Short on Time

Inevitably, there will be times when life calls you away from the gym for whatever reason. Remaining calm and having a game-plan is paramount for these instances.

Once it is determined that a modification needs to be made, we recommend prioritizing movements and performing them as prescribed until you have to leave. 

Example 1:

You get a call halfway through your session and have to be at work in an hour, so you look ahead and determine that squats, RDLs, and leg extensions are the order of priority — you proceed in this order until you have to leave. 

Example 2:

You arrive to the gym knowing that you only have 45 minutes to dedicate to the workout, so you prioritize squats, RDLs, walking lunges, seated hamstring curls, standing calf raises, and leg extensions in that order — you only get through squats and RDLs before having to leave.

There are many different ways that we can go about this modification, but it is crucial to stick to the program as closely as possible for long-term progression.

Depending on the set-up of the split, you may be able to add in some of the skipped work on another day of the training week, as long as it is done intelligently and doesn’t impair recovery for the next sessions.
