I tried the new regimen kindly recommended by [personal profile] thalia (minus the deadlifts that I still don't know how to do).

I worked out M, W, and F, running the "Day 1" list again on Day 3.

I increased the weight I was pushing on all the exercises I'd been doing before, going down to two sets, sometimes of only 4 or 6 reps. I learned I can no longer bench press 40 lbs, but OTOH, I can do 6 pull-ups with only 65 lbs subtracted from my body weight. Yee-hah!

I ache like crazy, but I feel stronger already. (:
