I train my online 1-on-1 clients 3 days a week, 40 minutes each... Here’s the exact split. Save it.
THREE SESSIONS. 40 MINUTES EACH. THAT’S THE WHOLE PROGRAM.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Four exercises a session. In and out in 40 minutes.
I know what you’ve heard. That you need to be in the gym five or six days. That you need a split built for a 24 year old with nothing else on his calendar. That anything under 90 minutes doesn’t count.
None of that’s true. And it’s exactly why most executives I meet have quit training three or four times already.
They build a schedule that only works on paper. Life hits by Wednesday. One missed session turns into a missed week, and they write the whole thing off as a discipline problem.
It was never discipline. It was a plan that didn’t fit a real calendar.
Here’s one built for 40 minutes, no wasted movement.
MONDAY — FULL BODY A
Back Squat — 3 x 6-8
Barbell Bench Press superset with Chest Supported Row — 3 x 8-10
Romanian Deadlift — 3 x 8-10
Farmer’s Carry — 3 x 40m
WEDNESDAY — FULL BODY B
Deadlift — 3 x 4-6
Incline DB Press superset with Lat Pulldown — 3 x 8-10
Bulgarian Split Squat — 3 x 8 each leg
Plank — 3 x 40sec
FRIDAY — FULL BODY C
Front Squat (or Leg Press) — 3 x 6-8
Seated DB Shoulder Press superset with Single Arm Row — 3 x 8-10
Barbell Hip Thrust — 3 x 8-10
Suitcase Carry — 3 x 40m each side
Here’s the part everyone skips.
You don’t need more exercises. You need to get properly strong at these and build on them, session after session.
Log your numbers. Every session, try to beat the last one. One more rep, a little more weight, technique still clean. Once you’re hitting the top of the range on every set, add weight and start the climb again.
This is the S.T.R.O.N.G. Method in practice. Structure, not guesswork. Never Miss Twice, not perfection.
Run it for 8 to 12 weeks. Stronger, leaner, moving better than you have in years. Four exercises, 40 minutes, no living in the gym.
Save this. It’s your next three sessions, ready whenever you need them.
