lost my legs again

So I have a knee injury that is going ot keep me from doing legs for a while. I was just getting my strength and motivation back after an ankle (on the same leg) and than a tendon injury. So far not a good year for me.

I'm going to change my routine to all upper body for a while. Since I'm not going to be able to do any cardio and will be very sedintary for a while, I am going to cut calories and carbs way down. Also, since I'm not going to eat enough to grow, I'm thiking of changing form a heavy weight, low rep scheme, to lighter weight, high rep scheme.

I was doing morning cardio 3x per week, on non lifting days. I don't want to just not do nothing because of the injury so I want to develop some kind of light/aux morning routine, 30-45 mins. long, where I can work everything except legs. I wan to do things like pull ups, chins, dips ,abs, fore arms and whatever else I can't think of. I am still going to be lifting in the PM so how should I do this so that I don't over work my arms?

Does the following look like overkill, will it over work my arms? Any other suggestions?

Monday
AM-Pulls ups, dips, abs, forearms
Tuesday
PM-Chest
Wednesday
AM-Pull ups, dips, abs,forearms
Thursday
PM-Back
Friday
AM- Pull ups, dips, abs, forearms
PM-maybe arms
Sat
AM or PM- Arms (if not done on Friday)
 
No way you can use volume with that workout.....those have to be 1-2 sets per exercise. you are working tris mon, tues, weds, fri, sat (5/7) you would need to take time off every 4 weeks or so

So:

1 Set Pull-Ups to Failure (5 second negative)
1 Set Dips to Failure (5 second negative)
1 Set Finger Rolls with Barbell to failure(forearms)

If you started doing 20 pull-ups on mon and by friday you can only do 10 pull-ups (assuming you are using the same speed) It means its time to grow....so you would need to take 3-4 days off at that point. then when you start again you should be able to do 21 or more pull-ups with same rep speed (meaning you grew more muscle and got stronger)
