How much time do you spend in the gym?

30-60 mins max, if no cardio. Anything more is a waste of time. My neighbor is there for 2+ hrs, with no cardio. He's a fuckin chatty Cathy tho. Spends more time workin his jaw muscles, then the rest. Fuckers in killer shape tho. Especially for 48 yrs old.

The time someone spends weight training in the gym usually depends on your goals.

If you are training to build sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (mass/size) then that is going to take less time. In order to build size you need to train to failure. The best way to completely fatigue is to drastically shorten rest. Therefore shortening workout time.

If you are training for myofibrillar hypertrophy (strength or hardening) then that is going to take longer. The best way to gain strength is to never fail a heavy lift. Absolutely no fatigue. Takes a lot of rest time. Therefore these workouts take a little longer.

Just my 2 cents.

2 hrs everyday

Sometimes an hr and a half

Gotta account for all that talking time we all inevitable do

I used to do about 90 minutes 5 days per week, but a year ago I switched to just 3 days per week and 45 minutes per session with much higher intensity as part of DC training, and I've never grown more in a year than this last year.

Recovery is more important than anything for growth, and sometimes less can be more. You grow while resting and in the kitchen, not in the gym

I did DC training for a few years and got really strong and grew like a weed. Then when an ex and I split, I had way to much time on my hands. About a year ago or so i decided to switch to a medium volume 4 day split. Fuck! I had no muscle endurance whatsoever. It's come back pretty good now. Most body parts I'll do 2-3 exercises for a total of 4-9 working sets, with about 60 secs between sets.

DC was great, but I missed being at the gym more. I found a good balance now I think.

60-90 mins push pull leg routine I do 4-5 sets 6-12 reps 4 lifts per muscle group. Normally 3 compounds and 1 isolation or 2 and 2.
