  1. Since I run on M/W/F, when would it be best to do which exercises
    (after I run...the next day)? I'm planning on splitting the workout
    into 2 day cycles (I'd do all the exercises every 2 days) over 6 days
    from Monday to Saturday with a rest on Sunday.

    Once again, here is a list of the exercises I've chosen:
    Crunch
    (Barbell)
    Straight leg deadlift
    Curl
    Squat
    Standing calf raise
    Reverse standing calf raise
    Incline shoulder raise
    Bench press
    Bent-over row
    Behind neck press
    Shrug
    (Dumbbell)
    Wrist curl
    Reverse wrist curl

    I was originally thinking it would be best to do the lower body
    exercises after I ran (so the muscles had time to recuperate before I
    ran again) and the upper body ones on the off days. However, since
    there are so many upper body exercises, I was thinking of including
    some of them in my regiment during the running days. I like benching
    after I run anyway. I think I'll be sticking with low weight and high
    reps as I'm not in a hurry to get strong and endurance is also
    important to me. Strength will come with time and there's no need to
    rush these things.

    Q. What will Heaven be like?

    A. We know from our Bible that you can murder as many people as you wish and still enjoy decent accommodation in Heaven -- just as long as you pause ever-so-briefly before dying to repent and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. So, Heaven will clearly be overrun with appalling people whose only virtue is a good sense of timing. - Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian

    Theoretically next day.

    Push/pull split comes to mind.

    Watch yourself. Quite a load, considering that you run regularly.

    Straight leg deadlift

    Stiff leg deadlift (legs locked, but not straight) are a bit safer. Be
    careful if you chose to do them with straight legs.

    Curl
    Squat

    Reverse standing calf raise

    I'd replace them with military presses or incline bench presses,
    depending on your goals.

    Bench press
    Bent-over row
    Behind neck press

    Work on your flexibility with a broomstick when doing these. Or do dumbbell
    military presses.

    If you chose to do it this way, put there something easy. Arms and
    wrist work and/or abs. Do not put anything "important", as you will be
    prone to skip it. Legs are quite demanding.

    I believe that supersets and short rest intervals work better than high
    reps. But if you want to do hundreds of pushups then do high reps. Of
    pushups, preferably 😉.

    Good luck.
