My own post from DaveDraper Forum (worked so well, I stopped doing it)

Here is what I found works after reviewing my training log: 

Weekly minimum effective dose: 
Push: 
Push-ups done as 10-8-6-4-2-1 push-up/FLR ladder: 155 reps 
And: 
1h kb press w/ 45# kb: 75 reps 

Pull: 
Dead hand no kip pullups: 100 reps

Squat:
Goblet squat: 50-70 reps @ 80#kb 

Hinge: 
2h swing: 150 reps @ 80# kb 
Or:
1h swing: 400 reps @ 45# kb 

Loaded carry: 
Farmer carry: just doing a farmer carry every workout w/ 80#kb makes a huge difference. I have no idea on distance I just grab and go.

Ab wheel rollout: 
50-75 reps per week 

I typically end up training 5 days per week and workouts rarely if ever last longer than 20 min. I wish I had more time to train but my schedule w/ coaching, kids, work will not allow it. I sit at 6'2 and 205lbs. I have found that if I do the following at least 5 days per week I am absalutely strong enough and athletic enough to do any task or play any sport.

In the AM:
Joint mobility 
Some foundation drills for my lower back 
10-8-6-4-2-1 push-up/FLR ladder 
(This is done immediately upon waking in the morning and takes approx 10-15 min)

Then: in the PM
10/10 , 5/5 1h press @ 45# kb
2 x 5 goblet squat w/ pause at bottom @ 80# kb
10, 5, 5 dead hang, slow pullups 
1 x 30 2h swings @ 80# kb (snappy and powerful)
Farmer carry @ 80# 
1 x 10-15 ab wheel rollouts w/ pause at bottom. 
(This is done after work and takes approx 15-20 min)

I'll add in some sprint work or a 20-30 min run maybe 2-3 times per week if my schedule allows more time and I'm good for anything and most of the time in much better shape and condition than the high school boys I coach and work with. 

Key for me is consistency. Do a little bit each day, hit all basic movements, never go to failure, do lots of joint mobility and make sure I can get in a training session in under 20 min.
