I work out at lunch and only have 40 minutes each day. Does anyone know of a short time program that is available?

Day 1 – Push Focus (Chest/Shoulders/Tris + Legs)
Barbell Bench Press – 3x6–8
Overhead Press (DB or BB) – 3x8
Walking Lunges or Bulgarian Split Squat – 3x10/leg
Dips or Push-Ups (weighted if possible) – 2xAMRAP
Optional finisher: Plank hold 2x1 min
Day 2 – Pull Focus (Back/Bis + Legs)
Deadlift or Trap Bar Deadlift – 3x5
Pull-Ups (weighted if possible) – 3xAMRAP
Barbell or DB Row – 3x8
DB Hammer Curl or Barbell Curl – 2x10–12
Romanian Deadlift (light/moderate) – 2x10
Day 3 – Push (Variation)
Incline DB or BB Press – 3x8
Arnold Press (DB) – 3x10
Front Squat or Leg Press – 3x8
Skull Crushers or Cable Pushdowns – 2x12
Optional core: Hanging leg raises – 2xAMRAP
Day 4 – Pull (Variation)

Chin-Ups – 3xAMRAP
Barbell Hip Thrusts or Glute Bridge – 3x10
Face Pulls or Rear Delt Flys – 2x12–15

Tips to fit in 40 minutes
Superset smartly: Push + pull (e.g., bench + row) to cut rest time in half.
Cap rest at 60 sec (90 sec on deadlifts/squats).
Track progression—progressive overload is key since volume is limited.
Warm up on the first big compound, then roll.

That was ChatGPT.
I've been using it to plan my splits. You can tweak it however you would like and if there's things you want it to change just let it know.
