Welcome to METT.
Home of the Minimal Elapsed Time Training.

Are you entreupreunurerer? Just had a bunch of fucking kids? Some other irrelevant bullshit taking up most of your time?

EXCELLENT GAINS CAN STILL BE MADE BROTHER!


Take the METT-pill:

>Pleb tier: some gym right where you live/work + machines only
>Body weight sigma tier: Cali park nearby/pullup bar at home + nordics + reverse nordics/pistol squats
>Ascended sigma tier: Cali park nearby/pullup bar at home + backpack calisthenics
>Normie NPC tier: Dumbbells at home
>God King tier: barbell + stands + bench


ITT: Discuss METT
How is training going?
How's the rest of life going?
What are you gonna train today?

What's your setup?
How long have you been METT-pilled?

WARNING: there is a mentally ill retard shitting up these threads with his perfectly transparent samefagging (especially falseflagging as OP samefagging).
Don't feed him, just hide and report.

WARNING 2: these threads have been known to get mysteriously deleted (random technical error, no doubt), so if you care about this board and our ability to actually talk about fitness - just make another one using the standard text for the OP and the first post.
Screenshot and save anything suspicious.
>>
UPPER BODY:
>ANTAGONIST SUPER SETS
>BENT OVER BARBELL ROWS/PUSH UPS (can do weighted)
>BENCH PRESS/INVERTED ROWS (can do weighted)

And don't forget: if your squat stands are good enough you can set them high enough to do pullups so you don't even need a separate pullup bar.

But even if you don't wanna do super sets, you can still use the same method as with legs and get your rest times down to 1.5-2 min in which case 5 sets of push + 5 sets of pull will take less than 20 FUCKING MINUTES LOL.
>>
LEGS:
>ALL YOU NEED is A SQUAT + A SLDL/GOOD MORNING (especially good if you dont have enough plates yet).
>Conventional, not hinge-biased deadlift is either a waste of time or a way to save even more time. So either dont have it at all or ONLY deadlift in which case it's gonna be a SHITTY SQUAT + SHITTY HINGE which when done at least twice a week adds up to ONE PROPER SQUAT + ONE PROPER HINGE
>Do 5x5-10 reps WITH THE SAME WEIGHT
>Don't progress sets or reps or weight
>Progress how little you rest.
>Shave off
>Get down to at least 3 min
Congrats, you are now a WORK MACHINE that gets 5 sets of legs done in ~20 min.
So your leg day now takes 40 minutes.
>>
>makes a “general” thread

METT-pilled exercises that you should LOVE AND CHERISH:

PUSH:
>(Weighted) Pullups
If you have anything you can do pullups on - it's a no-brainer. Super fast and super convenient.
IMPORTANT: you can set these up with just adjustable squat stands + barbell put in their hooks.
>Barbell rows
If you have a barbell or a pair of dumbbells - this beautiful exercise with train YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING BACK INCLUDING SPINAL ERECTORS + biceps + forearms.
Minimal rest needed, minimal setup needed.
You can literally do AN ENTIRE WEEK'S WORTH OF FUCKING BACK WORK IN LITERALLY 10 FUCKING MINUTES. So if you do 5 sets of pullups in under 10 min and some other day in the week 5 sets of rows in under 10 min - YOU LITERALLY JUST DID 10 FUCKING SETS COVERING YOUR ENTIRE BACK + BICEPS PERFECTLY in 15-20 min per week.
Revel in how amazing that is.

PULL:
>(Weighted) Dips
Same as for (weighted) pullups, but you cant set these fuckers up with just squat stands + barbell, so you might have to do...
>(Weighted) push ups (best variation: knuckle, deficit)
Second quickest/METTest thing to do for chest. Excellent for beginners, but at some point you'd need to use so much weight it's awkward/fucktarded/slow/backpack-ripping/still not heavy enough to develop strength.
>Bench press
Da king of pushing. Takes just a tad more setup than the barbell row and the recovery may be just a tad slower but it's still super easy to shit out 5+ solid sets and be done for the week.
>OHP
Essentially same points as for barbell rows and a perfect METT-addition to bench press to get 10 sets of push per week covering CHEST+TRICEPS + FRONT DELTS + SIDE DELTS + REAT DELTS (a little) +CORE (a little) +LOWER BACK (a little)
>Push press
Probably unnecessary for novices but overall is one of THE most important OVERALL strength exercises. And now you're adding some legs into equation (not a huge stimulus but it is something which is what METT is all about).
>>
SQUAT:
>Backpack squats => pistol squats => backpack pistol squats
Great stuff for dyels, can be done pretty quickly. Make sure to grab something with your FINGERS to remove balancing form the equation but still not be able to cheat.
>Reverse nordics
THIS is the kind of METT squatting. Hard as fuck, amazing fucking stimulus and takes close to zero setup (just need some mat and maybe a block if you cant reach the floor with your head).
>Barbell squat
Takes some warmup which can be pretty quick if you start your warmup with a plate and then for each next set add a plate/however much is left to get to work weight. Also takes good developed cardio to rest 3 minutes as opposed to 5-10.

HINGE:
>Deadlift
Amazing as a SINGLE leg lift. Hits EVERYTHING aside from push and pull muscles.
>SLDL
Pure hinge. Solid when done with a squat/quad exercise.
>Good morning
Great pure hinge. Less weight than SLDL so less warmup.
>Nordic curl
King of METT. Ideally you'd have something immovable to put your ankles under. Otherwise use bench with a bunch of plates on top of it. Takes some setup but is extremely quick and unlike SLDL/Good mornings if you do this at all decently you'll get amazing hams stimulus.
Lower back too - especially when you do cheaty reps at the end.

Did 5 sets of bench today. Pretty nice chest pump but as always tricep took most of the hit and were bruning at the end with my epically short 2 min breaks. Tried the rotation exercise but kinda half-assed it. 25 min or so in total

Today is accessory day and the beauty is I'll simply hit 5 sets of rows that were due yesterday and then do the accessory if I still have time.
These 2 accessory days are the buffer which allows you to do the compound you missed earlier in the week.
Absolutely essential for the minmax type of METT

Thanks for making this thread Op. Big mett fan here. Here’s my most recent pic. I only workout about 5 minutes per week.

Oh yeah and demoralizers can fuck off!
>>
>>77530745
Honestly I feel like 1 min on bench is enough cardio-wise but I'd be losing so much strength that I don't wanna. Studies show the 1.5 min is the limit where if you rest any less you're definitely leaving gains on the table so I guess *optimally* I should be doing that
>>
>>77530751
The most extreme I've seen was 1 minute every 3 months, and they kept making gains. Power Factor training I believe
>>
>>77530756
1 set training, all out, with supersets.

E.g. chest day is pec fly then run to the bench then run to the dip station. Then go the fuck home and rest.

But as for your normal style training and rests, fuck those studies, I rest 45 sec to 1 min 15 generally and that used to be normal. Only since cellphones and music because ubiquitous did tests stretch out so far

Posting my adjusted routine. I fixed a couple things after the advice some of you guys gave a couple threads ago.

For the record, each of these exercises have a "4 rep window" meaning the rep number on each exercise is just the average (ex: 3x10 is technically 3x8-12).
Routine currently goes: Push A - Run - Pull A - Run - Legs A - Run - Push B - Run - Pull B - Run - Legs B - Run etc...
Once I finish the 5k I'm training for, I'll go to a PPL(A) -Run - PPL(B) - Run.

Most of the abbreviations are obvious but if there's any confusion:

>DB = Dumbbell
>BB = Barbell
>I = Incline
>S = Seated
>F Pull = Face Pulls
>H Curl = Hammer Curls
>C Raise = Calf Raise
>H L Raise = Hanging Leg Raise
>S Squat = Split Squats
>H Thrust = Hip Thrusts
>S Calf = Seated Calf Raise

Lmk what you guys think.

>>77532371

>>
>>77531939
The MOST important thing by a mile is VOLUME PER MUSCLE PER WEEK followed by distribution of said volume.

>The total volume of push for upper body is solid but it's all in one day per week usually
>Push has 9 or 12 sets a week (and on some weeks it's 21 fucking sets lol) which is good
>pull has 3 or 7.5 sets per week (not counting spinal erectors here because those are convenient to group with hinge muscles; counting deadlift as half volume for back) so some weeks it's essentially maintenance
> Squat has 3 or 4.5 sets a week (counting deadlift as half volume for quads) most weeks which is maintenance basically
> Hinge is 3 or 4.5 sets per week (counting shit-ass hip thrusts/back extensions and deadlifts as half volume)

So basically:
>A bunch of accessories while underdoing main movements
>1xPPL which requires at least 4-5 hard sets of main movements per day MINIMUM but many movements have less
>Honestly unnecessary variation at the cost of important volume

Hence:
>You can totally remove one compound exercise from push days (whatever the fuck rope push is);
>You can totally trim super specific accessories;
>You SHOULD add couple of sets of PULL to PULL B (and no, accessory bs like facepulls don't count)
>You SHOULD add at least 2 sets of squats/leg press/whatever da fuck to leg days
>You SHOULD add couple of sets of hinge to LEG B

Easiest biggest fix would be to include deadlifts and nordics in B days and add 1-2 sets of squats and deadlifts.
That said if you're still making weekly or at least biweekly progress on lifts with this amount of volume - disregard most of what I said.


Ideally it would be better to essentially do full body 3x a week or do
URURLR similar to the other anon's lifting-maxxed LUALUAA - but that takes more know-how

Yesterday was accessory/cardio day. Didn't do any cardio or accessories but I DID do a bunch of barbell rows that were due the day before.
Felt much heavier and the shitty side/lower back felt slightly weird but overall went fine.
Did 4 sets and nothing got ACKed so we're doing good.

Today is squatz.

ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM CALISTHENICS WORKOUT

100 Squats - as many sets as it takes
50 pushups - as many sets as it takes
20 Pullups - as many sets as it takes
50 Bridges - as many sets as it takes

Once you can perform all the reps of an exercise in a single set upgrade to a harder variation.
Squats > Shrimps > One legged Squats
Push ups > Close Pushups > Diamond Pushups
Chinups > Pullups > Archer Pullups
Trapezious Bridge > Partial Neck Bridge > Full Neck Bridge

- After 3x3 top set, supset with dips and chinups (requires no weights)
Keep bar with 135 on the ground near dip/chin setup at all times to start a session. Hits full body including arms and trains athleticism.
