Yeah but I don't have grip problems...

its about improving grip, not fixing grip problems

You will not know unless you try it

[Birds]

Why do I want to improve my grip?

Why do I want to improve my grip?

I can think of some reasons

I can think of some reasons

Well with Leesh in a different state and all....

[bozodos]

farmer's walks did wonders for my grip, that and Kroc rows

[-FIGJAM-]

Anyone got any idea for a workout that can be completed in 45minutes or less consistently? I am pressed for time these days due to work and now training during my lunch break.

I am thinking a split system and can go 4 days a week.

Goals are obviously looks but also some strength would be nice as it would transition for sport

Would really like the main lifts squats, bench and deads in the routine as well as chin ups and either dips or machine dips

Squat, front squat, deficit SLDL

Bench, DB flat bench, weighted dips

Deadlift, BB rows, GHR

Military, DB incline, weighted chins

You've described my workout there, which is less than 45 minutes and 4 times a week...

Squats/Pullups one day

Deadlifts/Bench the next

In that order. Repeat later in the week.

I find there is little overlap unless I really push squats hard and my back is tired from them. Even then, not a big deal. I would put your dips on the bench day.

Give it a shot and see what you think?

[L33SH]

+1 for squats/pull-ups and deadlift/bench routine, except mine takes longer than 45 minutes.

[Birds]

Yeah but that's cause you're silly

what about shoulder development?

[Dajae]

Pull ups and benching will usually suffice in the shoulder development department. If you're talking about "aesthetics", well, you're probably asking in the wrong forum..

Mr FIGJAM

My 2 cents

Starting Strength, 5 x 5, 5-3-1 or 8-6-3

www.blackironbeast.com has some good programs.

Main lifts are Mil press, deads, bench and squats, you can do a basic workout which takes 20 minutes, lots of options with all the hard calcs done for you.

Im doing a 5-3-1 body building template which takes between 45 minutes and 1 hr dependant on rest time and lifts done.

The TRIUMVIRATE (smart mans program) should see you out of the gym in under 45 minutes

As for looks and strength you can have both with just lifting heavy on the basics with minimal assistance exercises, (i.e no bro curls or wrist curls or other stupid exercises that support the vain)

[Birds]

what about shoulder development?

Bench will give you plenty of it

If you have to do a vertical shoulder exercise then I would say a bit of military press on the squats day.

But yes, aesthetically bench will develop them fine...and strength wise...well if you're trying to get a decent bench then bench is good for that
