How many days/week do you work out?

[EXCESS]

Just wanted to know...

[Full Intensity]

depends on how lazy i am that week. If i am lazy then 5 times, if not 6

[EXCESS]

Good answer! My lazy week is usually 3 days (but extra hard on the days that I work out).

[BigWill]

Weight lifting 5 days per week
Cardio 6-7 days per week (depending on fishing/hunting sched)

[Tobey]

Good answer Full Intense, I got a chuckle out of that on. I presently workout 5 days a week. I get my children every other weekend so I useually skip the Sat workout when I have them. It's useually just a fun day anyway, the day I go into the gym and workout whatever needs it the most, no plans, just go to the gym and lift. God I love those days more than any other. It can put a weekly change in the routine that I look forward to throughout the week.

Tobey

[Billy Boy]

Mentally I,m always lifting !!

Physically 3-4 times a week Cardio when I,m feeling FAT (I know its shameful but I have no planned cv really)

Martial Arts 1-2 a week swimming once a week cycling around 60 miles a week.And having a small child running around every weekend is the best cardio you could ever do Right Tobey??? LOL

[Tobey]

Heck Billy,
Why do you think I had to take up jogging as a hobbie?
Dam, My stamina just ain't what it use to be .If I could bottle up a third of Joshua and Tabatha's energy,(my kids) I could make a fortune selling the stuff.

[Billy Boy]

You know what Tobey I can never understand for what little they eat where do they get the energy from??

Its like they run around all day and literally drop where they are to sleep without any warning!!.......cool wish I could still do that!

[bad brains]

[bigjohnstud]

Yo Pump, what's cardio?

[PaPaPumP]

When you invite a female over for some wrestling. I think I'm gonna do some 'cardio' tonight. 30-45 minutes.

[G Child]

Damn, 30-45 min? My cardio sessions only last about 2 minutes! hehehe

[PaPaPumP]

2 minutes if you are alone...



Shit this is getting OFF TOPIC! We're gonna get busted, let's stop before Excess get's mad and Arthur busts out his off topic patrol...

[G Child]

But what ever do you mean? Cardio is definately part of working out! hehe, fine, back to topic.............NEXT!

[atwa]

5 on 2 off

[dumbells101]

If I had the sleep time I'd train even more than 5 dpw.

[Mighty Joe]

4 days now.....But I have to say....I've had some good results with a 3 day routine though! Especially whebn going ultra heavy

[THE BIG RED MACHINE]

I agree with the 4-day routine for gaining that extra mass and strength required to push you through. I don't usually add any more than that unless its time to start walking around without a shirt. Then I might stick some form of cardio in there. I used to workout 5-6 days a week, but after a while I found that I wasn't getting any stronger, just more worn out. I also thought that it played havoc on my immune system. I was always catching colds and such. Although that could probably have been remedied with a change in diet and extra sleep. When I'm on any type of gear though, it’s a different story. It seems like I could work out 7 days a week and keep growing.

It doesn't mean I’m going to though. Heh, heh

[ironmike7000]

I train 4 days a week usually Sunday being chest and tris.Then on tuesday I hit legs only . On thursday I do delts and bis. I finish up my back and traps on friday. I will do my abs twice a week but on what day that varys.

[T-NUTZ]

6 days/wk. Sunday off.

[acuraman]

I lift 4 days a week and do cardio 2-3 times a week on it's own day so not to impact my lifting days.

[askingforit]

4 days. I'd like to do only 3 but....my right shoulder is pretty fucked up, so I work my shoulder/s out on it's own day so they get the special attention they (the right one) need.

[K Dog]

6 days a week here. I try to focus on 1 bodypart per day and go as heavy as I can.

[Nathan]

I lift 5 times/week but am in every day if you include cardio.

[GhostFace]

Yeah, 3 times for me in general per week. I would love to train at least 4-5 times per week, but as a natural- "don´t wanna take AAS"- guy that amount of training days, takes not only a lot of time but also a lot of supplements, and those costs a lot o´money over here.

And money is not one of the things I have plenty of right now...


But, on a good week I train 4 times.
On a less good week, I lower myself to a pathetic 2 times/week...

[T-101]

I used to train 4 days/week, then 3/week and now just 2/week

[Hoopwxf]

5 times a week, 2 on 1 off, weight training. Training each bodypart twice in a 9 day block. Martial arts 4 times a week.

[Core]

3 times, mon-wed-fri

Everything gets hit each day, 2 REAL hours in the gym. I found this works best for me. I get a good rest and my strenght is always up.

[tie]

Well, for me the ideal is five times a week.

I travel quite alot with work though, so I'm trying to incorporate early morning workouts....really early, like 5.30!! God, it's hard to motivate yourself at that time of the morning/ night! What's the prefered workout time for the rest of you, and have you got any tips to motivate an sleepy early starter?

[DevilsDeity]

I like to do 3 days a week instead of 4 but i like being in the gym too much to cut a day out

[edraven29]

this may sound weird to you guys but i train 2 times a week total body workout doing only basic movements.

Bench press
dips
military press
chin ups
rows
squats
ez curls

all that for 2 sets taken to failure is all i need, then i take 3-4 days off and i hit the gym again.

My shape has changed and i got a lot stronger.

I didnt lose any size in fact i gain some.

And all that training takes me about 40 minutes to complete.

[Mr. Trenton]

I usually work out 5 days, but since I'm entering a show in June, I'm starting to go like 7 days to get in some of the cardio I was too tired to do during the week, and because to stop myself from going out and drinking, I'll go to the gym instead.

[DirkDiggs]

I use to lift 4 days push pull/routine...5 days a week now i use an extra day to lift arms

[hewy]

i get six workouts in 80% of the time but i never drop below four workouts for a week. i try and fish on saturdays

[mishon1]

i usaully hit up the weights about 6 times a week unless i go hit. if i hit i dont lift dont want to burn any extra cal.
