I've been doing short but exhausting workouts. Workout 1 is negative chinups, underhand pulldowns, barbell split squats, and pushups. Workout 2 is unevenly weighted reverse lunges (hold dumbell on one shoulder), dumbell rows, push presses, reverse crunches, and back extensions.

I'm not quite up to doing an unassisted chinup or an on-the-floor pushup (the bar on the Smith machine is a good way to adjust pushup height), but I'm getting closer.

Ooh. That sounds like an awesome routine (except for the crunches; I have a deep aversion to any kind of crunch or sit-up, but that's an issue between me and my lower back).
