But if you need to wait for a machine or are resting that doesn't really count. Think of it like a gas tank. The car has a limited amount of fuel but fuel is only burned when the car is turned on.

    Saw a guy at the gym, doing the bench, and he was taking literally five minutes or seven minutes between sets and spent more time talking to friends than lifting. If the gym is your social club, fine. But don't hog a resource (in this case, the bench) that is limited as the gym we go to only has three benches and people be waiting. That's why I go at 4am, no waiting for the those who treat it like a social club/gym

    What I cut down on recently is rest time between sets. I still like to rest for a while to make sure I’m ready to go for my set, but a lot of times I would spend a lot of unnecessary time finding the perfect song or mentally preparing for my set. The problem is the longer you rest, that pre workout starts to wear off then you become exponentially more tired and need exponentially more rest, then you’re tired at the end and you don’t want to finish your sets so it takes even longer because you’re not having fun anymore. It’s a bad snowball effect that I’m trying to cut down on.

      Or you're not resting enough so you exert yourself faster. Meaning you actually lift less and have less gains. Yea you feel beat up after an hour, but the goal isn't to get tired my friend. The goal is to put as long and as much tension on your muscles with as high a weight as the number of reps allow. You get more of that by taking time to rest between sets.
      I've seen dudes at the gym go all out without resting. Messing up their form and half assing exercises by not getting enough stretch or not enough rom. Because they tire themselves out with too much weight in too short an amount of time. If you're super tired, you're not doing it right.

And I’m out of there within an hour and 30 mins. But if it’s packed like a jungle, I’m not leaving until 2 sometimes, 3 hours later. Some ppl are there almost everyday 45 mins-1 hour tops; but within 6 months, they’ve looked the same while I’ve made significant gains / improvements. If you’re just maintaining, barely making a sweat, never grunting or exhausted because you wanna still cool or cute while working out then yes, 30-45 mins is perfect for you,

    Also a big change I made was splitting my back workouts in half. I like to do shoulders with back/bis instead of chest, so my back/shoulder/bi days would take foreverrrr. What I did was split my back into an outer sweep width type day and then a middle back thickness type day.
    Instead of all of these in one workout, I’d do something like
    Back A
    Lat pulldown
    Wide dumbbell row
    Pullover
    Back B
    Barbell row
    Chin ups
    Shrugs
    A pretty much always gets thrown in with shoulders and bis and then B will usually go with legs as an excuse to throw some upper body on leg day or could (even though I haven’t really tried it) throw back B on a chest day if I wanted to.

I notice that after the main lifting, i'm a bit spent, but if i do especially light cardio, then my upper body muscles get a bit of a rest, and i can do few sets of accessory better, than if i were to do them immediately after the main movements.

    I remember when I started lifting I used to be in the gym for more than 2 hours training only one body part. If I was training chest, I would do every single pressing and fly variation. 5-6 sets each exercise. It took me some time to dial my workouts down to 90 minutes. Now I'm in the gym for 1 hour 40ish minutes and do atleast 2 body parts each session along with cardio

    • @BigstickNick

      I did the same…my chest workout was probably 90 minutes in its own, then the rest of the workout together would be a total of 3 hrs. Everyone kept telling me it was too much, but I was responding well. Now I’ll tell myself, I don’t have to do it all in one day haha

    • @hepdance6073
      @hepdance6073 12 дней назад

      that was way too many sets per week for the chest or any single body part. Not even people who have trained for 10 years would do that much. You might have felt like you were responding well but your muscles werent fully recovering. Watch jeff nippards videos on sets per week, im pretty sure he says anyhwere around 18-22 sets per muscle group per week is the sweet spot. Also depends how hard do you train. If you train close to failure on majority of your sets then you probably need even less sets per week.

    • Training with intent to seriously adjust my physique and health goals
    • 2 body split per session plus 15 minutes of a circuit
    • Felt great but admit it's a little overtraining, not competing. Physically got major results
    • my weight didn't drop significantly and mattered most
    Would i do it again? Hell yeah I enjoyed it.
    • This year so far stuck to more wellness lifestyle
    • 1 split a day and no ab circuit. All kitchen.
    • bw is lower than last year, with less than half effort, and it's only l been 4 months
    • my gains are dramatically higher too
    • my lean mass is even better as well
    Conclusion:
    •Training until exhaustion for splits gives more optimal results when only that one specific part is given all your attention
    • A clean high protein and nutrient dense diet is vastly more potent, especially as it encourages your metabolism to burn for all nutrients needed
    • Got a sleeper build now in comparison to some strength feats I have and I love it.
    Training for long periods is with specific goals, and training for specific parts with complete focus goes much further. Unless you're an athlete, or seeking athletic skills, this is plenty for anyone and it's both more cost effective in money and time for your overall health and commitment.
    Stay strong out there 💪🗿🔥

    You bodybuild, you do Jiu-jitsu and you're an exercise scientist. One of my favorite aspects of exercise culture is "combat conditioning". High rep basic calisthenics on a daily basis.
    I've always wanted to experiment with having a daily high rep minimalist calisthenics program for conditioning, while having a weekly split as a separate phenomenon.
    Any suggestions on how to converge these models of training when they concurrently tax your muscles? Obviously I won't be able to optimize either while performing both, but it would be cool if they could functionally coexist.

    I've just started again after 7 years of no gym. What I've found is that my sweetspot is about 2 hours per session, 70-90% of my max weight (i don't count max weight on what i can do one rep of, but rather the weight i can do 10 of wirh failure at the 11th) at 10-15 reps for the first two sets, then 3-5 sets at 100% at the max rep count i can muster, then 2-3 sets of 20-30 reps at 30-40% max weight. 90-120 seconds rest and water in between sets and then straight to the next excercise. I don't experience any pain (except for the occasional pain in my back during intense free weight exercises as my back muscles aren't quite strong enough for free weights yet) and I'm not so exhausted that i can't study or work afterwards. It has worked well for me and i don't see any reason to drastically change it

    As a powerlifter, most of our sessions are about 3 hrs (3x per week). This is because we get good rest between sets for maximum output and quality reps each set, and just maybe because we get distracted and talk shit between sets and exercises a lot. I don't like to rush anything, really, especially things I enjoy, and gym time is pretty much my only regular socialising time, so it's worth a longer sesh for the mental health benefits.

I do bench press 225lb and I do ab crunches with weight resistance. It’s far better than basic ab crunches with no weights. I love how my abs feel after a workout. The gym is open 24 hours 4 days a week. They just changed it from 24 hours 7 days a week. A lot of us are angry about that. It was 24/7 for years and now suddenly 24/4. For a lot of us we like coming to the gym around 8pm and saying all night and socializing.

    I can get a ridiculous workout in 30min at home. I usually take 45-60sec rest between sets and about 4-6 sets per movement. For example push day incline press, OHP, pushups, front dumbell raises, skull crushers and kickbacks. Some days i do 20-30 min of heavy bag cardio afterwards but the weight training portion is usually 30-45 min tops. I like to do alot of supersets and i dont take much rest between sets unless its beginning of workout and im doing the heavier lifts. Every set close to failure and burnouts by end of workout for instance pushups or front raises i will do multiple sets back to back no rest but go down in weight or difficulty while burning out on every set for that crazy pump at end of workout. Ive found this works the best with shoulders and biceps for some reason. They grow insanely faster than other muscles when i do alot of burnouts etc. Protein and creatine supplement twice a day, one morning one before bed.
