Suppose that due to various life circumstances, I am now only able to train Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with the rest of the week reserved only for conditioning and occasional GPP work. This would hopefully be only a relatively short-term change (weeks to a month or two.) How would someone adapt or program a strength-training template to maintain or continue progress during this period? Three back-to-back full body sessions feels like too much, while two spaced-out full body sessions feels like too little. If you have template recommendations, I’m down.
Hey Conor,
I would probably do either a full body workout 3-days in a row or an upper lower split. Would look something like:
Full Body
Day 1: squat, press, hinge
Day 2: Press, squat, row
Day 3: hinge, press, squat
Upper Lower
Day 1: Squat, hinge, squat
Day 2: Press, row, press, row
Day 3: Hinge, press, squat
The Gen S/C II 3-day, Bodybuilding II 3-day, and Hypertrophy I template would all be great here.
