An upper body circuit would work best for you. Chest press, pullovers, rows or pulldowns, biceps curls, triceps dips.
And I agree with Big Dog that the weights should be first if at all possible.

OK, but I am a bit wary of doing upper body workouts 2 days in a row.. In BFL style I do
mon upper
wed lower, spinning = lower
fri upper
sat spinning = lower, depletion work out = ?
mon lower
wed upper, spinning = lower
fri lower
sat spinning = lower, depletion workout = ?
I can do lower body wo 2 days in a row with no ill effects, though I have to be careful with my foot (skipping rope & lugging a loaded bike didn't heal it). Worse is that I have RSI in neck & shoulders since 1994, so I have to be really careful with exercises.. a rowing session in BFL style f*cked it up even more as you Americans tend to say. Or rather, the right shoulder hurts almost all the time because of my Internet habits. So, 2 days in a row seemed like asking for trouble? That's why I thought about the abs & back exercises as an alternative... like back extensions (normal and sideways) and the ab machine/incline bench for upper& lower/oblique ab exercises.
Anyone with comments?
