ad

Hi Bro's,
Hey, How many times a week do you guy's train? and for how long are you in the gym for? I was traning when on my last cycle about 6 times a week and cardio every day for 30-60 mins. Ended up in the gym for like 2 hours.
It was on a cutting cycle and it worked very well but felt like I did'nt put on the super muscle I thought I would. Test Prop 450mg a week, NPP 350mg a week & dbol tabs only 30mg a day.
Eatting was super clean & healthy, 6-8 small meals a day. The best stuff :-)
I was maybe overtraining & doing too much cardio.
What's a typical week for you guys?

There is no cookie cutter for this. I flux that four days was best for me, cardio amount is also dependent on the individual goal. If your an ectomorph with low bf you'll want to limit cardio yet if you bf is on the high side you'll want to cut down to where you can really see cuts, then build from there. Each individual has to find what works best for them and that is part of the rewarding part of bodybuilding. Getting to know how your body reacts to different things.If your a hard vainer it may take years to accomplish goals that others accomplish in months without really putting much effort in. Yea it sucks to watch others gain without much effort, but that's just how it goes, stick with it and you'll get there.

I train 4 days weekly. Each body part twice weekly. I go hard in the paint with minimal breaks between sets. Each work out consist of 6 sets of ab exercises. I know i may be over training but this is how have I have to run it right now. With work and family to balance in between. No cardio for now. I am currently Running Tren E 200mg weekly and Test 400mg weekly. The Tren E messes with my Asthma as soon as I hit cardio so I won't cardio up until I am done with this cycle.

TRAIN HARD

I am training 4 days a week. Each body part twice a week. I switch things up each time (muscle confusion). Large muscle groups get 12-15 sets. Small muscle groups 9 sets.
Sample: Chest 1: Flat bench, decline bench, hammer inclines.
Chest 2: Incline bench, cable crossovers, decline hammer.
The emphasis changes so it help prevent over training...when training back it switches from pulldown to rowing motions.
Just my 2 cents.

That's a lot in my book. I train 4 days a week. I did chest today in 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Then did biceps that took 5 minutes. It's not about how much time you spend in the gym. But what you do with that time. For chest it was a warm up of the 3 movements for the day. Then just a superset with partials and double drops. Simple in and out and very effective. Just think Mike Mentzer High intensity training.

3 days on, one day off.

I have a home/garage gym. Simple and to the point. I can work out as long as I want and not have to worry
about closing or what have you. I have squat rack, bench , Blockhead dumbbells, 1500'lb worth of 45lb plates.
100'lb dumbbells. (looking for a 125 and 150's) and Powerglider. etc. I used to think I was missing the
gym. But im honestly not. I use the gym to supplement what im doing at home. Last DL work out I was
using 500lb plus and its just me and the rack.. this and the tunes up full blast in the garage..beats the gym..:)

I work out 6 out of 8 days ( 2 days rest).

Workout/Run/Run - Day off
Workout/Run/Run -Day off

Sounds like more cardio then work out right ? . My work outs are 2 hours. I knock the shit
out of my self on each work out day. takes me 48-72 hours to bounce back. So I do low
cardio to keep things moving. Its more of a powerlifting type work out, with cardio..

When I start to cycle.. going to PACK on pounds !!!

I'd burn out going ED. I used to do this same routine but learned to watch out for overtraining which is also part mental....

How much solid mass did you gain? I do three on...off...three on. If you had to do that much cardio maybe have lower bf before cycle do you can get away with lil or no cardio. Healthy clean meals and simply grow.

Off cycle 3-4 days per week
