how many times a week do you train?

[Debaser]

Actually Jkurz I'd love to do that...

I wasn't trying to insult you with my post either I was just trying to get some insight.

I don't believe he would cut corners disciple, he's been in the game for awhile it seems, I don't think dedication would be his problem

I train 3 days a week with weights, and 2 days a week with yoga and cardio.

 

[Cuthbert]

4x/week

3 powerlifting workouts and one ME Lower/strongman event day.

I lift three times a week. (But I also go to the gym to do other things...like yoga/pilates, cardio, or to climb the treadwall, which is more fun than a barrel of monkeys, btw...)

I train t,w,th in the am and cardio in the pm...then I do cardio f am and train legs (cant fathom legs in the morning) fri afternoon.....sat am is a spinning class, sat. aft. is training.......sunday is training am only and walk the pooch in the pm......trust me, thats nothing...walking beast trains 4 hours a day............

Only on my short days!! Once I get recovered again, Ill be back to my old ways. Cant wait!! Because of my long sessions, I was only training 4 days a week, sometimes 5. Keep in mind my flat benching and rack lockout day (thursday) was 4-6 hours, Incline bench and speed bench day (sunday) around 4 hours, Deadlifting and rowing day (monday) was 6-8 hours, Triceps and Biceps day (friday) was 3 hours, not to mention accessory work for abs,rear delts and shoulders. For shoulders Id throw in some lateral raises on incline day. It takes alot of abuse for me to even think about getting sore. I may throw light legs in also when I come back training full, and do less deadlifting for a while, to give my back a rest. I definately dont follow any conventions, but it was working quite well for me. Reading all this shit is inspiring me to get back in and KILL that shit. TRAIN OR FUCKIN DIE!!!!

Debaser..........its the only way Ive ever done it........lets let bigons be......you set me up with a new plan of attack, I'll try it for at least 8 weeks....if it works, I'll NEVER shun from your reccommendations again and give you the props you deserve.........deal?

I also have never trained any other way then High volume/ High intensity. Something most people cant seem to get through. It may not be optimal. Really I cant say Ive tested it well enough to make those conclusions. The one conclusion I can make is it has gotten me this far. Also, Id be miserable and violent if I didnt tear myself apart in this manner. So I think it is a necessary vent, aside from a path to my goals. My view on lifting is, Im willing to train with weights and intensity that can kill me, and if I succeed I will come out stronger. If not Im better off dead. I have failed. Its critical to my stability aside from my faith. Still, I cant see less work in the gym giving me more gain. With this back injury for example, ive been doing less work and shrinking because of it! Hammer Strength machines just dont do it for me. Maybe if I was pumped full of hormones, but havent taken that road yet. Would like to hit 19-20" arms, 50" chest atleast naturally. Only a few inches away, and my triceps are shit, so I figure it can be done.

TRAIN OR FUCKIN DIE!!!!

I like the motto, "TRAIN, FUCK, or DIE!!!"

 

[needsize]

For years it was 4 days a week, 5 months ago switched to Yates's 2 on 1 off, so 5 days a week, but with less volume, and am very happy with it

 

[sconoscuito]

so you guys would say it would work if I only worked out 3 times a week and do like swimming and sports like soccer or basketball on the other days

cause I need my quickness and mobility
