I am curious how many days a week each of you work's out.. I am almost positive that this thread was here before but I cant find it to bump it up.

:D:D
 
Four times a week, but since mondays only include shoulder movements and calves (For what I have a very good reason - so don't you go all laughs at me), you could take it down to three core days ..
 
Since i'm at school i go w/ my available time. Sometimes it's 2-3 times a week, and other times i'll go 4-5 days/week. It's always good to mix things up every now and then as well, so i just go w/ the flow, b/c whether i like it or not it's a mandatory switch of days going to gym.
 
5. Up to 7 when my schedule is sane. Getting even one more rep than the last time is the biggest boost of my day.
 
5 days a week
 
every day 7 days a week
2 a days monday and tuesday
cardio wed
2 a days thurs fri sat
cardio sun
and then start over - the body is a machine like no other on earth - to reach its full potential you must maximize what it can do for you.

Imagine if back in the day when cars were not around and you had to hunt your food if you sat there and someone said "hey man, lets not hunt today - we need one day to rest" muaaaa - not happening.
 
5 days a week. bodybuilding approach.
m - chest, t - shoulders, w - back, th - tri's, f - legs

3 X per week. With weights that is. I'm really active 6 days a week though at least.
 
Every other day with weights - that's 3.5 times a week, and then cardio every other day on the off days from weights...sometimes adding calf and ab work on the cardio days.

All up, everyday training with 2 or 3 days off a month.

you train tri's on their own day, but no bi's mentioned anywhere?


I lift 3 days a week, hitting each body part twice in 8 days.

also a bad idea to hit shoulders up after chest..
Click to expand...

I do shoulders right after chest.

But, I don't do 5 exercises and 4 sets of 8-12 reps per exercise.

I do one exercise of one working set which is rest-paused for 12-20 reps.
 
interesting read i found a while back, cant search for it but ill explain what it summarized.. you can do what your doing ceo, with the chest/shoulder day.. no problem with that... but if you train chest after a shoulder day, or shoulders after a chest day then that is a terrible idea.. Your shoulders really get sore 6-8 hours after your workout, so they need 24-48 hours of rest, but when doing them similatenously with another bp that incorporates shoulders (chest) then it's ok, because they dont begin to get sore until 6-8 hours after.. Ever notice, no matter, how hardcore you go with shoulders you wont feel sore after a workout, but sore the next day??
 
I don't have a chest/shoulder day. I have a chest, shoulders, triceps, back width, back thickness day, that I do twice in an 8 day period. I also have a biceps, forearms, calves, hams, quads day, that I also do twice in an 8 day period.

If I hit chest/shoulders on a monday, I don't hit them again until friday.

As for your article...I can find articles written in magazines of on the web to say just about anything. Doesn't make them right or wrong. I've trained a lot of different ways over the years. I've been training on this current program since November and I have gained over 10 lbs. My bodyfat level has stayed about the same too.

I think I'll keep doing it until it stops working. :)
 
i also have something similar like that..here is my split (6 days)

day 1 : bi's and tri's,abs
day 2 : Heavy Squats, abs, leg press, hams, calves
day 3: Back and traps
day 4: chest and tri's, abs
day 5: Bi's, Front squats, hack squats, calves, abs
day 6: Shoulders, abs

only 3-4 set of abs each day 20-30 reps, diet is lean and the 6 pack is there.. im also 10 pounds lighter then last year and a whole lot stronger too...
 
If I did my workouts 6 days a week I would die.

So you're hitting legs, bi's, tri's twice a week, but not chest, shoulders and back? How come?

Your split actually does not look similar to mine at all though. I workout only 3 times a week (M-W-F).
 
i consider them core lifts, and they need more time to fully recover for another good workout, plus its not like im lacking in any of those departments.. Front squats do not put as much stress on your cns as much as reg squats, so its ok to do them with enough of a rest period.. I also, switch it up once in a while to get those lifts in .. Rotate one in 2x and then rotate to another..
 
Currently doing a push/pull split, 4x a week. M T TH F Haven't been doing it long so I'm not sure how it's working for me, though. Cardio 4-5 days a week.

cns is the least of your worries. On a program such as yours, mental burnout from spending too much time in the gym should be more of a concern.

You say you lost 10 lbs in the year, so it's at least a good weight-loss program.
 
lol mental burnout? you relieve stress during workouts, so how will u burnout, and i think alot of bodybuilders have routines similar to that, where they hit cardio and bodyparts everyday :confused: my routine is actually quite similar to that one..
 
he was probably thinking the intensity was much higher than the 60-70% intensity that higher volume training requires. I say 60-70% intensity because there's no way you can do 15-20-30 sets per bodypart at an all out, balls to the wall intensity.

90% of gym-goers everywhere are doing some sort of volume training and besides the genetic freaks and heavy steroid users, every one of them stays about the same size year after year (unless they are brand new to training or new after a long layoff).

But hey, you find whatever works for you and meets your goals and do it. As long as you're happy! :)
 
I work out with weights 4 days a week. I try to do some sort of cardio every day. I am a Youth Pastor, so I study a lot, and do a lot on the computer. Running around and playing football or running on a tread-meal I need each day, because I am not the most active work wise.
 
Day 1 - Chest
Day 2- Back ( usually throw in a few sets of bi's for the hell of it )
Day 3- Shoulders
Day 4- Bi's and Tri's
Day 5- Legs
Day 6- rest

If my shoulders are tired from a chest w/o, I may throw in a leg press day instead to give my shoulders some extra rest
 
4-5
My recovery ability is about average, so I can't work 6 days a week without feeling like I'm breaking down and overtraining.
 
About 10 workouts a week. MT am lifting pm running/xfit/cals W pm long enduro RF am lifting pm running/xfit/cals sat long ruck/bike/run
 
I do 4 days on, 1 day off, 1 day on, 2 days off.. Lets me schedule my intensity and lets me get good rest for recovery.. I don't sleep too well during the week.
 
Currently on a 4day split of legs/chest/back/arms.

Will switch it back to 3day 5x5 once winter hits.
 
Used to work out 7 days a week but only one body part, Have droped
to 5.

Does anyone loose their intinsity at times, been dragging lately,
maybe overtraining a little
 
Currently doing a 4 day split. When i get back to strongman specific training it will be a 3day gym split with an event day on sunday that is about 5hrs.
 
I only train 3 times a week now thats including cardio and full body workout. I've tried 4 times a week but I always end up over-training, not sore but fatigue. It sucks but good thing AAS exist I would do 5x.
 
5 days a week. either 1 major or two minor muscle groups. Chest, Back, Hams/Quads, Bi's/Tri's, Shoulders/Calves/Traps. Not in that order =)

You can actually jump up from 3 x per week to 3.5 x per week by training eod. That's what I've done now thereby hitting a muscle group directly every 8 days.
 
5 days a week. Weights on monday, wednesday, and friday. Cardio on tuesday and thursday with sunday night hockey thrown in
 
12x a week for rowing training. 30km on the water at 5am, biking 25k to and from gym at night on M, W, F alternating upper and lower body, and biking 15km back to secondary rowing practice on water T, Th and Sat. Btwn 9000-11000 cals a day.
 
4 times not fixed days due to my job. sometimes is monday-wednesday-friday-saturday or tuesday thursday sunday saturday
