    Hello,
    I wanted to ask you for help with my programming. Starting this week, due to my job (industrial mechanic in heavy industry), we are doing maintenance and repair tasks so for approximately a month we will be working almost all day throughout the week. I only have one day off a week and I will only be able to train that day because the rest of the week I don't have the strength or desire to train. How could I focus the training? I had thought about doing 2x5 in squats, overhead press and deadlifts.
    I am an advanced beginner in NLP and during this month I am only looking for maintenance, I have no intention of progressing.

    Suggestions?

    If I only had one day per week to train I would want to get the maximum benefit from what little time I had. You're going to need some volume to keep the motor pathways alive, and you're going to have lots of time to recover, so I would hit it hard.

    Maybe 5x5 squats, 5x5 bench/press and 1x5 deadlift. Can you at least do your chinups on a work day?
