25–35 minute gym sessions: what do you actually do to keep getting stronger?
Quick question for people who only have 25–35 minutes at the gym (lunch breaks, crowded evenings, or unpredictable windows): what do you actually do to keep getting stronger? Two compound lifts? Heavy singles with long rests? Supersets to save time? Share one routine or small progression that reliably raised your numbers despite short sessions.

Keep it simple: pick 1–2 compound lifts per session (squat/hinge + press/pull). Aim for 2–4 hard work sets per lift per session and train the lift 2–3 times/week (full‑body or upper/lower split) so weekly volume accumulates. Use heavy (3–6 reps) or moderate (6–12) ranges depending on your goal; stop ~1 rep shy of failure (RPE 7–9). Progress by adding small weight increments (0.5–2.5 kg) or one extra rep each session. Use supersets for assistance work or cluster sets for heavy singles if you need longer rests but less time. Warm up specifically (5–8 min) and prioritize recovery and daily protein to support strength gains.
