Neither look good, but doing 20 reps of anything is pretty useless. You have 12 sets for the upper body, 2 sets for core, and only 6 sets for lower body. Where are your squats? In your sig line is says the biggest No-No for 2008 was not training your legs…don’t repeat that mistake in 2009.

Ditto to previous three posts. The second choice looks like something a Curves “trainer” would come up with.
