How often do you train?

[smalls1]

As the title states how often do you train a week?

For gaining size do y'all prefer 3 day splits or 5 days a week?

Re: How often do you train?

Right now to put on size 4 days of intense weight training (back/chest, legs, shoulders/arms) and they keep rotating. Cardio is 4 days a week either spinning bike or HIIT.

Re: How often do you train?

I usually get four days but I've been trying to get back to five days per week. I currently do chest/bis, back/traps, shoulders/tris and legs. Calves are done every other training day. The biggest thing is to eat for your training. The more you train the more you need to eat and that is the rub.

6 when I can.... I hate rest days. My rotation typically is chest/ biceps, back, shoulders/ tris, legs then repeat with a rest day thrown in somewhere.

Re: How often do you train?

Iv been doing a 3 day split mon/wed/fri
Chest/ tris, bi's/ shoulders, legs/back. But I'm wanting to switch it up so I'm just gathering some ideas and see what works best for me. Thanks for all the replies. I'v done the 5 days a week in the past and yes you def gotta eat more that way.

Re: How often do you train?

I usually go 5 days. Take Saturday and Sunday off. Every once in awhile may take Wednesday off

Re: How often do you train?

I def get big strength bursts when I inadvertently take a few days off in a row... I have no doubt 4 days a week would likely be better for gains but the fact of the matter is when I do t train I get moody and antsy. I need the stress relief haha

Re: How often do you train?

Right now I train 4 days on, 1 day off. Old school split... Back / biceps, chest / triceps, shoulders, legs, day off, then repeat.

Re: How often do you train?

6 day split on this cycle and most of my others. i just change up what parts i hit 2x per week every 12 wks. i also know my body well enough to back off if i am injured or not recovering. i also try to squeeze in at least 2 cardios and up to 4 per week as well with my training. looks like this right now:

legs
chest/delts/light tris maybe cardio
back/light bis maybe eccentric less cardio
legs maybe eccentric less cardio
chest/delts/light tris cardio
back/light bis cardio
off
repeat

Re: How often do you train?

I stopped doing my arms on their own every week it's helped them grow more. I'll train 4 days one week then 5 days. I try to switch it up more than I used to.

Re: How often do you train?

I was just going to post this thread. So i went from a very high volume regiment to low volume. Im on a lean bulker now, what rep range is best for muscle size versus strength?
