I need some ideas on designing a new program for a limited time frame. I need to keep my workouts short(between 30-45min), but I can go to the gym 4-6 times a week.
I'm having trouble deciding whether I should do a powerlifting style low rep program, or a more traditional program with longer rest intervals. The real problem is efficiency. I'm at 195 at ~10%, so I could cut or bulk. My big question is which would be more effective for a limited time frame? Any ideas? PuMp Up ThE VaLiUm

If you're only going to be there for 30-45 min. why not go balls the the walls for that amount of time. I wouldn't go with a low rep/powerlifting approach because you'll have to wait longer in between sets if you want all your strength for the next set. I also wouldn't try to increase rest time since your time is already so limited. I would try a routine with 3-4 exercises per body part. For the first exercises try to go as heavy as possible but keep your rest time at about 1.5-2 min. Then on the other exercises increase your reps and decrease your rest time to about 45 sec. to 1 min. That way your work a little on strength and then pump a shit load of blood into the muscle for a good pump. My routine is a two on one off routine where I work each muscle or muscle group every 6th day. Here's what it looks like:
Day 1: Arms Day 2: Legs Day 3: off Day 4: Chest and shoulders Day 5: Back and traps Day 6: Off There are obviously different routines for different purposes, but I believe you can cut up or bulk up with this one. If that doesn't work well for you I can come up with several more routines for you to look at. Just let me know!!! Succes is my only option!!
