How many days do you train?

[catabolic kid]

^^^^^This was supposed to be a poll, but that function is not working on my computer for some reason.

[Mike Dura]

I train twice a day seven days a week. If I feel tired, Ill take off. Once a month probably.

[GunTotingHipGangster]

4 days a week weights...only 1 cardio, but thats all i need right now

[Grappler13]

I've got my workout spread into 5 different days and try to rotate them around so every 5th week I do the same twice in teh same weeks. Sometimes, I'll double a day or two and take two or three days off and eat and sleep.

[Power40]

I work out 4 to 5 days a week. I think I would be overtraining if I workout more than that every week.

[chest6]

4 day split right now
Monday-chest/tris
Tuesday-Back/bis
Wed-off
Thurs-shoulders
Friday-legs

thats it for me now. I may change my routine structure in a few months. I will experiment with back tuesday and an arm day Friday and I will also experiment with training arms twice a week.

[S.P.G]

3 day week for me at the moment.....

[Flexor]

Currently doing:

Monday: upper back, biceps

Tuesday: high intensity leg cardio

Wednesday: chest, triceps, shoulders

Thursday: rest

Friday: thighs , lower back

So three days, including one hard cardio session on tuesday which is not weights but works my legs hard nevertheless.

I did this training for a show and it worked wonders. Then kept it up throughout the enitre year and am now paying the price. Lost wayyy to much friggn weight/muscle. It's hard as hell changing your diet and training to do cardio 1x week rather than 7. Bulking harder than ever.

I am cutting right now so this works great for me.. Yes if you are trying to bulk it is way to much cardio and once I meet my goal and go to Bulk I will hang up my walking shoes for while.

I can imagine it is hard to witch up to only doing one day of cardio, if I miss One day I feel like I am slacking.

[Alex2]

6 days work out + 3 days cardio

[Doc.Sust]

3-4days i find less volume high intensity works the best and you don't over train

[chest6]

well it varies, but here's my split

day 1 - chest/tris
day 2 - back/bis
day 3 - legs/abs
day 4 - shoulders/traps
day 5 - rest

i try do to cardio at least two times a week somewhere in there.

surprised you havent collapsed yet

[spound]

3-4days i find less volume high intensity works the best and you don't over train

Couldn't agree more. I was always a volume guy myself and thought there is no way I could make gains training jsut 3 days a week. Well, I decided to try it out and holy shit the gains have never been better. Its like I am a noob again. You never realize how easily you can overtrain until you go to 3 days/week and think wow, i feel great. Notice all the guys on here who say "my gains are going great" etc are the 3 days/wk guys

Check out Pinnacle's sticky in this forum and scroll down to any of those 3 day /wk routines, they are all great..especially Iron Man HIT

[K.Biz]

5 days a week, no cardio, im such a hard gainer that if i do any type of cardio during bulking, ill drop pounds like its my job, but least to say i can cut in like 3 weeks haha

mon- chest, tris
tues- all wheels
weds-off
thursday- shoulders-possibly incline chest (weak point)
friday-back, bies

[spound]

You guys doing cardio on off days, you do it the PM? What's your style? Treadmill?

When bulking I jsut do it 1-2 times per week, on off days in the PM on an elliptical with a heart rate of about 140 BPM

[XxElitexX]

weights 4 days a week, cardio 3x's a week

[UberSteroids]

Mon-Fri heavy weights
Sat- Punching bag
Sun- All muscle groups with light weights( warm-up for upcomming week )

[SnaX]

lately i've been finding that when i rest longer days, that i'm sore when i go back and I get bigger and stronger. I'de hate to say that i've overtrained all these years.

i think i'll cut down to 3-4 days a week only now.
