That was an incredible post. That routine is pretty much the same routine I used to go from 155lbs to 200lbs with about 10% body fat in 1 year. Ahh… the good old days. I now opt for calisthenics, but if your looking for a bread and butter workout routine to build some serious muscle mass this is it.

Gaining muscle mass is so simple, this post shows that, people don’t believe me when i give them very short workouts, with heavy compound exercises. Their minds are so filled with so much junk from bodybuilding magazines and other sources, they start to believe that one needs to be a genious scientist and to live in the gym to grow their muscles, but the truth is so simple. Nice post

Yes, that’s it – I remember my friend saying something about spartans! I was sore, but really enjoyed it. Going to try it again this week I think.

Thanks for the comments guys, Now this post has a host of under 30 minute workouts, amazing! Keith the workout you posted sounds killer, will have to treat myself to it sometime this week, I haven’t dead-lifted in a while so I’m sure it will hit me hard!

@ Methuselah. That workout looks awesome much like the famed 300 workout that was buzzing around the web a while back. Bet you must have felt it for days after those 29 minutes…..

Nice workout – might try it next week. I tried something different this week, which a friend sent over. It also follows the idea of no rest between sets, with different exercises following one another to prevent fatigue. It’s an absolute killer but you can fit it into 30 mins.

25 pull ups
50 burpees
50 press-ups
50 deadlift
50 wipers
50 dips
25 pull ups

The idea is to complete this as quickly as possible. For the deadlift I used 50kg. I ended up doing singles with rest in between for the pull ups at the end…it took me 29.54.

Great workout example! Yesterday, I did a 5×5 routine including deadlifts. It was a nice change of pace after having recently doing a 4×10 routine. I was able to lift heavier, and hope that this will pack on some more muscle. Compound exercises are a real key – they hit so many muscles!

One of my favorites –
Deadlifts + weighted dips + weighted pull-ups, 30 minutes worth. Pat yourself on the back when you’re done. Have a Guinness that night in celebration. But just one.

Thanks for the word, Chris –
