Can't find any spare moments to train? Here's how to pack a week's worth of workouts into Saturday and Sunday, while still having time for rest and relaxation.

You've seen them before, the articles touting workouts that get you out of the gym in 45 minutes, sometimes even 30 minutes, so you can get fit and get on with the rest of your busy life. You see them, shake your head and say, "Yeah, I wish I had that much extra time on my hands."

Whether it's an 80-hour work week, a wife and kids pulling you in multiple directions, or '" gulp '" a combination of both, getting to the gym even once during the work week is about as possible as brokering lasting peace between PETA and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.

Does this scenario hit all-too-close to home? You don't have to toss aside your bodybuilding dreams. If you can squeeze out a few hours for dedicated training time on weekends, there's hope, and it's right here: the ProSource Weekend Warrior Workout.

you only need to find 3-4 hours per week

Yes, it's not ideal to cram all of your training into two days, but with your schedule, perfection must take a back seat to reality. And, truth be told, you can accomplish a lot in just two days '" you can thoroughly work every major muscle group, setting the stage for meaningful growth.

Intrigued? Read on, and get ready to pull out your day planner '" you're gonna want to pencil in a couple workouts this upcoming Saturday and Sunday.

SATURDAY: Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Glutes, Back, Biceps, Calves & Lower Abs
Training Time: 90 minutes-2 hours

On the Weekend Warrior plan, you will divide your body parts over two workouts on consecutive days, taking advantage of some overlap by making use of compound movements that hit multiple muscle groups at once. You'll also squeeze more intensity out of every precious minute with layered intensity techniques, specifically pairing rest/pause and drop sets, or partial reps and negatives, on some of the prescribed exercises.

On all of the listed exercises below, if there's not a specific intensity technique listed, you will pyramid up the poundage set-to-set for the weighted exercises, and rep to failure on your last 1-2 sets of the exercise. If a superset is indicated, you do the two exercises listed back to back with no rest; rest 30-60 seconds between each superset.

Start each training session with a 10-minute warm-up on a cardio machine of your choice.

BODYPART(S)	EXERCISE	SETS	REPS
Quads, Hams, Glutes	Leg Press	5	20, 15, 12, 12, 10/failure*
Thighs, Glutes, Back	Deadlift	5	12, 10, 10, 8, 6
Quadriceps	Leg Extension superset with	3	15, 12, 12
Hamstrings	Lying Leg Curl	3	15, 12, 12
Back	T-Bar Row	3	12, 12, 10/failure*
Lower Back	Back Extension	3	25, 20, 15
Back, Biceps	Pull-Up (Note: Start wide, and use a slightly closer grip each set)	4	10, 10, 10, 10
Biceps	Standing Barbell Curl	4	12, 10, 8/10, failure**
Calves	Standing Calf Raise	4	20, 12, 12, 10/failure*
Lower Abs	Incline Board Leg Raise	4	30, 25, 20, 15
* Rest/pause & drop set combo: After performing the prescribed set or sets of warm-ups (if applicable), you'll do three working sets. For the first, choose a challenging weight with which you can only get 12 reps. On the following set, increase the weight 10-15%, and aim for 12 reps; to get there, use the rest-pause technique, resting in the starting position (for instance, for the leg press, in the legs-extended position) for 15-30 seconds between reps as necessary to reach the end of the set. (A spotter helps on the leg press, as it allows you to reach total failure and then have assistance to get the sled back up; otherwise, a good trick is to push on your knees with your hands to help give it a boost.) Finally, on the last set, you'll add a bit more weight, 10-20% (as much as you can reasonably handle), and go for 10 reps, using rest-pause; upon reaching 10, strip off 20-30% of the weight and rep until failure. ** Partial reps & negatives combo: After doing the prescribed set or sets of warm-ups, you'll do three working sets. For the first, pick a weight you can get 10 (and no more) reps. For the next set, add about 15% weight, do eight full reps, then finish with 10 partials. For the last set, add about 10-15% more weight, do as many full reps as you can and then end with partials to failure. On the partials, start with at least half reps, then work down to quarter-reps until you can't move the weight/bar. At that point, if you have a partner, have him/her lift the bar for you, then let it down as slowly as you can, for 3-5 additional "negative" reps.

SUNDAY: Deltoids, Traps, Chest, Triceps, Forearms & Upper Abs/Obliques
Training Time: 90 minutes-2 hours

CARDIO & NUTRITION
The above sessions will amply cover your bases as far as your weight training. Grueling as each routine may be, you'll accomplish a lot in a relatively short period of time '" think about it, you only need to find 3-4 hours per week, which should be possible in all but the most crazed schedules on the planet. (Honestly, if you can't find four measly hours to train, it may be time for a career change.) Monday through Friday, your muscles rest, heal and grow, preparing them to do it all over again in five days.

One piece missing from the puzzle as we've laid it out thus far: Cardio. You have a few cardio options if heart health and fat burning are key priorities for you. One, you could do 20-40 minutes of an aerobic activity of your choosing on Saturday and Sunday, either first thing in the a.m. each day or after your weight workout. Or, if you have the leeway and cooperative weather where you live, you could set the alarm for a bit earlier than usual and begin walking, running or biking outdoors for a similar amount of time 2-4 days per week before heading to work.

You may even want to invest in a high-quality piece of cardio equipment for your home. Whatever option you choose, at the very minimum get in two cardio sessions in per week '" it may not contribute to building more muscle directly, but indirectly the benefits are numerous and undeniable.

As for nutrition, if you're not following some sort of muscle-building or fat-loss diet

There are a number of key supplements you should consider as well: Glutamine to amp your recovery, creatine and nitric oxide products to give your strength and stamina a boost, a multivitamin/multimineral to fill nutritional gaps, and protein powders and bars to serve as meal replacements and provide your body the protein it needs for growth. And if losing weight is your ultimate goal, you can look into a thermogenic supplement as well.

PURSUIT OF PERFECTION
It may be obvious, maybe not, but the so-called " Weekend Warrior" workout is applicable even if your best opportunities to train aren't on the weekend. Perhaps you have a job that allows you time on Mondays and Wednesdays, or Thursdays or Fridays, or maybe it changes week to week. Whatever the case, if you're in a position where you can at best squeeze in two workouts per week, this plan can work for you.

In the quest to have it all '" the great career, family and social life '" you don't have to sacrifice your dream of a great physique. Think of the Weekend Warrior workout as ProSource's way of helping you have it all. (depending on your goals), you should start. It's not enough to train hard on the weekends, and then subsist all week on processed, fast and fatty foods. What you eat during the week, in fact, directly relates to your weekend training '" nutrition early in the week fuels muscle repair and recovery, and later in the week ramps up your energy systems for the upcoming training onslaught. If you follow this system, the best "cheat" day, if you in fact use one, is Wednesday.
