Overcoming “Not Enough Time”

So you don’t have enough time to make gains? That is complete BS! You’re just poor at time management. Even if you’re going to school full time, raising 2 children, and have a full time job all you really need is 3 gym workouts per week at about 20-30 minutes per workout to see great gains.

If all of your workouts are focused on compound exercises you will see rapid lean muscle and strength gains.

The following is my favorite 3-day split that will take 60-90 minutes’ maximum.

For each of these exercises I want you to do 4 total sets pyramiding up to your heavy set.

There will be 2 exercises per workout, and you will be doing 8 total sets per workout. The goal of this split is to focus on increasing your strength and giving you a lot of rest between workouts since you are only going 3 times per week.
