    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    Re: How long is your average workout?

    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)

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
