![]() ![]() | Re: length of training sessions? I voted for 1 and half hours. But sometimes its a little more or even a lot less. Depends how i've split the odyparts that day with consideration of my shifts etc with pre planning the week. ie, it could be a full on Bi's, Chest then tri's day with Abs in at the end and if im feeling good and no time constraints i may even add calvesas calves i may do a few days consequtively with lower sets each day or thinking of shifts i may have an all out calf session with more volume etc. This is when it can take me 1 1/2+ but i'd tend to know i have to have the following day or two off due to shift work, it rests my CNS then and gives time to regroup physically. Alternatively i may have to split the above and just do chest and the full on calf seesion as above. This then may only take 1/2 an hour. Keeps me guessing never mind the body. Keep it instinctive. |

| Wondering how people have the time to do all this over-complicating | Re: length of training sessions? 50 mins seems the best for me to keep the benefit vs time spent in gym ratio in the correct balance. If people did less talking and more training they could cut it right down. Also doing 25 exercises for each bodypart is all crap. Last night for back I did 3 sets of wide grip chins 3 sets of deads 3 sets barbell rows went home and had a night relaxing |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: length of training sessions? I have no answer and the time of a session doesnt mean anybody is right or wrong Eastern bloc trainers do hours upon end with massive rests between sets Lactic acid training can last 20-30 minutes with minimal rest Sprint drills may last an hour End of the day train to a plan, not a time and understand what you need to do to either grow, gain strength or shrink and go with that Other than for the purpose of idle chit chat i see no logic in comparing the length of time spent in a gym. For me, currently i do 9 sets max, i spend 10-20 minutes trying to worm my way into the pants of the receptionist and the other 30 minutes flexing my guns in front of everbody. I deem this hour to be very productive wholst others would think it to be a waste of time.

A trip over to the supplements forum and a post in english will get you get some ideas. Its not about supplements though my friend, they are the icing on a cake you should already have baked, taken out of the oven and let cool.
