How often do you train?

[barc77]

I do a 2 day split twice a week now. I think I may be lifting to much, so I am going to start the IM 3 day split in a couple weeks. It looks like a good system.

I just joined. Great site to socialize and steal some of your routings of course. I work out pfff.... I'm sloppy. It depends. These days I only do 1 body part per day. Kinnda weird?

 

[tuffguy]

I go every morning (daily) and work on one part of the body. 5 to 8 excercises. 20 min of cardio

Sat/ Sun off

About 4 - 5 times a week

I usually train 4-5 times a week with weights and cardio but at times I decrease it to 3 -4 depending on what my body feels like..

 

[jay]

I can't train more than 4 times a week or I always get sick. I guess I need extra recovery time.

 

[aadaam]

I try to get to the gym everyday of the week
Weights one day then cradio the next.
Normally grouping two muscle groups together on my weight day.
Atleast one hour a day.
If anyone has any advice as to how I could improve my workout, please let me know.

Feel free to post your workout if you want some help with it, also don't forget diet is a big part of getting big so take a good look at that as well.

 

[mad_mike]

Day 1: Chest and Shoulders
Day 2: Biceps and Triceps
Day 3: off
Day 4: Back
Day 5: Legs
Day 6: Off

Abs usually three times a week and cardio at least three times a week

 

[TRD]

I do cardio 2 times a week and lifting 3 days

Prince, you hit the jackpot. There are more replies to your question than any other. You should get a prize or something.
Future questions need to be as general and open and interesting as the one that you submitted. Give us another record breaking question!!

Six days....Work permitting.
Day 1 Upper back and Abs
Day 2 Lower back and Hamstrings
Day 3 Biceps, Triceps and Abs
Day 4 Shoulders and Calves
Day 5 Quadriceps and Abs
Day 6 Chest.

If I miss a session through work, or whatever, I just pick it up again from where I left off.
This is the sweetest routine I've ever enjoyed.

 

[nemodynamite]

Day 1: Chest and Bi's
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Rest
Day 4: Back
Day 5: Shoulders/Tris
Day 6: Rest

This works well for me.

 

[Solid_Steel]

I like changing routines often , but its ussually 3-4 days a week.

 

[Mudge]

I currently am using a 4 on 1 off, split routine would whup ass but I am not going to hammer my schedule that much right now. 5 on 1 off is also nice, pretty basic stuff for me, nothing fancy. So basically I have 1 day off per week, although sometimes that changes.

 

[1xDeatHsHeaDx3]

No 7 day button there should be

 

[Craft]

4 days on, 3 days off... That's moreless what I try to maintain. Sometimes it's the flip side; 3 days on, 4 days off.

Weight training six days a week - that's my latest wackiness. One body part each time, hit it hard.

Saturday is my well-deserved day of rest, but that's when I have ballet class.

Yep! Hockey is usually on Sundays or Thursdays, and I'm trying ballet at a new place. If I like it there, I'll probably go to the Tuesday and Thursday morning classes. Been taking it since I was a tot.

What can I say, I'm just a Renaissance Chickie, I guess.

 

[The Amazon]

wow! weightlifting, hockey, and ballet. You are way too cool!

I took ballet as a little girl, but they asked me not to come back.

Well, that'll happen when you show up all the other little girls and they go home crying. They should have just looked at you as someone to aspire to!

If I ever get access to a scanner, I'll have to show you pics of me as a pouty little pink swan. I honestly think I was born with a pout!

Don't you ever want to gain size or strength??

 

[Crayon]

I work out 6 times a week, and try to focus on one muscle group at a time. I will end up picking a day somewhere to rest.

Biceps
Triceps
Legs
Chest
Shoulders
Back
