Good afternoon all,

So I have a two month old, which means my 4 -5 day a week push pull legs routine is not working with that schedule. My goal is to only be in the gym one day (maybe one additional day for cardio depending on my calorie situation) during the work week so I can be at home more. I put together the below routine with the main goal of maintaining strength and welcoming any strength gains that come while I cut these last 10 - 15 pounds. What do you think? My main concern is just the effort it will take I'm think of making these two days my higher calorie days. If this doesn't work I'm thinking I will try a three day Upper Lower where I stack two days on Saturday/Sunday and one on Wednesday.

Thanks for any input.

Workout A (Wednesday)

Leg Press 120 sec 8 4 (not squatting at the moment)

    Your A workout looks light on legs.
    Since it sounds like time is the main issue, have you considered tri-supersets (legs, push, pull, rest, repeat)?
    Are you programming some type of progression? Maybe adding sets or reps where a weight increase may be too much.
