How to: Balance working out with hectic work schedules or assessment heavy weeks

Hey guys, 

Gonna keep this as short and sweet as I possibly can. But anyways i'm here to present to you how i fit gym into an assessment heavy week.

This week has been hectic with exams and assignments due so I've had to reduce the number of days i go to the gym which is isn't bad if you do it correctly :).

What I like to do is... Instead of training a body part each day as you would normally, what i do is change my split to a Pull/Push/Legs. Monday i trained back, rear delts and biceps. Tuesday was chest, shoulders and triceps. Then this Friday will be legs.

It simple really, just train intensely as you normally would and yeah 

Bye sluts

My leg workout


1. Squats* (4-5 working sets, 6-15 reps)
2. Leg press (4 sets, 15-20 reps)
3. Lunges (3 sets, 8-10 reps each leg)
4. Stiff legged deadlift** (3-4 sets, 10-12 reps)
5. Leg extension (3 sets, 12-15 reps)
6. Seated or lying hamstring curl (3 sets, 12-15 reps)

*- alters each week with either front or bac squat. Also swap between strength and hypertrophy weeks

**- either barbell or dumbbell (always like to mix it up)

My legs are no where near where I want them to be but I'm patient :)
