length/time of workouts?

[bulk]

i have usually been hitting close to 3 hourse on upper and next day like 2 hours on lower with abs, on a cycle and lots of supersetting , wondering how long most of you guys train for?

 

[Paul Bunyan]

Is that per week or per workout? My workouts rarely exceed 1hr.

that a days workout, you only hit one hour huh? is that cuz your more going for strength?

 

[ShortStop]

my workouts usually last an hour no more than an 1 1/2 hours. i work one body part per workout

 

[Final Approach]

Before my shoulder got tore up, I would average about 1:15 per workout. Sometimes, if the gym is packed, 1:45. But never more than that.

 

[Paul Bunyan]

Not just because of strength but for size too. I reached a peak bodyweight of 345lbs with 4 one hour workouts per week. Get in, hit it hard, get out. Now my training is focused on fat loss and conditioning and I'm down to 285. Workouts are still no longer than 1hr on my 3 weight training days and 15-30min on cardio days.

how long do ifbb pros train for on a cycle? so are you not training long because ive heard the cortisol thing will hit ya huh? im using test and slin, so 3 hours on upper is too long huh?

My leg day is 1hr and sometimes 1hr 15min. My two other upper body days are around 45min each. Until I shortened my workouts I couldn't get over 210lbs without getting fat. By shortening my workouts I was able to get to around 250lbs. Of course I'm old. So maybe my experience doesn't count.

when it comes to anything about working out its all theoretical there is so much variables of your body to take into consideration genetically certian ppl workout long ass workouts and get great results but generally speaking most ppl only workout 1-1.5 hour three hours to me sounds like overtraing, but you might be able to at this point who knows. but the bigger you get the more rest you need and one of the biggest limiting factors of many bodybuilders is overtraining. if you are tired all the time and have trouble sleeping and so on you prob over training.

I think in some cases people miss the fact that you grow outside the gym. Can you give us example of this 3 hours workout....exercises sets and reps?.........I think I could do my normal weekly routine for my entire body in about 3 hours.

lol...yeah with all the advances in supplements and technique, experience does not count for much anymore...

I try to keep my wokouts at an hour, but I work out before work so I have a limit in place anyway. When I can take my time I can spend 1.5 hours, more because it feels good not to rush, or have a time limit.

I can't imagine a real workout over two hours (not including cardio).

IMO a 3 hour workout is way too much.

"my two cents"

i was basically hittin all lifts on a upperbody day with like 2 to 3 supersets on a lift, i guess i thought if your on test and slin you could train harder and longer and get more results? i went from 15 1/2 arms to 17 in about 3 weeks, got about a month more to go

 

[MR.C]

I do 45min to one hour lifting and then cardio as needed for what im trying to do. 3 hours is over training for me.

You gained an inch and a half on your arms in 3 weeks? Wow.

I think I'm not the only one here that wants you to post pics...so you think you could hop on that?

accidently put this in the wrong thread at first,


are these workout shedules of yalls on and off gear the same, and is everyone here really only get about one hour workouts in even on serious stacking, i guess im just surprised by the duration of the workout, and it is stictly because after about one hour cortisol starts to hit the muscle regardless of everything being used, guess i always had a vison of pro bodybuilders workout being atleast 2 hours up to 3 maybe, anyhting over 3 is defently redunkulous imo. well in the past for about 2 months on my original workout shedule i was taking about 1500 g test, 500 tren, 500 deca, suspesnion ed, 25 to 35 units of slin humalog and humilin r mixed, 3x 25 mcg t3 a day, epo, dbol and a bombs, metfor and the other two insulin senst that are ridiculous to spell, 100 mcg igf post workout, differ doses of grhp, mgf, cjc, taking a few vet injects like multi min/vit, atp, and few other performance enhancers i forgot the names of right now, all sythetek products, couple hundred atleast into all known supps, i feel like im forgetin some stuff cause i know take alot of stuff, oh and take everything avial for pct, gona throw in later on some dht based roid

slow down turbo your goin to run out of fuel buddy. someone your age should back away from all that stuff because you can still grow naturally until 28 or 30 or until you peak before that. Once you peak and your at your max bodyweight with a reasonable amount of body fat and cant get any stronger and cant get any more size with out putting on fat then consider the other path. thats so much stuff for being so young you might not ever reach peak growth cause your overloading your receptors for sure not to mention your liver

 

[OuchThatHurts]

45min - 1 hour here, sometimes 30min twice a day if you can do two. I've started doing twice a day more often these days 4 days a week.

 

[bulk]

if you hit 2x 30 min a day, is that the same muscle groups, or same upper or lowere body lifts, do ya do two post workout shakes then, this is a new protocol for me to hear now, how do you shedule this throught the week

I wouldn't get too wrapped up in post workout shakes. It's cool to maybe drink some gatorade with a scoop of whey or something but food is better but yeah, I usually get a high protein/carb meal or a drink with protein and carbs after a workout. I'll hit the first part of the group, then I usually go to work or do whatever and then hit the other part of the group later. Like hitting chest hard in the morning and then hitting triceps four or five hours later. I started it because of time constraints but now I actually like it better.
