I only have around 30 minutes to 40 minutes in the morning to do these workouts before I have to go to school.
I’m a senior in High School, and I’m just an athletic guy, I am not a weightlifter. I can probably only bench 90 to 100 lbs, and I want to change this.
I’m going to the Citadel this summer and I want to be as physically fit as possible. Being just an athletic guy, which of these workouts will do the best at getting me more muscle and body tone? I like the idea of the Body Circuits workout, since it doesn’t involve me hassling with any equipment, but I do realize that shouldn’t be the focus for me.
I guess I just want to see which one will be the optimum choice for me to build the best muscle in a shorter amount of time?

of those, you’d make the best strength gains w/ the stronglifts……….EVERY strength training program should be based on squats and deadlifts.
that program was actually derived from ‘starting strength’, a book by mark rippetoe. i would check that out because it walks you through how to do the lifts in great detail.
in 10wks on starting strength, i went from 185-215 lbs bw, and my squat went from 190×5 to 275×5 and i was still making easy gains but i injured my shoulder and had to cut it short.
good luck w/ your goals, and remember you need to eat a lot to support heavy lifting. A LOT.
