Thread: quick question for a friend

Depends on a lot of stuff, but the average is 3 days per week I think.

I'll say 2. You could even get away with 1 if you eat really well and make that 1 workout seriously intense.

if he did 2 a week how different would his workout be from say if he did 4 days a week?

would he do more per muscle group in the 2 days then the 4 four or keep it the same just more muscle groups worked each day ?

2 days with high volume ....but if he has time 3-4 will be better for him ....

but not more than 4

so at the min 2 but with more intensity and sets ?

yes ..but not 40 sets ...just for example 18 sets per workout including isolation and all stuff..

Volume does not need to be overly high with 2 FBW's per week. You still don't want to be in the gym for more than an hour.

but how can u do it that time frame ?

18 set x less than one minute each = 18 minutes maximum + 2min estimated maximum rest time interval between each set =36 minutes

36+18=54 minutes maximum

if you rest 30 seconds between each set and 2 minutes between each exercise you get less than 40 minutes for your total workout

if your already asking how LITTLE time you can spend.. your asking on the wrong foot.... but 4-5 days a week to get big. 2-3 days to maintain.

who said that...you could get big by 3 days per week..

the goal is to progress on a constant basis. go buy Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength for Beginners and Practical Prgramming for Strength Athletes

u will not regret spending the $$$ on these 2 books.
