If I want to train all my muscles with as few exercises as possible, which should I choose?
Because I have limited time and am naturally lazy, I want to set it up to make it as likely as possible for me to keep going. Consistency over perfection.
I have been using the 80/20 rule; 80 percent of the results with 20% of the work.
Now, due to travel, I am switching from lifting iron to using bands with a platform and bar.
Here is what I have been doing with iron.
- dead-lifts,
- 30% incline overhead bench press,
- squats, and
- dumbbell rows
2x a week; one hour each, to target most major muscles as efficiently as possible. Consistency and efficiency over perfection.
I want to continue building strength, size, and frame.
Any tips when switching to bands? Which exercises?
I want simple over complicated, short rather than long, anything that will encourage me to keep going consistently.
