Training subset of Powerlifting II

[tomoplata]

Hi, I've just started running Powerlifting II after a couple of runs of Powerbuilding I but with each session taking 60-90 minutes to complete I'm having trouble fitting that in around family and work stuff. Is the best option to just run a subset of the program or is it best to pick something completely different? If the former how would I go about choosing what to keep and what to skip?
I'm ok with the idea that I won't progress as quickly, but I also don't want to do nothing and lose what I've gained so far.

Thanks for the post. What do you think about training more days for shorter periods of time vs. doing Powerbuilding I (same duration, less days)?

Hi, I would say the former, it's tough to get a long contiguous block of time but I could for sure carve out shorter sessions more days of the week.

I think if you can do the 12 exercises/slots spread over 5-6 days by doing 2 lifts a day or so, that'd be great! I'd do something like:

Day 1:
Exercise 1 from Day 1
Exercise 3 from Day 1

Day 2:
Exercise 2 from Day 1
Exercise 3 from Day 2

Day 3:
Exercise 1 from Day 2
Exercise 3 from Day 3
GPP

Day 4:
Exercise 1 from day 3
Exercise 2 from Day day 3

Day 5:
Exercise 1 from Day 4
Exercise 3 from Day 3

Day 6:
Exercise 2 from Day 4
Exercise 3 from Day 4
