Time Efficient Training
Designing a time efficient hypertrophy training programme
Why?
During certain periods of everyone’s life, life takes over and training needs to take a back seat. However, this should very rarely result in complete cessation of training. Making your schedule as time efficient as possible can be a real tool in helping you still carry out effective training sessions during busy periods in your life. Here are some factors that must be considered and altered when doing so:
| Training Factor | How to make it Time efficient and why? |
| Exercise Selection | Primarily Choose Bi-Lateral Compound Lifts, as these will hit the most muscle groups and are typically the lifts you can easily load. |
| Set Structure | Implement Supersets, Drop-Sets and Rest-Pause sets to increase volume without increasing overall session time by much. |
| Inter-set Rest | Minimise inter-set rest. Typically, down to 1 minute. |
| Volume | Implement minimum effective volume for growth, this is dependant one each muscle group and will vary slightly between individuals. |
