This means you’ll find yourself saving gym time while increasing
valuable recovery time. And that’s not all… another benefit you get to enjoy is the
simplicity. Forget the puzzling routine you recently printed off the web. You are performing just one lift a day, leading to less confusion and improved focus.
So which exercises should you select and what does a training week look like?
We have a handful of options available to us, but the following is a terrific place to start…
- One lift a day workouts call for compound exercises. This gives us a pressing move for Monday followed by a pulling move on Tuesday (dips and chin-ups are fine choices).
- On Wednesday, you do legs (for this, perform some type of squat).
- Thursday? It’s a day off.
- Friday is for overhead presses — use dumbbells, kettlebells or a barbell.
- Saturday is reserved for deadlifts.
- What about Sunday? Hey, that’s another rest day!
This easy-to-follow routine targets all your major muscle groups in the minimum time.
To build strength, a basic 5x5 is a solid way to go. And if hypertrophy is your goal? Ramp up your reps with 4 sets of 8 — a surefire solution when you find yourself time-strapped!
