    2 day a week training question

    Because of work and the fact that I have to cycle to work I am only able to fit in 2 lifting sessions a week. So what I have been doing is
    Mondays:
    Bench
    Shoulder Press
    Deads
    GHR

    Fridays
    Squat
    Lunges
    Pullup
    DB Row

    I've been doing all of them 5x3

    I must also mention that I am on a calorie deficit! Is this realistic program to stick to until I reach my goal weight? I have been making strength progress on all lifts bar Bench and Shoulder press (don't know why I've stalled).

    Cheers
    I love lifting so much that i wanna take it behind the school building and get it pregnant!

    I would actually do fullbody workouts if you are only doing twice a week. Also, I wouldn't do 5x3 on all exercises. I would do something like

    Day 1
    1) Squat - 5x3-5
    2a) OH press - 3x6-8
    2b) 1-arm DB row - 3x6-8
    3a) GHR - 3x10-12
    3b) Ab roll outs - 3x10-12

    Day 2
    1) Bench - 5x3-5
    2a) RDL - 3x6-8
    2b) Chin up - 3x6-8
    3a) Lunge - 3x10-12
    3b) Supine rows - 3x10-12

    Quick and dirty. Get in and get out!
