Day 2 - Back
Hammer Strength pulldown** 6-8
Hammer Strength row** 6-8
Supinated barbell row* 6-8
Cable pulldown* 6-8

Incline barbell press** 6-8
Hammer Strength flat press* 6-8
Incline dumbbell flye* 6-8

I used it for 3 months a little over a year ago.  It's a good routine for somebody who's easily overtrained or struggles with recovery, IMO.  Plus it teaches you to push heavier weights because you're not blowing your wad with 3-4 sets of every exercise, one is all you get.

I did it 4-5 years ago. I guess it's a good basic routine if you don't want to complicate things with periodization and shit.
