Busy weeks should = smarter training.
Some weeks, parenting takes all your time. Other weeks, work is nonstop. Suddenly, the gym feels like another task instead of time for yourself.
The most efficient way to train when life gets crazy: one hard set near failure per muscle group per session.
🔘 Your first set recruits the most motor neurons (optimal muscle-building potential).
🔘 The second set recruits far less — meaning diminishing returns.
➡️ Multiple sets = maximizing growth long-term.
➡️ But one near-failure set = most efficient when time is tight.
So on busy weeks, you can still hit the gym, crush a full-body session in ~40 minutes, and stay consistent. Once life slows down, return to your regular training plan.
Don’t be a 💩 head and use this as an excuse to workout less frequently. This is for situations for when you are genuinely struggling to get to the gym. Many people focus on perfection rather than getting it done – something is always better than nothing.
