This kind of stuff irritates me.
At my gym there is 2 cages to squat and dead lift at.
One guy was doing curls on one of them and the other guy was squatting.
I wanted to do deads.
I am thinking, because he was doing 45 pound curls using an olympic bar that he could have used one of those pre-set weight bars they have.
Or, dumbells, but no, I asked him how many more sets, he said a while.
Next he was doing up right rows with the bar.
I was forced to wait till dude was done and had not other alternitive to do my deads.
That dude could have used any other method of doing his lifts anywhere in the gym.
I thought that was a bit inconsiderate.

i know what you mean, its just ignorance. when i was at the gym yesterday i was using the mirror at te squat rack to watch my deadlift form but i noticed two guys were waiting to squat so i just moved back for them as their is a few o-bars avail , so no harm done. i use a diff mirror and dont hold up there training, but there have been many times i have waited for the talkers. tats why staring monday im going to go earlyier so its empty.

Re: length of training sessions?

I voted 45-60mins which is my usual. Though a saturday is longer, about 1h 15m. Cardio sessions in between though are 30mins.

Re: length of training sessions?

If i didnt have people in there constantly chatting i think i could do a routine in 60mins..

BUT

5mins warm up
2 muscle groups each day
20 mins cardio

Thats easily 1 hour 30 there. I struggle very much to get it lower than that. Especially with folk talking all the time.

I try and keep it to 30-45 minutes but always end up being in the gym for about an hour.

Re: length of training sessions?

At the moment generally 2 hours plus per session,

but bodybuilding which i know most on here do is different to powerlifting and strongman training, sesssions are generally much longer than bodybuilding routines.

Re: length of training sessions?

It usually takes me around 40 minutes, but once we get our cable machine up and running I'll probably be spending up to an hour working out.

Depends.

If my rest times are long (2-5 mins) it can take up to 1hr15mins, but I try to keep it under an hour otherwise I'm just too fatigued!
