how many of you guys hit the iron 6 times a week?
« on: July 09, 2017, 06:23:55 AM »
now sundays is for church so that leaves out 7 times per week.

but 6 times, i feel is optimal if youre serious about the iron game.

im currently putting together a 6 times per week routine, any suggestions welcome!! ill probably hit each muscle group 3 times per week, looks like it.

here's some benefits:

1 - if you feel good going to the gym its better to feel good every day than just a few times a week.
2 - if you get energy after being in the gym, say you start your day off, then its better to do that every day.
3 - if you got discpline problems going to the gym, it's easier if it's a every day thing, rather than just a few times a week.
4 - if you miss a day its not a big deal, however let's say you only train legs once a week and miss that, then you have to wait a whole week before you can try again.
5 - more is better formula, works out like this:

person 1 - train legs once a week  = 52 times per year.
person 2 - train legs three times per week = 156 times per year.

even with less intensity chances are pretty good person 2 will have better gains.

good point, with more frequent training recovery becomes more important.

but i feel diet to gets easier if you train every day, you dont make a difference between diet and supplements on training days vs off-days. you eat the same every day. it's easier to establish a habit when its every day the same thing.

another point.

say there's a hot chic at the gym would you rather bump into her once a twice a week, if lucky or would you want to increase your chances by being at the gym EVERY DAY?

imagine that scenario:

person 1 - a complete moron who thought going to the gym once or twice a gym was enough because he was afraid of "overtraining", ended up being alone on a msg board.

person 2 - hit the gym every single day, got noticed by the chics for being serious and not just a casual lifter but someone who lives the lifestyle, ended up being with a hot chic.

im thinking of making it really short and simple. just three exercises per day. of course no deads or squats!

just three exercises in and out the gym. boom! probably something like 3 sets of 10. tried 5x5 but im not digging it, feels like just when youre getting started you have to stop.

1-3 now just to keep the structure strong ( I have been at it almost 30 years). Outside the gym I do a lot of brisk walking, and have a physical job on top.

good to hear.

im looking forward to this. i have a real hard time just going a few times a week, some shit comes up or ill get sick and before i know it its been weeks since last time...

i think its far easier to establish a habit by doing it every day.

i also think something can be said for doing somekind of exercise every day for the body, i just feel its better.

4 days usually, sometimes 5
If off work for a few weeks sometimes train every day, mainly due to boredom

Darren....so what's final answer on letting getbig film a group of black men having sex with you?

And I don't understand the PM about bringing them "round Tulisa's flat"?

Who or what is Tulisa and why is she/he round or flat?

6 days per week. Each bodypart twice per week. 20 sets per bodypart. Even upper forearms. Rory and Chet Yorton style.
