Battle Plan for the Months Ahead

I went to Gold's 2 more times, gradually increasing the weights each session.  I'm not completely back up to strength and conditioning I was at before leaving for Japan, however, it's been about 2 weeks and I think it's now time to resume my training.  Because of this I did not post my last two workouts because they are just for me to build up my strength and get used to the gym still (everything in kilograms still get me, at least with dumbbells).

I wanted to take the time now to map out my projected workout regimen for the weeks to follow.

The Regimen:

To start, it will be a 3 day a week regimen alternating between upper and lower body workouts each session.  This will allow my body to get plenty of rest in between workouts given the intensity I will be working at.  Hopefully each workout should span a maximum of 60 minutes.

Upper A
     T-bar rows
     DB military press
     Weighted dips
     narrow grip weighted pull-ups
     cable tricep pushdowns
     DB curls

Upper B
     Deadlifts
     Push press
     BB bench press
     Wide grip weighted pull-ups
     Skull Crushers
     BB curls

Upper C
     Cable rows/T-bar (depending on what I want to do)
     DB incline press
     Cable upright rows
     Cable pull downs
     Close grip smith tricep press
     DB curls

Lower A
     Squats
     Leg press calves
     Ab work

Lower B
     Squats
     Standing calves
     Ab work

Notes:
This time, I will throw the biceps work into the upperbody day.  I actually forgot that biceps was part of the leg day until I decided to check on my previous regimen.  Leg day doesn't change all that much because squats to me are the best exercise for legs, although I was considering throwing in the leg press, but we'll see how that goes.  As far as leg day goes, the change mostly occurs with the calves work.
