What I mean is 6 exercises 3 reps each equals 36 min of rest time + all the lifting time. Can you superset these? Can you do one set of each excersise all in a row, then rest after that? On my bike for two hours is fun, but I preffer to get out of the gym after 30 to 40 min. Also how do you know your lifting correctly and not to failure? I've always just lifted till I can't lift it anymore. Does’nt this 2 min rest between sets make for a really long gym session.

Thank you so much for posting this!!! This is so helpful. You have a really great site! I am a cyclist and a rower and this is great for both. I am currently training a 4X15 rep program for 6 weeks and I want to transition to this program because my goal is to inc strength without increasing muscle mass and weight - I am actually trying to decrease weight...So my question is if I switch to this program from my current 5 day a week 4X15 weight training to this will I see weight decrease or have I already messed it all up? Thank you! Hi!

Another plus what i like is these exercise are all COMPOUND exercises and not isolate, hell the squat alone is a full body work out. @ Simon Weighted lunges and squats is a good enough substitute. If extremely eager farmers walk would be great. I LOVE how every exercise mentions Squat, many people havent even heard or know how to do a squat... and these are the people that are bicep warriors. For chin ups lol if you are over 160 (male) doing 1 is pretty still damn amazing if you can pull it off. This is a really good schematic
