How long are you in the gym for?

[buck]

Down to 4 days a week. The least i have ever trained. 70-90 minutes of lifting. Aerobics are done elsewhere. Can't bring my self to get on an aerobics machine unless the rain outside is horrendous.

 

[KyleSmith1985]

1.5 to 3 hours.

60-90 minutes are the actual hard lifting. The rest is cardio,warmup, mobility, sauna.

I’m both lucky and grateful my home gym is filled with national level NPC competitors

Guys chasing the pro card dream

It’s an interesting culture

Because the guys who are not competitive still are in that circle of fire

You get and do the fist bumps, everyone is there to train and do their shit, get their shit done

And everybody knows that everybody else is there to get their shit done

The training is #1

But naturally everyone knows when it is ok and time to chat and bullshit and talk hardcore brother to hardcore sister etc

It’s an amazing phenomenon of a bubble

I could not imagine my life without the experience of the gym “bubble” that I live in

So thankful for it

Never over an hour except legs take more rest between sets to recover and more volume to grow. Most other body parts are 30-45 min. But I train 7 days a week and do not belong overtraining even exists if it does I’m exempt from it or no one else is trying hard enough and have excuses to not be in there everyday. I’m in there on Christmas Eve abd every other holiday because enjoy it far more than fucking gay ass Eddie days to eat like shit get wasted and bicker with all the fucks you never see for a plethora of reasons lol

If people can fit it in I think it is a very good way to train.

I usually put smaller muscle groups in for the PM workout. Today AM was Chest and tris and PM is medial delts (I can only do laterals cause shoulder fucked), calves.

You do get some odd looks from the gym staff though "Back again" Har har har...."Yeah fucker, back again".

haha, i can imagine that
yeah, i really like it too. I usually rotate what i train in the AM and in the PM.
usually, i am a bit stronger in the AM although i have more food in for the PM session.
Probably because in the AM i take get some caffeine while i dont do that in the PM session.

 

[Johntanxx]

Excluding the warm-up, my training usually lasts 1.5 to a maximum of 2 hours.

 

[sgtedrobinson]

2.5-3 hours

 

[b-boy]

Training is 45m MAX
then 30-40 min easy treadmill walk
But then again I could give two fucks about all this anymore

Gym 3 days a week (Mon. Wed. Fri.)

 

[dantes]

Probably about an hour and 15 mins altogether. 5 days per week. I would probably take longer if I could but I have to get home to get my kid ready for the day and then start work. I have to be very focused though and it doesn’t leave much time to socialize. I could go even earlier but I already wake up at 4am

 

[kodiak6]

Anywhere from 75-90 minutes usually

 

[Bleed]

Actual gym time is 70 - 90ish minutes. 3 days a week, whatever days happen to work which seems to change every week. This includes stretching. Ive made a few "gym friends" over the last few years. I just remembered one of the guys names which indicates just how often I talk to anyone. Good guy btw but im not there to socialize, I just go in, do it, and leave. I only socialize at work because it's normal and people expect it. All good people btw but I just know how I want to be spending my time and small talk isnt my thing.

I try to spend as little time in the gym as possible. Not because I hate it, but because my workouts are always better when I streamline everything as efficiently as possible and theres zero reason to spend more time in there that I could be using elsewhere more productively.

I do all cardio at home 7 days a week. I'll skip a day here or there but cardio is consistent as the first thing in the morning I do. I cant imagine waking up and not immediately moving. It's great. Id be in the gym for over two hours otherwise and I would hate it.

A lot of guy seem to be in their zen zone for 3 hours and love it. Theres no wrong way to do it.

 

[Thebiggestdumbass]

My muscles become unresponsive after 4 sets.

Even if you change movements? I’m good for 2-3 sets to failure on a single movement before it stops feeling effective. Switch movements and I’m g2g

 

[kastro]

Full body 4 days a week 1 1/2 hours max.Im 53 so no more log book just pumping sets and controlled reps.Feel great at my age no more joint pain.

 

[R3aper7]

1.5-2.5 hrs normally

Probably about an hour and 15 mins altogether. 5 days per week. I would probably take longer if I could but I have to get home to get my kid ready for the day and then start work.

i feel you man, I start very early as well and go right from the gym to the job site. Sleep is certainly insufficient at about 5-6 hours daily but with kids and life early mornings are the most realistic time I can train.

Wake 3am
Eat 3:30am
Leave for gym 4am
Arrive at gym 445
Out the door by 630-6:45
Arrive work 6:45-7

 

[Karađorđe]

Maybe I am a bad example fitness wise, but I take 10 minutes to warm up to a set of incline smith bench. ... So yeah

When I was early 20’s and significantly stronger than I am now…, i could work up to a top set with BS, half-effort warm up sets of one plate then two plates.

Now i work up to 142 kgs in like 10 minutes lol. I’d tear a pec if i did two warm up sets these days

 

[aDw32]

1.5-2.5 hrs normally

And still we can hear from professionals about "suffering" lol

 

[Hyperemia]

90 mins. Weights usually end up around an hr give or take. Cardio is about a half hr taking place before or after, almost never at the gym. Usually at home or outside if weather is permitting.

 

[bigzzz]

Bro split 5 days per week.

Around 60 minutes per bodypart, legs maybe a bit more.

 

[iron lifter]

30-45 mins daily.

 

[madcap71]

Around 90 mins for me. I like to train fasted, in the morning, so need to be gone by a certain time otherwise I won't make it to my desk in time to start work (I work from home)
