Isn't the poll a bit arbitrary? I mean I train 5 days per week, so I could respond under either category....

[modiba]

im on a 3 day split. just starting to use that mass routine suggested from iron magazine....

 

[freag34]

I tried using the HIT routine from Mike Mentzer (training ~20mins twice/week) for a year or so - great gains intially, then i seemed to just STOP

I started up a multi-set, multi body part per week cycle again about 5 weeks ago (6days/week, ~1hour, 9sets/bodypart, split into 3 days), and I'm up ~15 pounds already. I think this is for a few reasons:

- upped my calories insanely, i think i must have gained at least 5lbs of fat here
- started a prohormone, maybe my body just LIKED it !!!
- long time since i've done exercise this intense, my body must have said SURPRISE !!!

 

[oe40luvr]

I try to lift at least 5 days per week, and do some extra lifts on Saturday if time allows

 

[KataMaStEr]

5 days a week straight. Rest Saturdays and Sundays. My routine is basically whatever my football coach has on the board that day. Lifting time is for about 1 hour and 30 min.
