, calf raises. Occasionally: donkey kick machine, abductor machine, leg curl.

Upper body: convergent chest press (or incline press or weighed dips), cable fly, chest supported rows of some kind, cable pulls for lats, machine shoulder press, lateral raises with db, triceps push-downs, some type of biceps curls.
