Length of workout.
« on: June 09, 2018, 05:54:10 AM »
What is the adequate amount of time to work out? I used to do long workouts, as I was always into high volume workouts. For example, back workouts used to take me 90 minutes (1.5 hours). I didnt necessarily think that more was better, I just enjoyed longer workouts. As of more recently, I switched to much shorter rests between sets, as well as reduced volume, thus making my workouts much shorter. Yesterday, my back workout took about 30-40 minutes. Does this really matter?

Nice work SF....back looks pretty good.

Incorporate some deadlifts to build thickness, seems to a bit lacking.

Also, do some hex bar DLs, then email your max and you weight to Flintstones so we can know how fast your are.

Length of workout doesn't dictate results.  What dictates results is INTENSITY, INTENSITY, INTENSITY!!!!!!!

thats a 20 min back, 15 for the genetically elite... my personal workouts r around 10, which i consider leisurely, thanks to my constant relaxed state.

Always always 55 minutes. That’s with a nice warm up, then hittingbthatbnody part
As hard as I can. Can’t go more than that, as I’m dripping sweat and exhausted. Sometimes my young trading partner, who’s all juiced up, taps out, can’t handle the pace. Works for me.

SF1900 your back is ok (not great). Decent thickness. Good for the gym or club, but not enough muscle to win a state level NPC show.

Also I would consider adding reverse grip barbell rows and nautilus pullovers

I do not deadlift because of a past double inguinal hernia.   :-\ :-\ :-\

2.5 hours is ridiculous. I cannot stay in the gym that long.
