How long is your average workout?

[Tuggy]

I'm almost always exactly 1 hour 15 minutes. I would probably be a little quicker, but my wife is my workout partner so we do alot of plate changing.

[mass junkie]

hardly ever more than an hour.

[kstone6tb]

Maybe I missed it, but who knows for sure if cardio on your lifting days is worse, or if running on your off days is worse considering recovery?

[WoodChuck]

1. Arrive @ gym 6:00pm
2. Finish saying hello to everyone I know 6:10
3. Weights 6:15-8:15 (with intensity, ignore everyone else including training parnters - have headphones on with death metal playing)
4. 8:15 Pop some hydrocodones
5. Mingle with hot girls who are friends with the hot female trainers 8:15-8:30
6. Do light cardio next to hot girls and talk to them 8:30-9:30
7. Hot girls asks if you compete or model anything
8. Ask for phone number
9. Go home, have a protein shake, eat oatmeal, jerk off and call hot girls.
10. Tell girl(s) you're too tired to do anything that night and go to bed.

repeat the next day.

i have the same problem with socialization ..i remember from 1 week when i was doing deadlifts a 160lbs guy come and told me that i souldnot do deads coz i will hurt my back...and their is this gay old man that always try to have a convertation with me...however my workout vary from 40 min to 1.5 hour i depend on the worked muscles back and legs

[plano/man]

almost 2 hours per day. if test level drops , hell just shoot more t200 or t250 or t400

[TheHillsHaveEyes13]

Usually no more than 30-45 minutes.

[J-Dogg]

I like my set up it works pretty well for me so far.

I lift 4 days a week for normally about an hour. I have certain lifts I like and certain muscles i like to work more than others do and also weakness i'm forced to work more than others.

I have awesome biceps and weak ass tri's so i always spend a bit more time on my tri's.

I've always loved to work my chest and shoulders so normally i spend more time working them.

I do cardo 4 times a week, in the AM and lift in the afternoon hours.

I have though about changing my leg work out to Monday and then doing cardo Fri-Sun that way my legs won't be sore when I’m trying to jog, feels like I’m jogging on tree stumps.

Sometimes though I do feel lazy, because I’m only lifting 4-6 hours a week and taking in 4000+ calories. But I guess that’s the best thing to do, just don't seem right sometimes.

[CarbonCopy]

How many hours in the gym.. Hmm I'd say about 40-60 mins on avg. I like to jump rope then sprints then hit the weights. Oh and I hate when people stand around and bs!! I am at the gym to get faster, stronger, better.. Not talk about who did what and when.. I am all business in the gym!

[Bodymax]

About 1 hour.

[Black Stang]

It takes me about 1 - 1.5 HR in the gym counting cardio. I work out alone now though, and find it is a better work out. If I need a spotter, I get one. I used to have 2 work out parters. It was cool to hang out, but it got to be just that. Hanging out talking sports. Lost focus. It used to take almost 3 hours that way. I try to keep it moving nowdays.

[bex]

45 mins 4 times a week..HIT HARD AND LET IT GROW...

[senor_gato]

10 minute jog and about 45 minutes to an hour doing weights.

[Shredz]

1 hour to 1.5 hours..not a minute longer..i do my talking outside the gym

Go hard or go home

[toolegit]

An hour and fifteen to an hour and half is about max for me. Anything more than that and I feel like I am just wasting my time.

[dino2]

I always try to workout 30 to 60 min.

[ironmike7000]

Training time depends on alot of things. If your juicing. then go for it. You can train alot longer when juicing then you can when your not. If your training naturally,then I would say,keep your workouts to 45mins. to 1 hr.But remember one thing,you can still train just as intensly naturally as you can juicing. Just keep it short and to the point

[Canes4Ever]

I usually lift for 50 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes, 4 times a week, and then do cardio for 25 minutes 3 times a week. (no cardio on leg day)

[acuraman]

My workouts vary between 45 minutes to 70minutes never any longer than that.

[Socio]

Personally im not too concerned with training time , ihave to be different from everyone here I train each set and rep with full intensity and sometimes need a little longer rest between sets depending on many factrs including How much carbs ive had that day, how much sleep ive had, how many no doz (caffiene tabs) ive had (lol), stress levels , if i worked that day etc.
So i dont like to try another set unless im ready to give it my all and as you guys know squats , deads and heavy benches takes some mental preperation first im not going ot leave the gym till ive finished my work out so i normally train for 1-1.5 hrs i dont look at the clock to be honest then i do my 20mins cardio .....
so almost 2 hrs in the gym for (besides im ALWAYS waiting for the smith machine)
Funilly enough i can never get a bench when i need one but i can always go straight to the squat rack on leg day and its always free lol!

[mopar_13]

It takes me about 1 to 1 1/2 hours in the gym with two other people. were done before people who are in there already. We train hard, It seems evreyone now a days use the gym more for a hangout then a gym.

Many times I am in and out before most of the people already there at the gym when I arrive have finished. I know of 3 or 4 guys who use the gym more to hide out after work from their wives and kids, than to workout.

[GhostFace]

45-60 minutes...after that all the energy seems to be have gone lost into my work out.

I can´t understand how people can last 1 hr or more in the gym?? Do u guys/gals actually work out or chat with friends in between the sets?

[Core]

2 hours - 3 days a week - 1/2 on the bench, 15 bi, 15 tri, 15 back, 20 legs, 20 abs


I've tried several routines for a long time and this works best for me. I've been doing this routine for a while and I'm very happy with the results. I've had several people in the gym start following my routine because they were impressed with the results.

[G-S]

For awhile I was only able to work out 3 days per week, so I was doing 2 bodyparts per day... Back/Bi's, Chest/Tri's, and Legs/Shoulders...

Any given day I would be in the gym for close to 2 hours. Now that I have split it up, I can be in and out in 45min to 55min, depending on what bodypart I am training.

[DirkDiggs]

Depends what I am lifting but on avg. 1.5 hours-2hrs

[lethalppl]

i workout 1 hour to 1 1/2. I have rule at the gym this is only place that ucan not think about women that means look even. So i do no bullshitting all lifting. I do workout with a partner so it not me just lifting for 1.5 hour. I hate when this friend i know from the bars come up to me and try to talk to me and will not leave so some time i jsut walk off and get on a new machine and he ussually gets the hint. Ohh ya i workout cardio in the morning so that about 30 mins now. 15 min fast walking, 15 min bike

[chris245]

on average

about 45-65 minutes

depends what muscle group im working

[Big Show 23]

I workout for about 30-45 minutes depending on the day. I follow the philosophy of "Hit It Hard and Hit It Fast"

[justme]

I include cardio in my work out 30-45 minutes on a weight day and 1 hour on a day when don't do any weights.

the weight portions of my work out is about 45 minutes to an hour.

[THEGAME187]

When i am in a rush i always get my best pumps in about 40 min or so, On back day im there for atleast an 1hr and 15 cause there is many elements i think that should be hit!

[03733+$]

I stay in the gym about two hours a day!

and could stay longer!

[The Baron]

Right now I train every day, 7 part split. Workouts are always under a half hour. Sometimes I train at work, sometimes at home. I never go to a gym anymore. Too many bozos, and ya gotta pay. Plus you gotta wear clothes. I hate that. And most gyms aren't 24 hours. My living room / gym is.

MO abs (15 minutes tops)
TU delts and traps with some tri-sets some times.
WE upper back
TH chest
FR thighs, glutes, lower back(sometimes this one goes slightly over the half hour)
SA forearms and calves
SU upper arms, supersetting.

If I go back to a more normal 3 part split, my sessions will probably be close to an hour. As it is now, it would suck to spend longer walking to the gym than being in the gym. I just like training alone, and I enjoy short sessions.

This is the pole that never dies. Every new member will vote and it will continue for EVER!

[Lady Viking]

10-20 minutes warm-up and about an hour lifting

[bizznach]

where is the 4 hour box????

[sav22]

45-60 min....no more, no less...you have to have a plan of attack and go to town once you walk in those doors.

[Little Jonah]

45 min to 1 hour works great for me . I go crazy intense

[Nathan5252]

depending on what body part anywhere in between 1 and 2 1/2 hours ill spend there

[BLOOD]

I never pay attention to how long my workout takes me, it finishes when it finishes by it's probably within an hour time frame.
