Full Body Workout Plan For Time Poor Bodybuilders
If you’re like me then you’re time poor and you’ve got limited time to dedicate to your weekly workouts.
We live in a busy world and we’ve all got multiple commitments, but we still need to fit out training it. So do yourself a favour and try out this excellent plan for yourself.
I designed this plan with the focus on still getting stronger and improving my body composition each week, but also not wanting to be in the gym any longer than three or four hours in total per week.
Plus, because I have some spare time up my sleeve thanks to this program, I’m going to give you a guide on how you could set up your supplementation protocols too.
Let’s get started with supplements
If you’re after the basic supplements that will yield the best results, just like this training program then I believe the following guide is worth a try.
You’ll recover faster, have more energy and also be building muscle. I use Bulk Nutrients supplements as I feel they work best for me.
| With Breakfast | 1 x serve AM Burner |
| Pre Workout | 1 x serve NO3X 2.0
1 x serve Creatine Monohydrate taken with 1 litre of water |
| Post Workout | 1 x serve Earth Protein – I prefer a vegan protein, but you can use whichever protein you like. |
My four week training program
So here it is my ultimate four week training program template for the time poor bodybuilder.
The template below provides all exercises, sets and reps you’ll need in this program. You’ll just need to decide how much weight best suits your ability, remembering to aim to up it every week, particularly in the shorter rep sets.
I’ve done the easy part of the program for you by creating it. Now it’s your turn to pick the weights up.
