Most muscles for fewest exercises

You need to give your upper body some love. If you want to stick with compound dumbbell moves, try the double-handed wood chop which will sort our your arms and transverse abs:

I am embarking on a 5x5 Stronglifts program. From my reading thus far, this may be just what you are looking for.

Strong Lifts is free, and all the information you need is on the website. The pdf you get for subscribing is pretty much the website..in pdf.

While Strong Lifts does cover major muscles, it does miss a few. Someone earlier said pullups(palms facing away), and I would modify that to say chin-ups(palms facing you)

I'm personally adding barbell curls, face pulls, and some sort of tricep exercise to Strong Lifts.

This is it! 3 weeks in. I'm loving it. Simple to follow. Get's the whole body. Doesn't take hours at a time. Take me about 35 minutes warmup to finish. I understand that will get closer to 50 minutes to an hour as I progress but not so far. I am also in great cardio shape from HIIT, running and biking. I never take more than 1 minute between sets, My HR get's up into the 140 but I recover back to the 120 or teens in less that a minute usually. The iPone app says to rest 90 seconds if easy, 3 minutes if hard. I have rarely gotten to 90 seconds on a real hard set.

I agree with you about how annoying StrongLifts' website is, and the PDF they send you is a lot more of the same before you get to any of the real info. That said, the workout itself is really good, once you get past all the used-car salesman crap. Here's the cliff notes version:

Two alternating workouts (A and , 3 times per week. You add 5 pounds to each exercise each workout you do it (so Squats gain 5 pounds every workout, because they're in both A and B. Bench Press gains 5 pounds each time you do workout A, etc).

Workout A:

Squats (5 sets of 5, start with an empty bar weight of 45 pounds and go up from there)
Bench press (5 sets of 5, start with 45 pounds).
Barbell Rows (5 sets of 5, start with 65 pounds (you need plates on the bar to get the proper starting height off the floor. Depending on how big your 10lb plates are, you may also need to stack a couple of plates on the floor for extra height at first).

Workout B:

Squats (same as in workout A)
Overhead Press (5 sets of 5, starting with 45 pounds)
Deadlift (ONE set of 5, starting with 95 pounds. Same reasons as with the rows, you need the bar to be at the proper height off the ground. Increase weight of the deadlift by 10 pounds per workout instead of 5).

Rest for between 1 and 5 minutes between sets, and start doing warmup sets once you reach around 90 pounds over your starting weight. For warmup sets, he recommends 2 sets of 5 at the original starting weight, then add around 40-50 pounds at a time, doing 1 set of 3 reps until you reach your work weight, then do your 5 sets of 5. You shouldn't need to rest between the warmup sets.

Keep up that routine until you reach a point where you can't do your full 5x5 on a particular exercise. When that happens, don't increase the weight for that exercise. Instead, try the same weight again next time. If you can't reach 5x5 three workouts in a row on a particular exercise, decrease the weight by 10% and then start going up again from there (in the usual 5 pound increments). You can switch from adding 10lbs at a time to 5lbs on Deadlift once you've stalled, as well.

This is the "beginner" workout. Once you've stalled on an exercise a few times, he recommends moving on to other workout structures (3x5, 1x5, and so on), but it'll take you a few months to get to that point.

stronglifts 5x5 is fun and in the beginning should only take 30 minutes top a day 3 days a week, as the weights get heavier you will need more rest between sets and it will stretch out a bit more. make sure you do the pendlay rows properly ( google it).

it will seem way to easy for the first 2 months. stick with it, don't jump ahead or you will hurt your progress. Use your few easy months to perfect and improve your form for all lifts and only move up when you complete the 5x5 with impeccable form.

Good luck.

You keep saying that your entire workout only takes 30 minutes total. Do you guys not do the warm up sets and how long do you rest between sets? I find that I am taking close to 30 minutes per exercise?

The workout is very fast at first, because the weight is so light that you don't need warmup sets at all, and you probably need minimal rest between sets. Once you get close to your maximum weight, you'll need to start resting for closer to 5 minutes between sets, which makes the workout take somewhere between 1 and 2 hours, generally (less on Deadlift day, since you don't do 5 sets of those).

bump!!
