2 Week Workout Program

My buddy David asked for some ideas for a new workout routine to shake things up a little bit in his workouts. Here's a 2 week schedule that should be very helpful to him.
 You could follow it, pick a day here and there to do as a workout, use things from it to add to your own workouts, or ignore it altogether...but hopefully it'll at least get you thinking...

If you look at this and would like to do it but are unsure of what some of these things are, get with me and I'll be glad to help! Also, if you can't necessarily do the weights involved... just put whatever you can on the bar and go from the there. Also, if you can't do an exercise due to an injury or something, let me know and we can find you a suitable alternative.

These workouts are designed for men or women. Don't afraid to add to or take away from this...it's just an idea. Have fun with it!
