Ideal amount of lifts a week ?

[marveljohn]

I wanted to know how many days a week should we be lifting ? I dont want to overtrain, before i would train twice a day 7 days a week and totally burned out. I want to find the perfect balance for my lifting routine.

It is going to vary individual to individual based on the way you train, your age, your goals, etc. I train 6 days a week, however only three of them are heavy and high intensity.

Do this. Train 3 days a week. See if it works.

this question can be debated forever.

it boils down to too many factors. 3-4 times a week is going to be PLENTY for 99% of people out there doing most workout programs. having said that i like to do some physical activity daily, doesn't have to be the gym which will get tiresome day after day

No way to answer that without knowing your volume, frequency, intensity, etc
