2.5 hours
Including PWO stretching

>>35529405
45min to an hour.

>>35529405
~50 min

>>35529405
well normally 6 hrs but my bicep workout is 8 hrs.

Hypertrophy days: 45 mins
Strength days: 1 to 1.5 hours

>>35529409
>>35529434
>>35529441
No more than 1 1/2 hours unless your not natty. Learn to understand that less is more when it comes amount of lifts done and time lifting.

1:30-2hours

>>35529409
This boggles my mind. Wtf are you doing in 2.5hrs at the gym? You should have tired your muscles out after about an hour of weight lifting.

35-45 mins. Tops. 45 only happens if I'm bored and add in some bicep/tricep isolation exercises.

Gained 40lbs in about 11 months doing this. ~50% of it lean.

Bench went from 90x10-175lbsx10
ohp went from 65lbsx5 - 125x5
pendlay row from 85x5 - 165x5
pullups from 0x0 - 5 reps w/ 50 pounds added
deads from 200x3 - 300x3
squat from ~115x5 - 200x10 (not much legs due to serious knee problems over the last few year)

>>35529479
Fucking SS takes me 1.5 hours because my gym is so damn crowded. What am i supposed to do when i eventually move to higher volume?

>>35529498
Stop being a normie fag lifting at peak hours, then.

>>35529493
What's your program for pullups?

PPL and about 1 hour each workout

5'11 162 lbs
bench 3x5 190
squats 3x5 235
deads 1x5 285

An hour to 1:30 mins.

>>35529493
>pullups from 0x0 - 5 reps w/ 50 pounds added
pretty inspirational.

>>35529479

Fuck off. You try and stuff 6 different pulls at 5x10 @ 95% 10RM AND pull ups AND ab work in under 1.5 hours.

I'm natty as can be, don't even take creatine, and I feel fucking golden.

>>35529405
it varies

when i have time i can spend up to 3 hours. 90 min on strength training, 30 minutes on some met con/core shit, 60 min slow steady state cardio/foam roll/ stretch. Otherwise, 90 min tops. I honestly enjoy exercising.

>>35529513

It took me about 3 months to get 10 reps for 3 sets on pullups. After that I started doing weighted pullups, found the weight I could do 3x5 with and added 2.5lbs every session I hit 3x5. Every time I tried to add 5 or more pounds I'd stall out, so I've been consistently just adding 2.5lbs every workout.

Been doing like, Chest day, back day, off, chest day, back day, off. Would be doing chest, back, legs off but haven't been hitting those because of my knee surgeries.

About 1.5 hours, but I've gone as long as two if I'm really dragging ass that day. Leg days are shorter, and stretching adds about twenty minutes as well.

>>35529555
>Fuck off. You try and stuff 6 different pulls at 5x10 @ 95% 10RM AND pull ups AND ab work in under 1.5 hours.
Getting pretty defensive there, bud. Maybe you should tone down the volume... you'll make more gains.

>>35529479
If you lift for 1 hour and a half, then do half an hour of cardio, there's 2 hours that any natty can do.

depends. if i've done a few days in a row, i'll take a bit longer break between sets/exercises.

never longer than an hour tho

>>35529596
I think he means 1-1:30 of lifting not including cardio or stretching.

1:30 - 2:00

>>35529582
Oh and if I have time then I'll add in twenty to forty minutes of cardio. Usually I go for the rowing machine so it's not all legs.

>>35529591
I wish New Years Resolution DYELs would stop pretending like high volume is bad. You can do more than 3 3x5 compounds without isolation work, even if that's what you do.

>>35529405
Hr gym including stretching, and a half hour run. Or 1-2 hrs martial arts.

>>35529479
who are you racing against?

I'm not racing against anyone and I take 2 hrs..sometimes more.

>>35529654
That just means you're slow, and not exactly what I'm referring too.

>>35529405
usually about 2 hours, I take long breaks for my main lifts 5-7 mins and do 2 each workout for 5 working sets. Then I'm usaully so amped that I fuck around with a bunch of mid weight exercises

>>35529628
>You can do more than 3 3x5 compounds without isolation work
I never mentioned high volume in regards to compound lifts or isolation solely. I'm talking total volume which would include both.

usually around 2hrs on weedays. I like to get in a 3hr workout on saturday when im off work.

>>35529739
I was also referring to overall volume. Obviously there's a dropping off point, but more than ninety minutes isn't bad in the slightest. That's especially true since actual time taken and amount of volume done aren't the same thing. Sometimes I can knock out a workout in an hour if I feel really fresh, and other times I can take upward of two and a half hours if I'm hungover or sleeping like shit. The volume never changed, just the rest periods. Only fucking beginners think that because they can't handle that load yet.

>>35529405
About ~1 hour gym + ~1 hour swim. I'd say longer but that includes time stretching, walking in and out of the locker room, etc.

>>35529555
Is dat some 531 BBB there?

>>35529479
I rest min. 3 minutes between each set. Shit takes a while

About 2 hours after showering. Got a 10 minute walk there and back though as well, as well as changing when I get there and after shower

8 hours

How long do you guys rest between exercises? I hear a lot about the breaks between sets, but not between exercises.

1 1/2 to 2 hours.

I only have to do one working set of 3 to 6 reps :^)

Generally 1 1/2 hours.

It should be longer since you're really supposed to rest for 3-5mins between sets. I can't be bothered to wait that long or pace about the gym like some guys do. Supersets are broscience but I usually only give myself 30sec-1min rest between sets.

>>35529797

Pierce 10-5-3-Peak. Kind of similar periodization, but with the 10 rep conditioning phase and more exercise selection. This is actually my first cycle and I am loving it so far. We'll see how I feel in a few weeks, though.

>>35529493
>300x3 deadlift
>11 months

Top kek faggot I was at that in less than a month, get your test checked

>>35529790
>The volume never changed, just the rest periods.
So you are essentially repeating the same thing as me. What exactly are you disagreeing with me on? Being slow doesn't change anything as long as the volume remains the same.

>>35529920
>squat from ~115x5 - 200x10 (not much legs due to serious knee problems over the last few year)


Fuckin' dick. Had two knee surgeries. Probably had 2 months total leg training.

>>35529920
>implying everyone is the same
You were probably a fat fuck. Not OP but I started out at 120 lbs skelly and it took me at least a year and a half to even hit that. Stop using yourself as anecdotal evidence, it doesn't apply and no one cares.

>>35529920
post a pic faggot

30 minutes, not entirely accurate as I workout at home, and do sets throughout the day, but hte main workout 30 mins jut to get the compounds in, do little shit throughout the day. Do 10-15 mins of aerobic exercise on offdays. In pretty good shape, don't center my life around it like faggots here, because socially people already think I'm strong, and I'm not a faggot who cares about PR's in the gym. people lifting 400+ lbs is cool, but I suspect it's bad for joints in the long run.

>>35529405

a little over an hour but if I don't get much sleep it can stretch out to two. Even if you're tired go get that workout in or you will never make it.

>>35529994

This is your OP: >>35529479

>less is more when it comes amount of lifts fine and time lifting

This is true for a dyed in the wool beginner, MAYBE. For anyone else, high volume and greater exercise variety is just fucking fine, and both of these entail longer time spent in the gym.

>>35529409
>>35529434
>>35529476
>>35529561

I spend 24 hours at the gym and burn 8700kj while I'm there

>>35530156
I spend like 12 hours at the gym, but I'm homeless so I kinda live there. Was kinda hard finding a gym that actually had wifi.

>>35530112
>dyed in the wool beginner

Sounds like you have no idea what that phrase means.

Texas Method ~3 hours

>>35529405
75-ish minutes most days, but only about an hour for leg day.

>>35530024
>fat people can deadlift more

Proof bitch, /fit/ acts like every landwhale has the strength of a super heavy weight powerlifter.

>>35530260

You're an arrogant dyel that thinks he has an expert grasp on programming. What did you think I meant?

>>35529458
This
You're being inefficient if your workouts take longer than an hour

>>35529405
Hr thirty mins-2 hours

>>35529405

hour including my 5 min of cardio warmup

30-45 mins maybe an hour if I dick around for a bit.

Currently doing candito strength program and have made really good gains :)

hour and a half of lifting. About 2-3 minute breaks between compound sets (I do all of the big 4 every day in the program I'm doing now) and about a minute to 2 with isolation exercises

>>35529498
I feel your pain. My gym for winter break only has 1 power rack. That's it for barbells. Small town but I let other people work in so I feel like I'm not hogging it.

>>35529405
About an hour.

>>35530112
Keep adding volume and tell me how that works out for you.

1 1/2 hours, closer to 2 hours when i add my 15-20 mins cardio.

>>35530524
What is strength base, bigger base in general for lifting heavier weight, surplus calories galore to never hit a plateau as quick as a skelington.

~40 minutes. 4 or 5 lifts 3 sets each.

>>35530880
pretty much this

80 to 90 min

>gained 20lbs of lean muscle in 11 months

>>35530944
That's pretty good you autist. If you gained a lot more than that it'd just be fat (though he gained alot of fat too kek)

I go for 1 or 2 hours. On my long days I lift for an hour, though I usually only do 5-6 lifts and some brief core stuff (I like to take my time while I lift and my gym is always empty so I'm never competing for equipment), and then I fight or an hour.

On my short days I just fight for an hour, which consists of my warm up and stretch, and then a mix of bag work, focus pads, and sparring.

>>35530961

Yeah I gained a lot of fat. From what I've read 20-25 pounds is really good for natty in a year lol.


Pic related, last pic is to show how much I fill out the same shirt after about 40 pounds weight gain. And my back, I figure I'd look pretty good if I was lean. But I'm around 17-20% atm.

>>35530961
He's laughing because he's full of shit, he got fat. That's the most a noob can gain in a year, THE MOST. realistically probably gained nowhere near that much lean mass.

An hour, plus 15 minutes swimming and another 30 mins in the sauna/hot tub.

>>35531118

Nice t-shirt, so I'm guessing you were a cyclist then

Were you into it very much? And do you cycle anymore now?

>>35531276
Yeah. Was really into it, trying to get back into it after the last 13 months being plagued with knee a knee injury. Got surgery on both of them, just finishing up PT for the second one and I think that'll be it.

Honestly 2015 would've been a great year for me in terms of races but, whatever. Trying to slow-and-steady it with riding and hopefully go to my teams training camp this March.

You ride as well?

usually around an hour unless I want to do a lot of cardio.

>>35529458
Same here anon, there's no point in going past that. Something about acids and losing gains some body builder told me about

>>35529405
3 hours.
15 minutes stretching
15 minutes warm up
1 hour cardio
Hour and a half weight training.

About an hour and a half.
10 minutes stretching before workout
45min-hour lifting
About 5 minutes of alternating sprinting and walking
30 minutes post workout stretching and foam rolling

>>35531348

Yeah I cycle but I've never done it competitively. Did a couple of charity rides of 400 miles in 5 days, now I just cycle for commuting and fun but it would be cool to get more serious again

So you're going to get back into competitive cycling even though you look pretty big right now?

>>35529458
45min master race 4 days a week

>>35531681
Long distance multiple days in a row is always hard and fun lol

I love weightlifting and feeling strong doing every day shit, and the confidence you get from not being 140lbs skeleton. I also wanna hit 75lbs on pullups for reps before the training camp but not sure I'll see that happen lol, going to try to keep lifting until I either have to cut down more weight or it is misery when I'm riding a lot


Honestly though, there is something about riding that I love so much more than lifting, wanna go somewhere with it, but it's just a dream for now lol

>>35531746

It was hard at times but mostly fun, it was with my dad and my mate, through northern France in the summer, so beautiful weather (mostly), we did it two years in a row

That's cool, yeah obviously lifting is awesome (I did have a good routine the past couple years but have slacked off in the last six months... should probably get back to the gym), I just thought extra mass might pose a problem for cycling. But hey if you're planning to do it I should probably try it too - cycling and bulking. I am literally 140 lbs myself at the moment (64 kgs, so bang on)... do definitely wanna get a bit bigger than that.
