How many hours in the gym?

[GOLUAN]

everyone has to learn their own body and what it likes/needs! maybe thats what you need! but i seriously think that anything over an hour for weight training you are either overdoing it majorly, or you are going way too slow!

how many sets do you do per body part....must be like 25 or so

yeah, 20 to 25..Ill change it up. Lets say im doing chest. Ill do flat bench, incline decline. Then go to Dumbells and do flat, incline, decline. Then go do cable flys. Ill do about 12x4 on dumbells and flys. Its my drug! Then ill go and do Arms the same way.

When I'm in the gym with my fiancee', about an hour and 15 min. By myself, closer to 2 hours, I'm a fan of high volume like Lee Priest!

So you spend 3-4 hours doing the same exercises over and over? Flat Bar then Flat DB press? Thats redundant. What Could you possibly achieve by doing that? How do you know the first hour is the only time your muscles are actually stimulated, and everything after that is counterproductive? If anything, dont do flat, incline, and decline all over again. Do dips, pullovers, incline or decline flyes.

Something doesnt add up, if you do 8 exercises and do 20-25 sets, then your doing 2 sets per exercise and 3 sometimes? Why? I dont know what youre trying to achieve, but if its size, then youll never get it like that. And my guess is youre lifting very light becasue if youre putting an all out effort and lifting heavy, you'd be hurting by the 3rd exercise and couldnt go any further.

When I want size during a cycle, I use 80-85% of my max and do 3 sets of 4-2-1 and only do 2 exercises. And 45 second rest, no more. For conditioning, like im doing now, it's 12-10-8-6-12-12 supersets, 2 exercises but I still add weight. I never spend more than 45 min lifting.

Just trying to understand the angle. Intensity and efficiency is what works. Do you have a 49 inch chest and 21 inch guns? If so then Ill do what youre doing.

LOL!...no joke bro...im there from 12-3 sometimes 3:30.....My body can take it...so I do it. I love the feeling when i get done after a good 3 hours of working out...

Same way here, but usually only 2 or 3 hours w/o cardio

you must be a student of something....i don't have 4 extra hours in my day....hell im pushing it to have 1.5

10 hours of work including driving to and from and lunch break....8 hours sleep so there are 6 hours left....i have to get home and change and eat before the gym, 1 hour at least, so i would only have 1 hour to do anything else in my entire day if i worked out 4 hours!

Nope....i dont have 21" guns or a 49" chest.....I do dips, pullovers ..blah blah blah...im was just giving an example bro. I just dont do one body part a day. On chest days..I also do arms and calves...The exercise work great for my body...and i see great gains off what i do. Thats why I do it....my mass and strength increase when I work out this long. I dont lift to light...but yeah..sounds like your work out works out great for you....so does mine...
