Get In Shape Only Training 1 Hour Per Week
If More Time Spent Training Was Really Better, Then Spending 20 Hours a Day Working Out Would Turn You Into A Greek God.
The biggest myth about getting in shape is that it takes dozens of sets, endless reps, and months of patience to see results.
95% of people who regularly lift weights go through the same exact pattern:
• They show up day after day for months
• Train for 1-2+ hours until they're sluggish
• Make hardly any progress after a while
• Eventually give up in frustration or keep wasting endless time just to look the same.
The vast majority of people are simply turning the gym into a cardiovascular competition. They do marathon-style workouts which do very little for changing their body composition.
Training is completely useless without high levels of intensity, which can only be allowed for by keeping the volume of your training very low.
Are You a Busy Entrepreneur?
Progress Over 8 Months With 1 Hour of Total Weekly Training (One 30-Minute Workout Every 3-4 Days)
My 1 Hour Per Week Experiment:
Unless you're a bodybuilder on large quantities of performance-enhancing drugs, your body will not be able to recover from high amounts of intense training (or even moderate amounts, depending on your genetics, age, and other factors).
The majority of people you see with above-average physiques are using a sub-optimal training method which would not work for the average person, however, their above-average genetics make almost any half-effective style of training work well.
Far too many people make the error of believing that if the majority of people who are in shape train one way, then that way of training must be the best.
This, however, is a huge mistake because for every 1 individual who may get results with a common training method, there are 20 individuals who try it and get no results at all.
If the common approach to fitness that most people engage in worked so well, then the majority of people who try it would nearly maximize their aesthetic potential, but in fact, it is exactly the opposite: the majority of people who regularly work out are far from in shape.
Formulating a proper fitness protocol has nothing to do with looking at what the vast majority of people do (who aren't in shape) and copying it, or even worse, copying it and doing "a little bit more" in hopes that you'll get better results by doing a 6th set instead of 5.
It is about understanding what is required by nature to develop a well-rounded, healthy-looking physique. That is, adequate muscle mass for your frame and a low enough body fat percentage for it to show through.
In order to accomplish this as a busy entrepreneur, it is simply a matter of eating a balanced diet with the proper amount of total calories depending on your weight goals, and doing strength training with the correct intensity and volume to stimulate increases in muscle mass.
It's not a competition to see who can go into the gym and stay the longest, to see how much protein you can ingest in a sitting, or to see how few carbohydrates you can function on.

Why 1 Hour Per Week Of Training Is All You Need:
The majority of people operate on a very simple, and highly flawed, mental principle:
The idea that more is better.
More chocolate tastes better than less, so more training must be better than less, right?
If 5 sets yield good results, then 10 sets must yield even better results, right?
If training 3 days a week is good, then training 6 days a week must be great, right?
The problem with this idea is that if more were really better when it came to training, it would logically follow that you should train as many hours as you possibly can to build the best body.
The reason this cannot be true is because the workout only serves as the stimulus for muscle growth, but your body only grows during rest.
When you go into the gym and perform an intense set of bicep curls, you are not producing muscle growth in your biceps but simply stimulating growth by placing such a sheer demand upon the muscle which triggers them to grow bigger and stronger in order to be able to handle the level of stress you're placing upon them.
Once you've performed enough exercise to send the signal to your muscles telling them to grow, any more training is not only unnecessary, but beyond a certain point, it is counterproductive.
Doing exercise beyond what is required to stimulate the adaptive response (aka growth or overcompensation) simply adds unnecessary stress onto your body, making it more difficult for you to recover.
Once you've given your muscles enough demanding training to stimulate the growth response, you don't need to spend any more time in the gym exhausting yourself.
