How long are you in the gym for?

[bigben66]

Might as well ask guys how long their dick is. Those numbers are all suspiciously round, and you can bet that nobody is rounding DOWN! ;-)
I try to get out in under 30 mins by working opposing muscle groups instead of resting. Hell, I'm happy to walk out in 20 minutes. (not including warm-up. I think counting the warm-up in your workout time is like measuring your dick on the underside and hoping that the lie will become true if you tell it to yourself enough!)

9" long and thick as a baby's arm

Usually takes 45min to complete my main lift with warm up.
Accessory will usually take another 45-1hr depending on how much I do.

I'm just not into the whole rush rush rush thing, I burn calories sitting in a chair, so rushing would be like cardio for me (and I don't believe in cardio). I seen minimal improvements when I did a fast paced/super set everything type routine.

Like they say "everyone's different"

The old days 3 hours


These days 90 minutes

They spend longer than that chatting on the exercise bikes, going 5mph

Don't even see the fat girls get out in 20 minutes at my gym, and they don't have dicks.

I personally try to go for a hour usually. I find it best to always go in the sauna and rotate my shoulders 15 times in both directions and side to side and crack my back and flex for 3 to 5 minutes afterwards. The sauna increases blood flow to the muscles and area im going to train and in my opinion makes me less injury prone. Same with flexing. Than I will start with really light cable weights or machines like 20 pounds to 30 pounds for chest and focus on contracting the muscles and blood flow. And try to identify anything that might hurt or feel out of place. Because even warming up with 30 to 40 pound dumbels can be enough to fuck a muscle up or hurt your joints if they are to dry or something is wrong. So I try to do a entire warm up from arm rotations to flexing to extreme light weight pump ups that takes about 15 to 20 minutes than I will hit the weights and little heavier and move up slowly. But slow enough to where I am not tiring my muscles yet just seeing if they are able to handle heavy weight that day. I will go all out only after I am probably about 3 times as warmed up as the normal person would consider warmed up.

And I still never go under 8 reps. Some times I stay in the 15 rep range. Because I find my strength is so high on certain exercises that for example doing leg presses at 1000 pounds would only hurt my lower back and not do to much more for leg development. So why not do 20 reps at like 400 pounds and have my ass touch my heels on each rep and do each rep perfect. I find time does not matter in the gym. It really boils down to a mathematical formula of rotating strength gaining weeks to normal work out weeks. Because without raising strength you can not get bigger muscles. Do to the fact you can not ever do higher repetitions of higher weight. I would say though with small body parts never increase the poundage more than 20 pounds over what you have ever done per week. I have went from 110 pounds before on certain exercises to 200 without building up to it. And it just will cause damage. Your body needs to adjust to it slowly. So to the OP my answer to your question is however long it takes to get the job done. My muscles are my time clock. The janitor asks me every day 45 minutes or one hour today and every day I tell him the same answer I don't know man I just do It tell I get the job done I loose track of time. Lol he does not speak good English but his care for my work outs make me enjoy his commentary. Ha ha ha he use to always say your looking big today. And the minute I hopped on juice and gained 17 pounds he hasn't said anything to me. So I think he knows something is up. Well that is my long ass response to a simple question. Lol I told you every thing I wanted to tell that damn janitor so I ended up just venting to you guys about it.

^^^^^^He goes for an hour^^^^^^

50 minutes for me.

I spend 45 mins to 2 hours lifting depending on the body parts and rest periods. I'm in the gym for about 1.75-2.75 hours total though with all the warming up, mobility work, cardio, sauna and abs

Oooooh sauna - big NO NO after weights.... Get out and get your nutrition down your neck!
Sweating out even more essential nutrients and calories is a huge mistake!

I eat a can of pineapples and drink some milk while sitting in it, also supplement intra workout and drink 40oz's milk just prior to leaving for gym, lol. While I'm awake I never go more than four hours without food, typically 2-3 hours though and post workout is no different. I feel like the increase in blood flow helps me recover, to me peri workout nutrition is more important than just post workout and 10-15 mins extra without food wont hurt IMHO

Routine ive developed for myself over time training about 4 years now

Day 1 = Chest + Bi's = 1h 15min + 1h = 2h 15min
Day 2 = Shoulders + Traps = 1h 15min + 1h = 2h 15min
Day 3 = Tri's + Abs = 1h 15min + 1h = 2h 15min
Day 4 = Off !
Day 5 Back = 2h
Day 6 Legs = 2h - 3h
Day 7 Off! developed this over time ( sometimes throw in another 30 min ab workout in an off day )

3 day tricep poundage... then probably deads and squats back to back (back legs)

Hour! i time myself. No bullshit conversatioons with anyone

 

[Millertime]

You guy training weights for 2 hrs+ really are wasting your muscles away. Body cant handle that even if sucking down protein and carbs every second.

He should swap days 2 & 6 with each other... this alleviates the 3 day tricep use!
