Ian in regards to the strength trianing (I’m a personal trainer). It depends. I workout 5 days a week. You can do 3 but youll be at the gym longer. It really just depends on the volume and intensity of your workouts. Im typically there for an hour and i do a push pull leg split. Just make sure you’re progressively overloading and getting enough protein in! If youd like a personalized workout plan let me know and I’m happy to work on it
Hey Ian 3-4-5 in my opinion are all workable when it comes to working out. I’m a power lifter myself and I workout 4 times a week and other people on my coaches team workout 5 times a week. If your just training for general strength the same principles apply. Finding a split that you like will also dictate how many times you want to work out. Generally for powerlifting training will provide strength increase and also increase in muscle mass if your program is structured right.

11:18 Hey Ian! I'm a student of the PE variety, with a background in competitive swimming. The following is an answer to your question, along with the bare essentials of our physiology. Everyone is different. Our biology is individually unique. This means there is no "best approach" as such. With that said, you are most likely to see results with days of rest between workouts - i.e. 3-4 days per week. Your targeted muscles recieve microscopic tearing after a workout, and for the muscle tissue to repair itself, it needs rest and nourishment. Repeated tearing and build-up of muscle tissue is how strength, size and durability is achieved. Say for example you work out every day. That means continuously straining already-torn muscle tissue. This inhibits muscle tissue from repairing itself effectively. You risk breaking down tissue faster than your body can repair itself. I hope this helps.
Hey Ian, its all preference with training, but what has been most optimal for me is 5 days a week. I run the Arnold split (Chest and back, Arms and shoulders, legs), rest day, then an upper day and a lower day, rest, and repeat! Hope this helps and remember to get your protein in too.
Been training for just over 15 years consistently. Personally have a good think about your goals (I know you're into running as well) and decide a sustainable number of days you can dedicate to weight training. For me its currently a 3 day weight training split, with 2 runs and 2 cycles a week. Previously when not doing a lot of cardio I found a 5 day split very good but you end up being quite one dimensional (lack of time for cardio etc) unless you have loads of free time and brilliant recovery. Once you work out how many days you can dedicate to weight training build on that, for me a 3 day split is on a two week rotation is currently working, where week 1: Push day A, Pull Day A, Legs A. Week 2 is Push day B, Pull day B and legs B. Sustainability is really important. There is a lot of crap training plans around these days, it's a hard industry to stay fresh and come up with new content based around the same thing every. Personally keep it tried and true and relatively simple, don't neglect compounds. Depending on if you train on your own or with a partner this will also change up what exercises i would recommend (heavy bench press solo isn't the best idea for example, but dumbbell press is generally easier to safely fail when training solo) Happy to have a chat or call if that helps, look forward to seeing how you progress with the training side! Enjoy that you talk about it within your CR vids
Hey Ian, as far as training goes, it really depends on what your end goal is. I ran DI track and cross country (at Southern Utah University), so my end goal was to get faster at long-distance races. I ran 6 days a week and did strength training 2-3 days a week. All of my strength training was to complement my running ability, and it definitely helped! So the number of days definitely depends on what you want to accomplish. Keep up the good content and good luck with your training brother💪
The thing is that I hike everyday and run often. It might not get me huge legs but it gets me the strength I need to be good at what I do. So I'm not even sure if I need many leg workouts, I'd probably just work legs once a week. How long do you suggest resting between sets? I heard 5 minutes is good since I always go until failure
@@Ian77-ClashRoyale Yep once a week would be good if you’re doing lots of running. 5 minutes break is good, just whenever you feel ready. My gym coach would tell me “rest long, get strong”. Until failure isn’t the best idea, have some structure of like 3 sets of 12 reps is pretty standard. You want to have enough weight that your last 2 reps are very hard
@Ian77-ClashRoyale hiking or running is good for endurance but won't do much for muscle or strength gain. As for rest time, you don't need a set amount of time, you just gotta feel ready for your next lift, however long that might be
@@Ian77-ClashRoyale6 days is a bit overkill, especially for a relatively new lifter. Keep in mind that your muscles need a lot of time to rest. I’d recommend doing 3 days a week, push, pull, legs.
Ian, in regards to training. Calories in vs calories out, training to failure, and prioritizing your sleep or rest will yield the best results. If you’re trying to build muscle, you must consume more calories than you’re burning and vice versa if trying to lose weight. Good form and really feeling the muscle you’re intending to work is far more important than weight. It’s so nice to see my friends as well as my favorite content creators showing passion for fitness, wishing you the best. Consistency and continually learning is everything. Being that this is a YT comment section, I would recommend Sean Nalewanyj for any questions you have, as he is a great source for training and dieting info and he has videos that would likely cover many of your questions without all the B.S. and trying to sell something
Push pull legs is a classic muscle building split, good for all levels of lifting. Start out with 3 days a week (1 day of each with a rest day or two in between each muscle group), then after some time move on to 6 days a week with 1 rest/abs/cardio day (2 of each muscle group per week). You can find good ones online. Also don’t forget to bulk with lots of carbs and protein and ur gains should be pretty quick 👍 love the vids btw ❤
About the work out: work days and rest days depend on what muscles u train, if u train a certain muscle or muscles they will need at least 1-2 days to recover fully, but in the mean time u can train another muscles or muscles the next day with correct form u can do a 6-7 day workout routine but it's generally better to get 1 proper rest day
The reason people say so many different things on training frequency is because everything works to some extent. 3 days/week works even with push/pull/legs, but it doesn't maximize gains. If you're doing HIT Mentzer-style 3/week may even be enough. But if you're doing classic bodybuilding with a bro split around 5 days seems to be most useful. You just decide based on the frequency of training you can recover from fully.
Personally I workout around 3-4 times a week, and do low reps, high weight for strength. I always make sure to do pull ups, cardio for sure, and something for vertical and explosiveness. I like to train like an athlete still
For building strength and muscle, the ammount of days you work out don't matter. It's more about the sets per muscle group you perform. Many people prefer to work out less often per week as you can get more rest. This is especially important in the beginning as your central nervous system will need to recover no matter what muscle group is trained.
@@gijspannekoek1131recovery is also very important so you should give them plenty of time to actually go through the process of building muscle instead of constantly training and breaking them down
@@gijspannekoek1131not really frequency isn't as important as intensity and proper rest. I could go to the gym 6 to 5 times a day and workout but that won't effect my progress to the same degree as going to failure and beyond failure with proper technique.
To answer your question, it really depends on how much volume you can tolerate and the movements you do. I am a powerlifter and I can only handle 4 days per week. Anything more than that destroys my body. Doing deadlifts and bench press (or squats and bench press) the same day, plus some accessories can lead to injury if you’re not careful managing your volume. Just be smart and do some experiments to see what fits you!
Been bodybuilding for 4 years here Ian. And I would recommend lifting on average 4 days a week. You need to let yourself recover. So also need to eat enough. It’s a simple formula: workout hard, recover, eat enough, eat protein.
I'm a strength and conditioning coach and I train 4x a week on an upper lower split. Not the most "optimal" but it works for me with my busy schedule. Find a split that fits your lifestyle and how busy you are, that's key for adherence.
How many rest days you need is completely genetic - someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger will get best results by training twice per day, while someone like Tom Platz or Mike Mentzer will get best results by training way less. Do they all still look great? Absolutely! Oh, and fun fact: Tom Platz tried training like Arnold, but he only got weaker and smaller with that training style. You should probably experiment with different amounts of rest days, but for most people 2 - 3 rest days a week is best, especially if you also do stuff like high intensity running on rest days you should probably choose 3 rest days.
Regards to your training plans, it depends. If you ALWAYS train close to failure while doing 6-12 sets per a muscle group you definitely need at least 2 days off the gym a week. It also depends on the excercises you do in and outside of the gym. If you are very active outside of the gym, I's say 4 or less is optimal. If you PRIOTiRIZE really heavy movements (such as deadlifts, bench press, squat, leg press and generally taxing excercises) AND are active outside of the gym AND ALWAYS train to failure, I'd say your central nervous system can effectively handle mere 3 training sessions a week. Hope this helps
Been lifting for a little over 2 years now, I go 6 days a week, around 2 hours of intense strength training per session. I’ve been doing the Arnold split for awhile now (chest & back, shoulders & arms, legs). Honesty just find what program is best for you, good luck with your gym journey man!
I do arms in two, triceps and biceps. With these do things that work together with bicep or tricep. I do my abs every time and usually I skip leg days don't do that though. I think this is pretty good and simple for building muscle.
I did 6+1 for 5 years now. 1 chest + biceps, 2 back + triceps, 3 legs, 1, 2, 3, then just 30 mins yoga and stretch on Sunday. A 5 mins abs workout (athlean x got loads of variety) every single day. My body fat consistently on 10-11% and I’m healthy as a bull…
2-3 days a week for 2.5-3 hours. Best for bulking, but still decent for time depending on the workouts you have. I alternate between push and pull and I have 2 versions of each. I start with cardio, do a big workout like deadlifts then the others ones for the push or pull smaller muscle groups. Then cardio again and then abs
I’ve been lifting for about 2 years and I’ve started to realize rest days are kinda subjective, I used to lift 6 days a week then I was getting really tired and couldn’t lift as heavy, switched over to about 3-4 days a week and I’ve been loving it but I’m thinking about going back to 6 because I have so much energy. Do whatever you want just train hard when you go and get them gainz 💪
Hey Ian! As a powerlifter, I'd say 4-5 days will do well. I've done 3 and 6 before, and 3 gets boring, but 6 can get rough. In terms of time, I'd say no more than an hour a day go get what you'll need. Workouts don't need to be long, so as long as you push yourself with a couple exercises, you'll do great! I'm a fan of your channel, so keep up the great content!
Personally i workout 5-6 days a week for 1,30/2 hr. If you want to build strength you have to do sets of low rep of a really heavy weight and if you want to build musce you have to do higher sets with less heavy weight. You are the best love what you do
To build muscle. You want to give a recovery day in-between work outs. But the days question is hard. Technically you can work out every day alternating between upper and lower. Core needs no rest
3-4 days is better for strength and muscle building but I like to go for 5-6 to stay consistent. Just make sure to go to failure on your lifts the last couple reps are the most important so try not to leave any reps in the tank, also form and technique>weight.
I think that 3 or 4 days of training per week is better because muscle growth takes place during rest, the main thing is to vary and distribute the exercises and their intensity well. Good video btw, keep up the good content !
for mainly strength training, you should base your workout lengths on time, rather base them on how many sets/ reps you do. something like 3 sets of 6 reps on compound movements (bench press, squat, maybe deadlift, overhead press, barbell row are some good options). ideally aim for about 4 sessions per week which allows for adequate rest and recovery and won’t overwork you mentally and physically.
when you workout it really just comes down to how effective your workouts are. i personally would do 3-4 days a week because i know everytime i go to the gym i’ll be going for maximum efficiency. you dont have to carry the heaviest your body is limited to but as long as your workout isn’t easy then you’ll make massive gains
Regarding your lifting program question: I was able to go from 165 to 195 in 2 years (probably 20-22 lbs of muscle after training for a few years prior. I’d suggest lifting for 1 hour 4x a week as HARD as you can. Look up Mike Mentzer training program. Dude is legit
For working out, it depends on how well you can recover. If you can handle six days a week without feeling like garbage, do that. And that way you can keep your workouts to under an hour and still get enough volume
the workout I used to do and I am trying to get back to is going to the gym 5 times a week. I normally work out for an hour. pretty much gives me good results
The amount of training is almost entirely dependent on how good your recovery is. If you sleep very well, manage stress, avoid overtraining, get plenty of protein and eat healthy, address areas of weakness/poor mobility and don’t drink any alcohol, you could probably train twice a day full Bulgarian style lol. But having all those things down is way harder than the training itself.
I like to go 5 days a week but as long as you put in full effort you could do 3 or 4 and still see results, I also lift for 2- 2.5 hours with long breaks between but that could be condensed to an hour and a half. Do whatever you think allows you to put max effort without feeling like a chore if that makes sense
i used to workout 7 times a week with a calorie deficit (i needded to loose weight) ,at the beggining it made me looks realy great but after 1year i was stuck with my skinny body , like it wouldn't grow anymore , so now to grow muscles i recommend you to eat a lot of protein and a lot of carbs and workout 6 times a week on different area every day
If you want to powerbuild which power + bodybuild u should do like 4 or 5 days a week. It gives you like enough time to recover and is frequent enough to build strength too .really fun vid btw
I personally worked out six days a week for some time and I had some pretty good results, but if you don't have enough time for that its fine to only do 3 times a week, you'll still get result just maby a bit slower
5-6 days a week, 45 mins all you need. Make sure you’re getting 1/2 gram of protein per body weight each day (ex if you’re 160lbs, need 80 grams of protein) and let the rest do it’s work 🤝 (Might want to do lower intensity (higher reps) or simply less days a week if long distance running. Especially if training for half or full) Also love the content bro
It’s totally dependent on you tbh. If you had good recovery then you can probs do 5/6 days (wouldn’t recommend 6) but 4 I always found is a nice sweet spot, recovery is key and 3 days it lovely. Then I train for anywhere between 30 mins to 1.5h hours deepening on how long i’m taking between sets/talking/setting up exercises
In regard to workouts Ian a good 4-5 day split is more than enough . You could do PPL /upper - lower or you could do upper / lower x 2 . I have some workouts I can give you , free of course 🤙🏼
Hey Ryley i heard you were looking for a workout plan. What works best for a teenager is working out everyday because there is going to be times when you physically can’t workout. Like maybe a 4 day trip with your family and those will be your rest days. It’s just what worked best for me and helped me pack on a ton of muscle. (because rest days come no matter what when your a kid and those 3-4 days workout is only for deformed elderly men)
at the end of the day it comes down to preference. But if you know what you’re doing in the gym low volume high intensity is the most efficient way to gain muscle.
so in regards of working out: start off with 3 days a week. do this until you stop being sore from your workouts, then step up to 4 days a week, till you stop being sore. do this till you hit 5-6 days a week working out, however this takes time. Recovery is probably more essential than working out, as that’s when your muscles actually get stronger. blowing your body out doesn’t built muscle. maybe if you get used to 3-4 days, up your workouts so you are a bit sore again before moving to 5-6 days a week. NEVER 7!!! REST RECOVERY IS ESSENTIAL
For the gym stuff, muscle growth only depends on proper progressive overload. You do that, you can work out for as little as 3 days a week or as much as 6. Simply a matter of preference
If you haven’t already decided what to include in your program then Will Tennyson has a very comprehensive video regarding building muscle and strength, definitely go over his videos!
5 or 6 days a week is the best for gaining muscle. If you do a push pull legs type of program I’d probably spend around 2/3 hours in the gym. But if you train one muscle group a day you should be fine with 45 min to an hour.
It really depends on you trying different things and seeing what works, I changed my split so that I hit everything basically twice a week now and have seen a lot of growth. Nothing more than 90 min in the gym is fine.
I work out for 3 hours average 5 days a week but mainly just drilling repetitive motions for sports but if u wanna build muscle I feel like shorter sessions with 3 days workout and heavy weight with intense workouts will build more muscle
Hey Ian, basically to gain muscle you need to break it by doing exercise, and when repairing it will grow, big big guys usually do 6 days a week of work out, but they alternate the muscles they use each day, (because you can target specific one and let the other rest), I have a really good channel than explain it better, and also with food advice, it is interest you like this message and I will answer below! (btw I do 2-3 and I still have gains and it is very good already, but optimal gain to become big big and try hard is 5-6 days a week)
I think that if you can handle 5 days a week, that's ideal. No need to push for 6 days. Recovery plays a signifant role as well. Also anything after two hours of working out is a waste.
I find that training 4 days a week to be ideal for natural athletes since we cant recover from workouts as easily as juiced up bodybuilders, I recommend doing 10-12 total weekly sets taken to or close to failure for major muscles (chest,shoulder, back, quads etc..) and 4-8 sets for minor muscles (biceps, triceps, calves). Lets go Ian!❤
11:10 low intensity workouts are trash, I recommed push pull legs split, i can send you my split if you want, its really simple easy to do and deadly for building muscle, i would definately recommend going 5+ days a week, because i have tried almost every split and this is most efficent one from all of them ❤
Well, it really depends on what works for you. I go like 3 times a week now because of schedule and time but it could actually be more effective to work out less in a week. 1 hr is usually enough to get a good workout.
'm not a pro trainer, but I do have a really impressive (natti) physique. I follow a 4-5 day PPL split, inspired by Jeff Nippard. Just try to go hard and really feel the squeeze. If you go at it with enough intensity, you can be done in 1 hour. I usually take a bit longer, sort of procrastinating between the pain. Food-wise, just eat fairly clean with enough protein. After you build enough muscle, you basically can only eat too little, so just go at it
I startet with Push pull leg * Push pull. So Training 5 days a week with high volume. I then changed the plan to push with bicep, pull with tricep, legs and shoulders/arms. So 4 days, it’s working pretty well for me💪🙏🏼
I work for a supplement company and just wanted to let you know, proteins and creatine is the best way to improve mass and strength naturally. I've been taking protein 5 days out of 7 for 6 months now and i've gone up 25 pounds. Keep it up buddy!
Training every muscle group twice a week ideal. İf you have time and not gonna skip leg days 5 or 6 day workout routine is fine and make sure to be on a calorie surplus, if you can’t do more than 4 days it is good to split your workout as 2 upper and 2 lower day and if you are gonna train 3 days a week it should be a full body workout rather than split so it depends on how much time and energy you have
People are built different. different bodies can handle different volumes See how it feels like If at the end of your meso you are feeling fresh and strong you can raise volume (if you want to) If at the end of your meso you feel fatigued and beaten up you have to lower volume The way you structure your weekly volume has much less impact than amount of volume (check maximum recoverable volume) I personally do full-body 3-5X per week for intermediate full body gives enough stimulus for growth, but doesn't beat up my joints as much (check full-body split or modified ppl split)
Royale api say that logbait is a good matchup for the deck 60-68 for the egolem. But the bomb tower makes it harder. I know ryley always say he don t have the matchup but I think that for this time he does not have the matchup. The only good card is bomb tower because arrows do a lot of values and goblin gang too. The pump is always a 1 negative trade so I don’t rly see how you win with logbait if the egolem player does not make a bad move
It is so much better to workout 3-4 days a week to build strength and muscle, if you were just running and wanted the frail runner’s body then you could work out every day but to put on mass you need a full body split working out 4 days maximum. Eventually 5 but only elite bodybuilders need that kind of split
Scientifically there is no reason to work out for more than 2 hours lifting weights. 1-1.5 hours is optimal. If you are really pushing your body each time i think throwing 2-3 rest days in is beneficial. Really focus on just building the mind-muscle connection at first. Get good at using the specific muscle you want instead of just moving the weight however it will go.
Ian in regards to the strength trianing (I’m a personal trainer). It depends. I workout 5 days a week. You can do 3 but youll be at the gym longer.

Anything more than that destroys my body. Doing deadlifts and bench press (or squats and bench press) the same day, plus some accessories can lead to injury if you’re not careful managing your volume. Just be smart and do some experiments to see what fits you!
Been bodybuilding for 4 years here Ian. And I would recommend lifting on average 4 days a week. You need to let yourself recover. So also need to eat enough. It’s a simple formula: workout hard, recover, eat enough, eat protein.
I'm a strength and conditioning coach and I train 4x a week on an upper lower split. Not the most "optimal" but it works for me with my busy schedule. Find a split that fits your lifestyle and how busy you are, that's key for adherence.
How many rest days you need is completely genetic - someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger will get best results by training twice per day, while someone like Tom Platz or Mike Mentzer will get best results by training way less. Do they all still look great? Absolutely! Oh, and fun fact: Tom Platz tried training like Arnold, but he only got weaker and smaller with that training style. You should probably experiment with different amounts of rest days, but for most people 2 - 3 rest days a week is best, especially if you also do stuff like high intensity running on rest days you should probably choose 3 rest days.
Regards to your training plans, it depends. If you ALWAYS train close to failure while doing 6-12 sets per a muscle group you definitely need at least 2 days off the gym a week.
It also depends on the excercises you do in and outside of the gym. If you are very active outside of the gym, I's say 4 or less is optimal.
If you PRIOTiRIZE really heavy movements (such as deadlifts, bench press, squat, leg press and generally taxing excercises) AND are active outside of the gym AND ALWAYS train to failure, I'd say your central nervous system can effectively handle mere 3 training sessions a week.
Hope this helps
Been lifting for a little over 2 years now, I go 6 days a week, around 2 hours of intense strength training per session. I’ve been doing the Arnold split for awhile now (chest & back, shoulders & arms, legs). Honesty just find what program is best for you, good luck with your gym journey man!
I do arms in two, triceps and biceps. With these do things that work together with bicep or tricep. I do my abs every time and usually I skip leg days don't do that though. I think this is pretty good and simple for building muscle.
I did 6+1 for 5 years now. 1 chest + biceps, 2 back + triceps, 3 legs, 1, 2, 3, then just 30 mins yoga and stretch on Sunday. A 5 mins abs workout (athlean x got loads of variety) every single day. My body fat consistently on 10-11% and I’m healthy as a bull…
2-3 days a week for 2.5-3 hours. Best for bulking, but still decent for time depending on the workouts you have. I alternate between push and pull and I have 2 versions of each. I start with cardio, do a big workout like deadlifts then the others ones for the push or pull smaller muscle groups. Then cardio again and then abs
I’ve been lifting for about 2 years and I’ve started to realize rest days are kinda subjective, I used to lift 6 days a week then I was getting really tired and couldn’t lift as heavy, switched over to about 3-4 days a week and I’ve been loving it but I’m thinking about going back to 6 because I have so much energy. Do whatever you want just train hard when you go and get them gainz 💪
For starting to work out I wouldn't do more than 3-4 days at the beginning and if you feel comfortable with that increase it if you'd like.
Hey Ian!
As a powerlifter, I'd say 4-5 days will do well. I've done 3 and 6 before, and 3 gets boring, but 6 can get rough. In terms of time, I'd say no more than an hour a day go get what you'll need. Workouts don't need to be long, so as long as you push yourself with a couple exercises, you'll do great! I'm a fan of your channel, so keep up the great content!
5:34 is no one gonna talk about missed arrows?
Personally i workout 5-6 days a week for 1,30/2 hr. If you want to build strength you have to do sets of low rep of a really heavy weight and if you want to build musce you have to do higher sets with less heavy weight. You are the best love what you do
To build muscle. You want to give a recovery day in-between work outs. But the days question is hard. Technically you can work out every day alternating between upper and lower. Core needs no rest
3-4 days is better for strength and muscle building but I like to go for 5-6 to stay consistent. Just make sure to go to failure on your lifts the last couple reps are the most important so try not to leave any reps in the tank, also form and technique>weight.
Push pull legs split 6 days a week has some pretty good results for me.
I think that 3 or 4 days of training per week is better because muscle growth takes place during rest, the main thing is to vary and distribute the exercises and their intensity well.
Good video btw, keep up the good content !
If you don't have much time on hand, 5x5 program might be great for starter, 30mins exercise every 2 days, very fast growth for first 6 months
I workout 5 days a week, after every workout for about an hour then I run 3 miles. Rest body on weekends
for mainly strength training, you should base your workout lengths on time, rather base them on how many sets/ reps you do. something like 3 sets of 6 reps on compound movements (bench press, squat, maybe deadlift, overhead press, barbell row are some good options). ideally aim for about 4 sessions per week which allows for adequate rest and recovery and won’t overwork you mentally and physically.
It makes my day when Ian uploads.
when you workout it really just comes down to how effective your workouts are. i personally would do 3-4 days a week because i know everytime i go to the gym i’ll be going for maximum efficiency. you dont have to carry the heaviest your body is limited to but as long as your workout isn’t easy then you’ll make massive gains
Regarding your lifting program question: I was able to go from 165 to 195 in 2 years (probably 20-22 lbs of muscle after training for a few years prior. I’d suggest lifting for 1 hour 4x a week as HARD as you can. Look up Mike Mentzer training program. Dude is legit
For working out, it depends on how well you can recover. If you can handle six days a week without feeling like garbage, do that. And that way you can keep your workouts to under an hour and still get enough volume
Ian really wants to beat ryley irl too, after destroying him in game
the workout I used to do and I am trying to get back to is going to the gym 5 times a week. I normally work out for an hour. pretty much gives me good results
The amount of training is almost entirely dependent on how good your recovery is. If you sleep very well, manage stress, avoid overtraining, get plenty of protein and eat healthy, address areas of weakness/poor mobility and don’t drink any alcohol, you could probably train twice a day full Bulgarian style lol. But having all those things down is way harder than the training itself.
I like to go 5 days a week but as long as you put in full effort you could do 3 or 4 and still see results, I also lift for 2- 2.5 hours with long breaks between but that could be condensed to an hour and a half. Do whatever you think allows you to put max effort without feeling like a chore if that makes sense
I just came back from school and the minute I sit down I’m blessed with an Ian77 video❤
i used to workout 7 times a week with a calorie deficit (i needded to loose weight) ,at the beggining it made me looks realy great but after 1year i was stuck with my skinny body , like it wouldn't grow anymore , so now to grow muscles i recommend you to eat a lot of protein and a lot of carbs and workout 6 times a week on different area every day
If you want to powerbuild which power + bodybuild u should do like 4 or 5 days a week. It gives you like enough time to recover and is frequent enough to build strength too .really fun vid btw
I personally worked out six days a week for some time and I had some pretty good results, but if you don't have enough time for that its fine to only do 3 times a week, you'll still get result just maby a bit slower
5-6 days a week, 45 mins all you need. Make sure you’re getting 1/2 gram of protein per body weight each day (ex if you’re 160lbs, need 80 grams of protein) and let the rest do it’s work 🤝
(Might want to do lower intensity (higher reps) or simply less days a week if long distance running. Especially if training for half or full) Also love the content bro
It’s totally dependent on you tbh. If you had good recovery then you can probs do 5/6 days (wouldn’t recommend 6) but 4 I always found is a nice sweet spot, recovery is key and 3 days it lovely. Then I train for anywhere between 30 mins to 1.5h hours deepening on how long i’m taking between sets/talking/setting up exercises
GG! More fun and a littel bit harder is mirror for collector😂
In regard to workouts Ian a good 4-5 day split is more than enough . You could do PPL /upper - lower or you could do upper / lower x 2 . I have some workouts I can give you , free of course 🤙🏼
Hey Ryley i heard you were looking for a workout plan. What works best for a teenager is working out everyday because there is going to be times when you physically can’t workout. Like maybe a 4 day trip with your family and those will be your rest days. It’s just what worked best for me and helped me pack on a ton of muscle. (because rest days come no matter what when your a kid and those 3-4 days workout is only for deformed elderly men)
at the end of the day it comes down to preference. But if you know what you’re doing in the gym low volume high intensity is the most efficient way to gain muscle.
so in regards of working out:
start off with 3 days a week. do this until you stop being sore from your workouts, then step up to 4 days a week, till you stop being sore. do this till you hit 5-6 days a week working out, however this takes time. Recovery is probably more essential than working out, as that’s when your muscles actually get stronger. blowing your body out doesn’t built muscle. maybe if you get used to 3-4 days, up your workouts so you are a bit sore again before moving to 5-6 days a week. NEVER 7!!! REST RECOVERY IS ESSENTIAL
For the gym stuff, muscle growth only depends on proper progressive overload. You do that, you can work out for as little as 3 days a week or as much as 6. Simply a matter of preference
Both 3-4 or 5-6 days can build great muscle / strength it's just about choosing one that will make you the most consistent in total hours a week
If you haven’t already decided what to include in your program then Will Tennyson has a very comprehensive video regarding building muscle and strength, definitely go over his videos!
5 or 6 days a week is the best for gaining muscle. If you do a push pull legs type of program I’d probably spend around 2/3 hours in the gym. But if you train one muscle group a day you should be fine with 45 min to an hour.
It really depends on you trying different things and seeing what works, I changed my split so that I hit everything basically twice a week now and have seen a lot of growth. Nothing more than 90 min in the gym is fine.
I work out for 3 hours average 5 days a week but mainly just drilling repetitive motions for sports but if u wanna build muscle I feel like shorter sessions with 3 days workout and heavy weight with intense workouts will build more muscle
Hey Ian, basically to gain muscle you need to break it by doing exercise, and when repairing it will grow, big big guys usually do 6 days a week of work out, but they alternate the muscles they use each day, (because you can target specific one and let the other rest), I have a really good channel than explain it better, and also with food advice, it is interest you like this message and I will answer below! (btw I do 2-3 and I still have gains and it is very good already, but optimal gain to become big big and try hard is 5-6 days a week)
I think that if you can handle 5 days a week, that's ideal. No need to push for 6 days. Recovery plays a signifant role as well.
Also anything after two hours of working out is a waste.
I do push pull leg 6 days a week for 1:30 minutes. Just make sure you find good exercises that are fun + give growth. Gl big guy
Ian loves getting the souls out his gang😈 9:05
I find that training 4 days a week to be ideal for natural athletes since we cant recover from workouts as easily as juiced up bodybuilders, I recommend doing 10-12 total weekly sets taken to or close to failure for major muscles (chest,shoulder, back, quads etc..) and 4-8 sets for minor muscles (biceps, triceps, calves).
Lets go Ian!❤
Love that Ian posts when I get off work👍
I'm doing upper/lower body workout so 2x Upper and 2x lower but it also depends what you prefer
GOAT77 out with another banger ❤
11:10 low intensity workouts are trash, I recommed push pull legs split, i can send you my split if you want, its really simple easy to do and deadly for building muscle, i would definately recommend going 5+ days a week, because i have tried almost every split and this is most efficent one from all of them ❤
Well, it really depends on what works for you. I go like 3 times a week now because of schedule and time but it could actually be more effective to work out less in a week. 1 hr is usually enough to get a good workout.
What works best for me for strength training is 4, sometimes 5 days a week. I find going too much slows me down. But this is just what works for me
If u have time to go 5-6 times a week then go.
Do ppl (push, pull, legs program)
Depends on how intense the workout is, I would say 4 if it's on the intense side and 5 if not
I go to the gym 3 days a week maybe 4. Hit all the muscles but I go till failure on most sets. Depends on how you wanna go and how often.
Matches against Riley of the failing variety are so much fun. Looking forward for the next 2v2 tournament with you and Riley though
ian: I don't know how we're going to do "X THING"
Ian: Immediately proceeds to always do "X THING"
'm not a pro trainer, but I do have a really impressive (natti) physique. I follow a 4-5 day PPL split, inspired by Jeff Nippard. Just try to go hard and really feel the squeeze. If you go at it with enough intensity, you can be done in 1 hour. I usually take a bit longer, sort of procrastinating between the pain. Food-wise, just eat fairly clean with enough protein. After you build enough muscle, you basically can only eat too little, so just go at it
Nothing beats when Ian wrongfully calls the names of the cards in clash royale such as “Big Purple Thing”
6 days a week high intensity, 300mg tren ace, 500mg test, 200mg d-bol. is the most optimal personally
Man this Ryley intros always cracks me up 😂
Finally, Ian plays egolem. I’ve been waiting for this day 😂😂 so much skill!
Man being done with work AND getting a new Ian video? It is not getting better than this 😄 ... At least mid week 😁
I workout 3 times a week for strength training. I workout for about an hour and a half each day I go but I enjoy the extended rest time b/w workouts.
I startet with Push pull leg * Push pull. So Training 5 days a week with high volume. I then changed the plan to push with bicep, pull with tricep, legs and shoulders/arms. So 4 days, it’s working pretty well for me💪🙏🏼
I have to add that I also changed to lower volume but high intensity. Greetings from Germany🙏🏼
Do 6 days a week push pull legs to start out focus on protein intake training 12-15 reps per set
5-6 times it is better. Also do pushups as they help build body strength
I work for a supplement company and just wanted to let you know, proteins and creatine is the best way to improve mass and strength naturally. I've been taking protein 5 days out of 7 for 6 months now and i've gone up 25 pounds. Keep it up buddy!
Training every muscle group twice a week ideal. İf you have time and not gonna skip leg days 5 or 6 day workout routine is fine and make sure to be on a calorie surplus, if you can’t do more than 4 days it is good to split your workout as 2 upper and 2 lower day and if you are gonna train 3 days a week it should be a full body workout rather than split so it depends on how much time and energy you have
People are built different. different bodies can handle different volumes
See how it feels like
If at the end of your meso you are feeling fresh and strong you can raise volume (if you want to)
If at the end of your meso you feel fatigued and beaten up you have to lower volume
The way you structure your weekly volume has much less impact than amount of volume
(check maximum recoverable volume)
I personally do full-body 3-5X per week
for intermediate full body gives enough stimulus for growth, but doesn't beat up my joints as much
(check full-body split or modified ppl split)
Hey @ian77,can you make video about how to switch to other accounts now,because i think lot of us don't understand how to do it now.Thanks ❤
Royale api say that logbait is a good matchup for the deck 60-68 for the egolem. But the bomb tower makes it harder. I know ryley always say he don t have the matchup but I think that for this time he does not have the matchup. The only good card is bomb tower because arrows do a lot of values and goblin gang too. The pump is always a 1 negative trade so I don’t rly see how you win with logbait if the egolem player does not make a bad move
These videos are part of my daily routine
30mins-1hour for working out is plenty. 5-6 days a week is also optimal
Any low skill deck Ian plays will make his opponents look 0 skill
I think if you have time for it 6 days a week in the gym is best, but 3-5 days is also good, it’s really up to personal preference
It is so much better to workout 3-4 days a week to build strength and muscle, if you were just running and wanted the frail runner’s body then you could work out every day but to put on mass you need a full body split working out 4 days maximum. Eventually 5 but only elite bodybuilders need that kind of split
im usually a hog eq player but played this deck and got thru m1 m2 m3 in like an hour lmao
4-5 is great imo only downside i can think of is having to make perfeect usage of your time for school stuff
Scientifically there is no reason to work out for more than 2 hours lifting weights. 1-1.5 hours is optimal. If you are really pushing your body each time i think throwing 2-3 rest days in is beneficial. Really focus on just building the mind-muscle connection at first. Get good at using the specific muscle you want instead of just moving the weight however it will go.
