Minimalist STRENGTH for Busy Men & In Season Athletes.
I put together 8 slides to break down how to implement a Minimalist strength program for both Busy Men / Dads as well as In Season Athletes.
I am using a Minimalist program now after being sick for 2 weeks and feeling the need to lessen volume, slow down my pace of life, focus more on business these next few weeks and get MORE from LESS.
My son is also in season with Baseball, often times getting home after 6 PM.
When we go to The Underground together at night, I tell him we are doing a Minimalist training session.
The last time we trained together we did:
1A) Safety Bar Squats 4 x 3 - 5
1B) Box Jumps 4 x 2 - 3 reps
2A) DB Bench 3 x 5
2B) 1 Arm Row 3 x 5
We added some rear delt / upper back / rotator cuff work via bands a few times between sets. That's it. Short and sweet, getting it done.
My son also did some soft tissue work for his lats and back.
Simple and effective, perfect for the time crunched in season athletes.
See the rest of the slides below:
I pulled up an older video from The Underground with my minimalist approach. I was doing a short strength session as I was driving 45 minutes each way to The Underground.
The session above was:
1A) Pull Ups 3 x MAX
1B) KB Farmer Walks 3 x 6 - 8 laps inside The Underground
2) Low Handle Trap Bar Deads - Work up to a Heavy Triple
3 exercises and done.
You can alter the reps as you wish. 3 x 5 reps works great. If you are advanced, you might need another set to get to a top end set.
