Thread: Work out time?

I never train longer than one hour, anyone that trains for 2+ hours is either heavily juicing or just plain stupid.

basically the same thing in my opinion
i usually take an hour to hour 15 including warmup and cool down
going any longer means a) i'm trying to do to much, or b) i'm taking to long between lifts( ie being lazy or a bit too social)

Ok cool. Thanks for both of your posts.

my total lifting time is about 50 min to an hour (from first lift to last struggling lift), i used to have a problem with overtraining, not because i really thought i could get a lot better results, but it just felt so dang good i didn't really want to stop, but i have since learned to just go even harder but for a shorter length of time

I did my entire calf and chest workout in about 35 minutes today.

i find alot of my workouts dont take much over 30-45

I went to the gym this morning to do the first half of back. saw some regulars in the back already on chest. I did a fifteen minute warm-up on the treadmill then my back workout then 30 minutes on the treadmill. when I left they were STILL training chest ! lol

some people just don't get it...

I see the "bench press posse" doing bench 3 times a week.

at least they were probably on a different machine, like when you see guys on the bench press for like an hour and 15 minutes
it can be even worse then that, two days ago i saw i guy on his cell phone when i did my first set of pullups, and when my last rep of dips was over, approx. 53 minutes later, he was sitting in the same spot with his cell phone, (i just wanted to go up to him and say "dude, get out of my gym") lucky for me he was sitting at one of the smith machines the entire time so he wasn't in my way

I'm usually done in an hour also.

Whether I have accomplished everything I wanted in that time or not, my body says stop!

I once told a guy at my work that he overtrained. He wouldn't listen. I said, hey ask any trainer in town, any of them, working out everyday of the week is too much.
I think I offended him, cause he said he was gonna keep doin it.
I just shrugged my shoulders.

I just go balls out for 35 minutes to 50 at the most depending on what I'm working. While doing arms sometimes I'll hit triceps, sit down have shake, then hit triceps if I feel the workout is getting to long.

My workouts are 45 minutes to 60 minutes in length. If I'm not done at say the 70 minute mark, I stop anyway.

Mine are 45-60 minutes tops as well. Of course, sometimes there's the annoying guy curling in the squat rack or doing 1000 sets on the bench so I have to wait a while making my time at the gym a bit longer...
