How long do you train

[ssmla123]

I guess I was raised old school...but I'm just now hearing a couple people on another thread saying they only train 45min. I have always taken closer to 90min. I'm thinking about trying the 45min approach now.

For the sake of arguement lets say training for BB/PL. Minus any special training for specific sports (working out at the driving range.)

 

[old timer]

i usually train for about 1 hour. anything more is just too tiring to do.

 

[pullinbig]

takes me 2-3 hours but i take long breaks between sets.

 

[goiterjoe]

it takes me around 1.75 hours to get through my lifting session. 10 minutes of stretching when I get there, 5 minutes of stretching before I leave, and about an hour and a half to work the muscle groups I have set aside for the day. I also try to keep my rest time between sets under a minute so that I'm expending a lot of energy and keeping my muscles pumped up. I want to feel exhausted when I walk out so that I'll sleep that much better when I get home.

usually 1 1/2 hours...
2 when doing legs...like PullinBig...too much rest in between....

 

[noomi_nooma]

45 to 1 hour max

 

[huskyguy]

Just over an hour, when I am lifting heavy. When I am cutting, my workouts are much longer, but I am also adding more cardio, lots of ab work and some additional exercises beyond the core exercises.

Depends on how much rest you get between sets. Mostly it's 1hr.

same here for ME work

DE day my speed sets are timed and ill take a break afterwards BS a little..pkus it takes a little time getting in/out of briefs setting up bands taking weights off etc..

BB'er are always in a rush to leave the gym

It also helps that you guys are so damn strong. Doesn't take as long to warm up for a 300# squat as it does for a 600#.

 

[joshbeam1]

Usually, anywhere from 1-1.5hrs.

It takes me about a half hour to warm up for my squat sessions. Not including that, i am thier for about 45minutes to one hour. Actually it takes me longer to warm up for my DE squat day than anything else.

 

[SamCooke]

ME day: 1hour max... I can load up with 1000 carbs before, and durring but I still get worn out easily. I traing with VERY high-crazy-phsyco-hulk intensity. lol.

I would probably scare the people in my gym, so I train at home with a partner that doesn't freek out when I scream and slap myself durring the workout.

1000 carbs? grams or calories?

 

[SamCooke]

grams

 

[SamCooke]

what i've found that works for me is to take a drink every so often of my pwo shake, (durring the workout) and it keeps me awake. I would use caffeine, or some kind of stimulant, but i have a fast metabolism, and I'm constantly fighting to just keep muscle. When I started lifting I was the same height (5'9") and at a scrawny 110lbs. I'll never go back to that again.
