A shorter workout doesn’t have to be a throwaway workout—but you need a better strategy than cramming an 80-minute program into 40 minutes.
I break down how to get more out of limited training time by cutting redundant exercises, choosing equipment that lets you train hard quickly, making your warm-up productive, and strategically using supersets, drop sets, rest-pause sets, and shorter rest periods. I also explains why the popular “you only need two sets” approach works for advanced lifters but may shortchange people who haven’t developed the movement quality or effort needed to make those sets count.
