How many Hours and Days per week do you train.

We do this topic to death on musclechat but its only really the same people who contribute as there are strong conflicting views here (obviously

). Just wondering generally particularly the competitors on here.....

How many days per week and how many total hours per week do you train for.

Personally 4 days a week.

Around 4.15 hours total.

i train,

Mondays (45mins)
Wednesday (45mins)
Friday (45mins)

Possibly looking to change this to 6 days on, obviously my sets would have to come down so workouts would be a lot shorter. but each body part would be hit twice a week instead of once. Still looking into this.

Train abbs every day for 10 minutes

i switch it constantly. recently was doing 3 on 1 off, gunna switch to 2 on 1 off when i resume training.

usually just one bodypart per workout with the exception of arms.

each workout usually takes about 40 mins except for quads which is around 1hr 10mins i guess.

the deciding factor for me here is, how busy is your life ?
if i did nothing all day, i'd train more often. likewise, if you work 12 hours a day, then less frequent workouts would probably be better.

oh, i don't train abs.

**LeeB** · 21-11-2006, 04:56 PM

i train 5 days a week... with each session lasting anything from 45 mins to an hour and a quarter!

Nick500 · 21-11-2006, 06:19 PM

Same as above two responses, 60 minutes max, more often than not 50 minutes, and now only one body part per day but several variations.

mon/tues/thurs/fri

ranging from hour to hour and half for weights, and up to 2hours, if doing cardio.

training used to be 3hours 6 days a week, before i improved my knowledge regarding volume, splits and days off.
