How long do you spend at the gym????

[barrysanders]

I'm wanting to get some opinions from some bigger guys.

How long do you spend at the gym during your workouts? I know that each muscle group is a little different but on average whats the time spent????

Thanks!

On average? I'd say an hour and a half.

I try to limit my weight lifting to no more than an hour, though.

The rest of my workout is cardio.

1 1/2

1 hour. Max. unless I was training with a partner.

My workouts now are sometimes less than that now.

Remember, we don't grow in the gym. The gym should be like a fat girl. Hit it and quit it.

Guys who answered: I have read from a bunch of different interviews with the big time IFBB pros that they sometimes spend 3-4 hours at the gym-what is that all about??? I have the time so I just want to make sure that I'm not missing something.

indeed.

the guy i train with the most, me and him just pound thru our workouts hard and fast, but sometimes i train with other buddies and such and often we'll spend 3 hours or so in the gym but that's just because we're chatting, helping each other out, etc. but somewhere in there is a good 45 minute block of just me going after the iron.

I just spent two and a half hours in the gym.


Workout was:


10x10 chest press

10x10 incline press, increments of 5lbs a set starting at 40lbs

10x10 dips

10x10 fly's, alternating cables, dumbbells and machine

and 400 reps of abs, but I sorta cheated and used an ab coaster today.


Feels good when you get done, but I threw up about 3 times And I had to stop and get some carbs about an hour in.
