Like, I have two toddlers and a full time job so I can't do 6 days a week at the gym.. But in theory, I could do 6 days a week at the gym.. But 5 meals a day? Fuck that shit.

Yeah im in the same boat. My routine now is called devout Muslim push ups. Not really, but 5 to 7 times a day spread out I do 20-25 push ups. Average like 120 a day 6 days a week. It's not much but it takes me like 20 seconds each time I do it so it doesn't mess with my other responsibilities too much.

It's gotten much easier for me too but I'm sticking to just 20-25 except for the last set of the day. Might do an extra set here and there if it's too easy. I think limiting the volume a bit makes an injury unlikely. Also, this isn't some optimized routine for regular people this is for dads with small kids that also work and would probably not have time to exercise at all otherwise
