Monday: chest, biceps, triceps (2 hours)
Tuesday: lower body cardio, squats, abs (2 hours)
Wednesday: back, lats, shoulders (2 hours)
Thursday: lower body cardio, squats, abs (2 hours)
Friday: upper body cardio - boxing, rowing, push ups, pull ups (2 hours)
Saturday: rest
Sunday: rest

honestly if it takes you 2 hours to do things like chest,bis,tris you most likely
are not using shit for intensity

you should be able to completely fry them in 1.25 hours tops

[monstercalves]

5'5 140lbs.

stop doing as much cardio, use your boxing for cardio and eat everything and train like fuck.

always be eatin more, always be training harder and heavier....and be as consistant as an immortal nun.

You're undertraining, specially if you're natural.
2 Hours a day = 22 Hours a day doing nothing.
Overtraining is a myth.

LIVE TO EAT!!! EAT TO TRAIN!!! TRAIN TO EAT!!!!

Even this is too much, methinks. If you can't hit it in 50-60 mins, then you won't. Going longer is just diminishing returns.

Exactly.

If you are able to train longer than an hour, you're not working hard enough.

unless your training for a road race there is no reason on earth to be doing cardio.  It saps energy, will not build muscle, and it will shorten your life span.  focus on gaining control and strength instead and your physique will improve along with your ability to pose properly.

what a pussy

I train for 7 hours twice a day for  6 days..only resting on sundays to bath and eat my 1 once weekly meal. The rest of the week I eat a handfull of raisins every 2 hours.

[shiftedShapes]

Exactly.

If you are able to train longer than an hour, you're not working hard enough.

this is BS

bodybuilding is about anerobic work.  If you do longer workouts and take longer breaks you will be able to subject yourself to greater anerobic volume.  If you are going for cardio train for a marathon.

in all fairness, cardio can be used as a means to be a caloric defecit.

I always feel better when I eat more and do cardio..rather than just cutting calories..then I feel weak and always hungry

no this is not fair because it is not true.

cardio is not only an ineficient means of creating a caloric deficit...it is unhealthy, and saps energy for real training.  You need to work on your will power.  Stillness is often optimal.

fuck you and your will power..today I am going to a BBQ..and I am going togo all out and yes, I will be carrying home BBQ ribs and other goodies for a late night snack.

and yes, tomorrow I will be doing cardio first thing in AM to help with the guilt..oh the shame of it

last night I ate close to 3lbs of meat....assortment of lean and moist beef brisket, pork ribs, prime rib, sausage, then mac and cheese, corn pudding, lemon bars, brownies, ice cream, and more.

This is not normal for me though.  there is plenty of room for indulgence if you maintain a deficit on average.  Your running may help you to deal with guilt but it will have very little effect on your average caloric balance.  Why don't you plan your training and consumption rationally rather than basing your behavior on feelings of guilt.  Deal with the guilt through quiet reflection no need to spin your wheels.

[Pete Dimano]

Exactly.

If you are able to train longer than an hour, you're not working hard enough.

Thinking like that will prevent you from ever adding any appreciable mass, Goatboy.
