    Afternoon all,

    So im starting a new job at the end of this month which will allow me to get to the gym at lunchtime everyday which is perfect because I cant get up in the mornings and am afraid of being too lazy or tired at night.

    My question is; what is the best way to spilt up the following bodyparts considering I will only have about 45 mins max in the gym every day. Its possible I may be able to get to the gym on a saturday or sunday but I want to go on as if I cant because its not certain.

    Shoulders
    Biceps
    Triceps
    Back
    Chest
    Legs
    Deadlifts

    They are what I do so what is the best way to structure my 45 mins sessions monday - friday assuming I cant get to the gym at the weekends? any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Pick a program thats been written by an expert that you feel fits your schedule theres tons out there. Dont write your own routine and dont do a body part split imo.

    What's your goal?

    Put on size, cut some fat. Not necessarily in that order. I suppose my goal is aesthetic but it will be a medium - long term goal.

    Thanks for that. I think the problem is that there is too much information out there, its hard to pick through it sometimes. I dare not just google it, have you any examples?

    I've always had success with my own routine, or should I say, stealing bits and bobs from others routines.

    What would you suggest instead of a body part split? I doubt 45 mins would be enough to do a full body routine every day and I would like to go every week day, thats why I thought a body split would be most appropriate.

    Open to suggestions of course!

    EDIT: just to clarify, I'm no stranger to training, just a stranger to this schedule so trying to see what the best way to fit in my normal training.

    The likes of Stronglifts or Starting Strength are usually doable in a 45-minute time frame. Well, when I was doing SL I found to be the case but I didn't do the full 12 weeks so I can't say for sure if it is in the latter stages. But it shouldn't take much longer even then.

    Upper lower split ? You can split the upper days into push/pull focus and the lower days into quad/hamstring focus and just keep alternating the upper lower . Wont matter if you miss a day or add in a day .
