There's lots of days when you just can't seem to make it to the gym. For whatever reason: too busy; workouts going to be too hard; shoulder hurts; it's too nice out.

The problem with this when it comes to strength is that there is a very limited window of time for improvement. After you've done the work out of appropriate load, you really only have about a week (give or take a day)before you start losing that strength. Different muscles have different timelines but for the most part a week is a good guideline.

Sometimes, you just genuinely can't be at the gym for a very long time. Maybe you don't have enough time for a full workout. There is something that you can do!

Performing one single set of strength at about 65% of your training maximum has been shown to stop strength loss, and can go a long way to keeping you growing.

So what you can do with very little time, it's perform a modified or shortened strength session. During this work out, You will mobilize, warm up, and load yourself up to 65%. Then perform a set or two (if you want to do three that's fine) and then get out of Dodge. It's not very difficult, takes very little time and won't make you feel worn out to do the rest of the things that you have to do in life.

Consistency is key in this game. It's important that you don't miss a week once you get going.However, sometimes for whatever reason you just can't handle the volume of a full workout. So, try this and tell me how you do!
