Most workout plans for college students…suck.
Wait, let me clarify… these workout plans don’t just suck by themselves. They suck when they’re given to college students.
…and the reason is… a typical student is crazy busy.
When you finally get enrolled, move into your dorm, and start your first week, it can be a real punch in the throat when you realize everything that’s being thrown at you.
- Studying
- Homework
- Grocery shopping
- Class
- Exams
- Lab sessions
- Clubs
- Extracurricular
It sounds almost impossible figuring out how to workout in college and still make the grades.
Well, I tried to address this problem and the purpose of this post is to announce a program I created that I believe is the best workout for college students available right now…
The Busy Student Beginner Training Program
See, if I wanted to create the best workout for college students, I had to create a program that tackles one of the biggest problems I think most fitness gurus decide to ignore when writing their programs.
Yea, there are a bunch of other problems when it comes to building muscle and getting lean like lack of motivation, snacking too much, and finding new ways to shove protein powder into anything you can scarf down your pie hole.
But the bigger fish to fry is not having enough time.
In fact, when I began to do research and form this program, I started comparing against other popular programs and noticed they all had the same problems that made them suck for a typical college student…
1. Requiring Too Many Training Days
If you’re planning to make the best workout for college students (like I was), you have to address this issue first.
Other workout plans (like the extremely popular Big Man on Campus program) expect you to train 5-7 days per week in order to build new muscle and increase your strength.
Guess what?
When you’re a beginner or intermediate, you don’t need to train that many times to see GREAT results.
Often guys train so much that they’re out of balance with their caloric consumption and they sabotage their own efforts.
This is a common mistake.
2. Requiring Too Many Exercises
Have you ever opened up a workout program and thought to yourself… “you expect me to do all THAT?”
I mean, I understand that the program creators are trying to give you a balanced physique and build up lagging muscle groups and yada, yada, yada…
But if you’re trying to go for efficiency and time savings, cutting down your exercises is a simple solution if you know how to do it.
I’ll get to that in a minute…
3. Requiring Too Much Volume on Each Exercise
Sure you gotta have some volume in your workout in order to stimulate muscle growth, but it doesn’t have to be insane 20 rep sets or even 5 sets of 12.
There’s a lot of volume that you don’t need and if you just put in more EFFORT on each rep, you would get almost the same results.
If you’re wondering how I address these problems in my college workout plan for guys, make sure you watch the video below.

Are you busy as hell with school and everything else?
When I was getting my bachelor’s degree, it didn’t feel like I had time to do anything.
I was constantly commuting, had chemistry labs, computer science homework, and tried to build a decent-looking body at the same time.
It really burned me out!
What’s your biggest gripe with balancing fitness and keeping your grades high?
