The trick to only lifting weights for as little as 30 minutes is to follow the 80/20 rule. 80% of your results come from 20% of the things you’re doing. Most of the world’s greatest businessmen, strength coaches, writers etc, follow this rule. So when you lift weights, you need to be doing the 20% of the exercises that give you 80% of your results. What falls into the 20% category is lifting in compound movements, which will make sure that you’re using as many muscles as possible each rep, each set, each workout. Essentially, there are 7 different movements: Knee Dominant, Hip Dominant, Horizontal Push, Horizontal Pull, Vertical Push, Vertical Pull, and Core.
