I always spend like 2.5 hrs working out because I do 3x5 sets of yapping till failure
😂
Think of the jawline from the gains, though!! Nice work 💪
I mean how are you not going to catch up with all the bros while at the gym tho
This got a good chuckle out of me
My n'gga😂
“Orgasmic laughter” 😂😂
Dr Mike's side stories and metaphors never disappoint 😂😂
Took me so off guard
Oddly very specific
That analogy was amazing.
ive never talked to a woman
You love anal-logy huh
@@BULD0SIS I believe you.
When you get a home gym you'll be amazed at how much you can get done in 20, 30, or 45 minutes.
Everything is set and ready to use. I can keep the intensity high and the down time low.
completely agree with this
@@phantomflame0658That sounds like an incredibly inefficient workout. Was it solely front delt day?
I think that's the case if you really have a good home gym with adequate equipment. Otherwise it's more of "lets move a bit", instead of working to a (serious) strength and muscle building programm :)
Heh, I take longer workout out at home because I push myself even more and rest longer than at the gym.
That makes sense. I'm pretty sure I'd save 10 mins of prep, 30 mins of travel, and 30 mins of gym time if I get a good home gym. The only problem is that I'm not an adult with a job lol.
I have young children. I'm proud of the 30 minutes I get in 4 times a week. Be proud of what you can manage now, accept that it will fluctuate, you're doing great if you're doing something!
Something is better than nothing I always say!!! We all finnese and debate bout optimum workouts... Really most optimum thing is consistency. If you put in some work, results happen!
Most people don't exercise at all, so that 30 minutes is going to make a big difference in your health and fitness level and appearance.
Absolutely 20-30 minutes 3 times a week is plenty to stay healthy and active. It all depends on your goals in the gym and what you’re trying to achieve
I wanna see people do burpees for 30 min straight some x times a week and see them complain "not training enough" 😂
30 min 4 times a week is in my opinion better than average. Great job
Be consistent. That’s it. Go often, stick to it and even 20 min 5-6 times a week is huge. The problem with hour long marathon sessions is that most people don’t really have time for that or will certainly at some point in their life will no longer have time for that and they fall off. Keep it simple, keep it consistent.
What's the saying, "the best workout is the one you do."?
@@dearboy05 that's an amazing one!
Although, I agree with you in principle, but there is a catch. It's about priorities. I have full time job, school, gf, kids and a dog at home. Yet I manage 1h+ gym and 30 minutes cardio 5-6 times a week. My sleep is consistent and Im getting enough of it.
I can’t even stretch and do warmups sets in 20 mins
@@dearboy05 “the only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen” consistency is what makes the man.
“I fear not the man that practices 10,000 kicks one but I fear the man that practices one kick 10,000 times” I’m aware this is a gym post but the logic of what Bruce Lee states in that quote is still there to be used.
Also depends on rest time between sets, with high intensity you need more rest time.
I think it's more time spent working out. If you're working out with high intensity you can probably only do 45 mins to 1h15 of exercise. 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. Same thing with working out. Not the cleanest analogy but applicable lol
@alexanderesposito5672 nah pretty good analogy
@@alexanderesposito567245 minutes with limited rest could be akin to driving 100mph and burning through the tank in 3 hours, compared to 1 & 1/2 hours with rest being driving 65 and going through the tank in 5 hours.
Real Dr. Mike. Real
1-1.5hrs depending on what I’m doing is my sweet spot, 1.5hrs if it’s legs as I always feel I need a longer rest between sets
same and especially if you have unnilateral movements with slow eccentric.
Mine take 5 hours
Same for the time. I have a disability that can trigger flairs, so I have to be careful how hard and fast I push things, or I'll be unable to work out for possibly weeks.
I take more rest in between sets and do more form controlled, slow eccentrics. I'll have slower growth, but I'm still getting stronger and bigger with 1- 1.5+ hrs
For me legs workouts take less time, because it is very easy to target all legs muscles in a short amount of time with heavy compound movements like squats or leg press
@@AdriceMC This, legs usually around an hour and the upper body 1:15-1:30
Mine last around 2 hours but about 35-40% of that is resting between sets. I’d superset some of my exercises but my gym is tiiiiiny and I can’t really hog the machines
Same. I'm a high rest time guy. Not out of the ordinary for me to have 5-7 minutes between sets. This usually ensures I can lift heavier weights for more reps. Sure it's not exactly time efficient, but it is what works well for me.
I started going to the gym at 6am. I go for 90 minutes MAX, not too many people there. I get in, get it done, get out.
6 pm is better. 😁
Dr. Mike is the best thing that ever happened to the fitness industry. Change my mind.
But sometimes the gym is just so full that you can't do it in less then 2 hours.
I guess the time would count only for the time spent actually working out
@@sneakysnail9225sets themselves are very short
@@sneakysnail9225 Do rest periods count?
@@freyasfreinds7445Yes, rest would make up most of this time
@@freyasfreinds7445yes, duration of workout= warmups, working sets , rest periods
Cool downs , stretching etc not included
I think some of these "two and a half hours in the gym" guys spend a lot of time standing around doing jack all.
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
I'm non stop set after set hitting different muscle groups at the gym for up to 3 hours most on a good night, because the sets, reps and pumps are so fuxkin good I know I won't have that mentality all the time so I make the most of it, also because I quit drinking coffee so my pre workout hits me like steroids to the ass cheek, I'm stacking on the muscle so far
but I do cringe when I see people setting up their phone to record their workouts or sit and chat for an extra hour
Taking that time between heavy sets is fine… I just do other accessory stuff in between. I get my best results on heavy lifts with that amount of rest. Sorry not sorry.
@@sugmasigmaYeah, if someone has specific powerlifting or strength goals, 5 minutes might be needed for them to catch their breath or stop feeling weak in the target or accessory muscles.
Just ask to work in.
If you're a powerlifter or similar strength focused person, 5 minute rests are useful because you need that full recovery for each high intensity set. But if you're bodybuilding, keeping those rests more compact is better.
3 hours 2x per week. Love it.
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.
Scott the video guy is the real MVP
I'm definitely one of those guys who still has a lot of energy after going hard to failure on the bench then resting and getting back into my sets where I'm also cycling between rows and curls after going to failure in each set id definitely say I go longer than 2 hours
90 minutes. 15-30 minutes is for stretching/mobility depending the day
I don’t remember asking you
@@Nickdsc3ah you must own the comment sections
@@ChucknourseDo you know who his father is?
@@Nickdsc3 Always the one 🤡
5 hours
I just am forced to use a planet fitness and I spend like 30 minutes just waiting for machines sometimes,
I have the same problem. Not a planet fitness but exactly the same shit. I have been going to the gym at 1am and so far i can get my full workout without annoying ass clowns stalling my progress.
It’s the worst at PF.
Weight lifting is so trendy now, everyone and your grandma is now lifting weights.
My PF doesn't have any barbells. Smith machines are my best option. And for some reason, Smith machine hip thrusts are an extremely popular exercise for women right now.
They're hogging all the machines doing what looks like one of the dumbest exercises.
@@rjmari ya all I got is Smith machines too and there's wayyyyyy too much of that trendy shit rn when most planet fitness has a glute bridge machine with a belt that does the same thing better 🤷🏽♂️
@@rjmari this is so true, lol.
But I get it, PF is so cheap, and it is perfectly fine for almost all of us. It is just getting too crowded.
There are even some real good size jacked guys at my PF.
Everyone is poor, lol.
Dr Mike is genuinely funny, such a smart dude.
2.5 hours full body 3x a week. Works for me
I used to do that, just do antagonist super sets for the compound stuff and rest pause sets for the isolation stuff. You will do the same volume in less than half the time. You will do the same volume in 1hr.
Same. Trying to get in enough volume with 3min rest between sets plus cardio. I would say 2.5 hours is solid for training full body 3 times a week.
@@coreybackus2662 why not less rest and half the workout time ? I guess people like the gym that much
@@GHCMargarita honestly I hate being in the gym that long but multiple studies show you get the best gains from resting 3+ minutes between sets.
@@GHCMargarita The problem with such sets are that they lack intensity and if you manage to keep up the intensity, the fatigue will be REALLY HIGH. I remember my CNS was fried in like 2-3 weeks of antagonist training.
It takes me roughly 2 hours to warm up to a 700+ squat or deadlift. Nervous system recovery at ultra-heavy weight usually means I’m waiting 20+ minutes between heavy lifts. I don’t disagree for body building it’s crazy to go for that, but elite level powerlifters and strongmen usually have insanely long workouts
My workouts last for 2-2.5 hours but that’s including the 25 minutes of cardio that I do. I also take long rest times since my sets are very intense. If the rest times were more close to the average and the cardio was cut in half I’d probs only have 1.5 hour long workouts.
Yup, i workout for 1 hour 45 min and i rest for about 4-5 min in between sets. Otherwise im just not ready for the next one.
Cardio and lifting at the same time isn’t good for you. Need at least 7 hours in between, try walking more throughout the day instead
@@wb6930 man I wish I could split it up more but it’s very hard with my schedule for work, my gym is also a 25 minute drive away. I generally will do my cardio after I am done lifting weights, but yah it should be spread out more. I’m thinking of just adding in a separate cardio day or something like that.
I feel the same. I used to do an upper/lower split, but felt like I was more tired for the next lifting session, even with different muscle groups. Now I just cram 30-50 set sessions for up to 3 hours twice a week with breaks, so my body doesn’t realize how fatigued it is until it hits me like a ton of bricks the next day.
20-30 minutes max, 5 to 6x a week with my free weights and kettlebells at home. I can’t spare more time a day than that.
yeah after my 5th set of bis i really can’t go any harder. you really have to push yourself and find the small sweet spot between weight and do-ability
I spend 2 hours in the gym but half of it is me waiting around for the machine I want to use to open up.
45 min to an hour is usually good, depending on how heavy you lift and what body part you're training, me personally if you're not feeling fucked after an hour then you're not training hard enough
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.
@@aeon5566you can work out hard and rest enough in an hour session. You just do less volume. Natural lifters always do too much volume.
@@SWLY123 I agree, when I train chest and triceps I usually do five exercises in total 3 for chest and two for triceps and rest time is usually about 2min, unless I'm going heavy, but when I'm weight training I usually train max an hour
@@aeon5566 I don't do many exercises in one workout, my first exercise I go heavy and rest a bit longer and then the rest of the exercises I go between 6-12r, but an hour is enough for me and I've made results
@@SWLY123 Only if you either hit very few muscle groups or do too little of everything. In an hour I hit 2 muscle groups. I'd never hit all muscle groups twice a week that way if I did that, plus I'd have to work out every day. Note that I am in my 40s, I need a lot more rest than your average school kid.
90-120 minutes for me. 15 minutes for stretching/waiting for a rack, about 15-20 sets with 3-4 minutes rest time in between each set, and the remaining time is spent yapping with my gym bros or waiting for a machine to be available
This mf is really sending me with this polo on. My mind cant comprehend Dr. Mike wearing it lol
I absolutely loved the reference. Spot on lmao *orgasmic laughter though 😂
My workout today was 30 minutes with 4 breaks of 5 minutes 😂
His allegories are priceless lmaoo
Dr. Mikes analogies never disapoint
Love this guy ❤
Dan Johns 'Easy Strength' would blow his mind.
I do full body 3 times per week.
If you count my warm up which is around 15min, (Im 40 and Im not gambling with less warmup) Im in the gym around 2h each session, so 6h per week
Great analogy honestly
I have had the RP app since Xmas. I always extra sets/exercises to whatever the app recommended. Was burning out and sore joints. Finally doing a meso where I'm just doing exactly as the app gives me. Getting my best gains yet, more energy and joints feel great most days. I am 55 so going to have bad days of course. Haha.
An actually incredible analogy
If the gym is slow or dead where, I don’t have to wait for something to free up. And I’m not in small conversations. Warm up joints & muscles if needed, dynamic stretching. 1-2 warm up sets, 3 main sets. 1-3 mins of rest depending if it’s isolation or compound. Mild to medium cardio at the end. 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.
The 15 drinks guy is me sober fr
10 min per morning. Enough for me.
10 sets per day. Perfect
45min-1hr depending on how early I manage to leave for work(gym is at work), I find that to be the sweet spot for me
I take longer on different workouts due to rest differences/weight differences in the exercises but also how I feel during the workout. If I feel like my triceps can handle more that day I'll do an extra exercise
1 hour main lift, 1 hour accessories with pre workout and Intra protein shake is my sweet spot lol
I've been doing something like 1h of main lifting, then some 20-40min of cardio, and 15-30min accessory movements. 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.
2h works well for me, counting the breaks too so it's 1.5h at the end of the day. still in the mood after that, sometimes I can't even fall asleep from all the adrenaline
I have 1hour for my lunch break at work. i use it to work out at the gym on a different floor. typically a workout is 45-55mins Monday through Friday bro split. It works very well for me.
Super sets brother super sets!!!
1hour an 30 minutes that's all I need.
Since i incorporated Mike’s suggested warm-up sets i rarely get out earlier than two hours (3 times a week, push/pull/legs)
Hi 🙋 Dr. Mike,
I really appreciate your tiny little small video(I’m sure it has a great personality) you look very fantastic and professional with this black shirt. Your content is as always very constructive and you are a funny guy ❤😂😘
Working out at home = 1hr workout.. Saves me a lot of time. Public gyms have too many distractions.
Ya but it’s nice to work out next to other ppl feels more motivating
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
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
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.
@@hepdance6073 idk…Jay Cutler calls it high volume training. It does feel right, and it got good results. I do more “to failure” now…I like it, but I don’t know if I’ve seen a world of difference.
@@BigstickNick come on man, he's 4 time mr olympia, do you not think he's taken any performance enhancing drugs? To compete at mr olympia you have to be blasting, and even HRT gives you a huge advantage over recovery and every aspect as your testosterone doesnt drop through the day and stays at same level more consistently.
Dorian Yates must of had lowball goals then..
Dorian has hairy balls 😮
I’m disappointed I had to scroll this far to see Dorian Yates mentioned
using Dorian Yates as a counter example is just disingenuous. You're not Dorian Yates. Nobody's Dorian Yates.
Shut up, Mike! You're fckg awesome. Damn beast! 💪🏼
Usually between 60-90 minutes most days including light warm ups. Crazy energy levels and sometimes the first half hour feels like the warmup
Hes on that shit that makes ur head grow
This was a great metaphor
I normally spend about 2-2.5 hrs in the gym, but the first 15 mins is warming up, with 15-20 mins stretching post-workout, and a 15-20 min walk before I leave
I do super sets with 3 minutes rest between sets and 5 minute rests when I change exercises. My workouts usually take around 1.5 - 2 hrs depending on the split.
This shit is accurate as hell 💯💯💯
I spend 2 hours a day in the gym 5-6 times a week. I always have the energy for it❤
I often do 3 back to back 20 minute workouts during one training session. They blend together and it’s hard to define which workout is which
• Last year trained 2hrs a day for 8 months
• 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 💪🗿🔥
Good analogy 😊
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.
The absolute goat of analogies 🐐
When I was training for special forces I'd do 4-6 hour workouts. Combination of lifting, hiit and cardio
I just enjoy working out and being at the gym.
34 now, spent most of my 20s 2 to 3 hours in the gym. Make a sht load of progress in short periods of time. But on the flip side, I have all kinds of problems now. Over training is usually what ends up happening when you get that addicted to working out. And later on, you will see and feel the affects. Now, at most, it's an hour and half. But my standard now is about 45 minutes.
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
Seen a house wife get upset cause she was seeking validation for hitting the gym 3 times a day for 90 minutes each for the same exercise. And I called her out for phoning it in.
I felt like I could feel my muscles atrophying the last time I did a 2+ hour workout. An hour is usually the sweet spot for me, maybe 10-15 minutes more or less depending on the muscle group.
Bro has all the knowledge regurgitating others
Thank you so much
With proper rest and all between exercises, I spend no more than 1 hour on leg days and by the end I can't even focus on gathering the strength to go upstairs. If you do 2 hours with high intensity and going to failure, you are an absolute monster
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.
Nobody asked plus I make better videos😂lol
I like being there for about two hours. It’s my happy place.
But that being said, after three years of training, I bought the RP hypertrophy app and am excited to work harder and see more gains.
It’ll probably make my gym sessions shorter
Wish I had better advice and knowledge in my 20s when I was that idiot. Overtraining only lasted about 10 years
1 to 1,5 hours is the sweet spot for me and i think most
I think it also depends on what you're doing at the time you're doing it.
If you transfer sports it's easy to spent 2 hours. Like sometimes it's 40 minutes before I even start working out. Gotta stretch, cardio, and do mobility work
For martial arts is very importante to do a lot of volume
45 mins to an hour 3 days a week is my sweet spot rn
The workout you can commit to on a regular basis is the best kind of workout. If you can/only want to workout 20 intense minutes 3 times a week then that’s the workout for you. It’s certainly better than no exercise at all
Wise words
What sucks is when you have to wait on almost every machine or weight. Even trying to change it up mid workout, if the gym is packed, you're screwed.
I like going there to make friends and socialize. I’m more of a cardio, agility and endurance athlete than a strength trainer or bodybuilder. I do lift weights maybe 1 to 2 times per week. 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. It’s a clean, healthy environment and many of us, including pretty girls would hangout for hours a night and have great times talking and working out together. We’re not club or bar people, we are gym people.
People who train for 2 hours actually train less time than people who go to the gym to get shit done and leave in 1 hour.
But the first 45 minutes are part of my warm up Doc lol
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.
I’m aiming to cut down partially because I’m lazy lol. But I also have callisthenics goals so the gym will probably revolve around some of the smaller muscles I can’t get too well with compound exercises. Or anything else that requires attention.
Great analogy 💯💯💯😂😂😂
At roughly 10 minutes per exercise, 2 hours can go by surprisingly quickly. I'm always surprised how much more time resistance training takes than cardio.
Lol great analogy, on the guy putting down game 5 vs 15 drinks.
Depends on the goal for me, I have a high metabolism so when I’m trying to gain I just lift hard throughout the whole day in short spurts, for conditioning I could easily got an hour or longer my endurance is crazy but it causes me to lose weight extremely quickly.
60-90 minutes is my sweet spot for resistance training. Except for core day, that’s 45 minutes.
I used to spend like, 4 hours in the gym when I started trying to workout everything in a given day...which left me feeling like SHIT for the rest of the day. I've managed to optimize it to the best of my ability and cut it down to an hour or maybe 2 hours tops.
That being said, it still worked but like...doing that much for that long and STILL having to eat and go about the day was...HARD, to say the least.
