TL;DR
Four lifts, 3×8–10, about 60–75 seconds rest. You will not max out. You will finish. Open it, start the first set, leave.
Key takeaways
- Compounds only.
- Clock starts after a 2-minute easy warmup.
- Keep a log or the 20 minutes expands to 40.
How it fits 20 minutes
Skip isolation. Skip your phone. If a machine is taken, swap to the dumbbell version and keep moving. This is maintenance and momentum, not a hypertrophy masterpiece.
FAQ
Is 20 minutes enough?
Enough to not skip the day. Stack it with a longer session on other days. Three 20-minute hits a week still beats zero.
