How much time do you spend in the gym?

[Typo]

45-1HOUR tops. Hit it hard and intence, to much time at the gym is no good.

I laugh at the ppl who are already there when i get there and still there when i leave. And the best part is, is that they always look the same year after year with no accomplishments.

I agree with all of this and I also laugh at them people

I may be completely noob, but what's been increasing my strength and helping drop my bf% is upper body (chest,tri,bi,back- some shoulders) Mon,we,Fri.. Legs (squats,deadlifts, hams,calfs,abs) tues,thurs,sat. Ill do for instance on upper body days, 3 sets, almost always max reps to failure. 3 different lifts per body part. Now Im absolutly not.braging just looking for maybe some constructive criticism. i do 80lbs dumb..bench 25-30 reps. so in 5-7min ill hit 4 body parts with roughly same rep count. Overall my workout takes about 1 hour. So maybe i still am gaining strength for the workout/time frame but Idk now reading what everyone's splits are with time ect. Anyways help is appreciative! thanks

how long have you been working out like that?

I'm guessing you'll hit a wall at some point and you're goin everyday to keep it a routine and something for your mind

Well iv started the high reps to failure for 4 months with a 2 week break doing only 2 muscles groups a day 2x a week. Iv almost always done a Mon,wed,Fri workout of upperbody. Just iv always changed with different exercises and reps so iv never really platued or put myself into a routine... I guess Im looking to see if others have done my kinda workout but some maybe"medical, research" ect reason shows its not as effective as a 1-2 muscle a day 1-2 times a week...or even 2 on 1 offs iv seen.. do i make sense ??hah

1.5-2hours. 6-7 days a week. People say its overtraining but ive put on 40+pounds in not even a year of serious lifting! Overtraining is ALOT harder to do then people think it is

Exactly this too long in the gym is a bad idea

Seems like an unclear question though. Shouldn't the question be how much time do you spend training in the gym?

Someone may spend 45 minutes on the weights and leave. Someone else may spend 45 mins on the weights and another 45 in sauana, spa, shootin hoops, stretching, ligh cardio, chatting it up.

So really, both guys trained for the same amount of time but spent different total time in the gym, ya?

I use a full body routine 3 times a week. I need to take a lot more time in-between the big compound lifts i'm doing. Usually takes me 1.5 hrs to finish but i usually make sure i bring a gallon half water half apple juice with me and a SNICKERS.!

On back n bicep days - 90 minutes including 20 min of cardio

Leg day - 90 minutes that's quads, hams and calves

Chest, shoulders and tri's. - 90 minutes - 2 hours, including 20 min of cardio

i try to keep it inside 50 minutes but i usually go up to 1 hour. my rest period is 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

2 hour training sessions? thats crazy. dont you guys get tired? i usually have to leave the gym at the hour mark because im feeling so much fatigue. i do 4 excersizes per session but i usually find that by the third excersize im already feeling the fatigue.
