When I started this round of LC, I did the following, 3 times per week:

Chest: Flat Bench Press
Back: Seated Pulley Row
Lower Back: Hyperextension on bench
Shoulders: Seated Dumbbell Press
Quadriceps: Leg Press or Squat
Hamstrings: Leg Curl
Calves: Standing Calf Raise
Biceps: Standing Alternating Dumbbell Curl or Standing Barbell Curl
Triceps: Pulley Push Down
Abs: Crunch and Reverse Crunch

This looks like a lot, but I only did 1 short warmup set plus 1 "work" set of each. The whole workout took about 25 minutes. Now I do a more advanced workout which splits the body across the 3 days, so each part gets trained more intensely.

You can go here for explanations of the exercises. Another good site to check out is www.stumptuous.com/weights.html. The woman who writes that really knows her onions, as they say over here.

If you are on extremely low carbs (<25/day), you may find that you need to increase them by 5 or even 10 on weights days, in order to get the most from your workout. YMMV, experiment and see what works for you.
