My old routine had become a little stale, so I figured that there was no better time to shake things up than the start of a new year.
Day One
Chest
Flat-bench press, BB
Alternating with push-ups
Flat-bench flies, DB
Tris
Tricep Pulldowns
Tri Dips
Skull crushers
Abs: HS Abs Machine
Day Two
Back
Lower back – Stiff-legged BB deadlifts
Traps - Upright cable rows
Lats – Pull-ups
Bis
Preacher curls
Incline DB curls
Forearms
Forearm reverse curls
Abs: Captain’s Chair
Day Three
Shoulders
Shoulder DB press
Front BB raises
Lateral DB raises
Legs
Quads - Leg press
Hams – Seated leg curls
Calfs – Standing calf raise
Abs: Crunches
For cardio, I have put the bike to rest and have started using a new machine, part stepper, part tredmilll? Don't know the name of the contraption 
So far so good.
