How much time do you spend at the gym (lifting only)

[Danzig747]

Don't add in cardio, locker room, BSing with friends, twittering between sets....but just straight lifting

I am just curious.... I spend 35 minutes doing 6 exercises every other day lifting.

[ChrisWorrell]

about an hour average

[1sknnyJ]

one hour, give or take five minutes.

[bambam2008]

probably 30 - 45 minutes.......

[glen666]

40 minutes lifting 40 minutes cardio depending on what I'm doing leg day are quicker for some reason.

[KublaiKhan]

Three days per week, forty minutes to an hour each day. A day with more compounds means more rest between sets, so those days are usually closer to an hour.

Tack on about six to twenty-five minutes of running (or, if I'm really drained or really lazy, no running). If I have just a bit of energy left, I run a fast mile on the treadmill. If I'm feeling like a real warrior (which has become increasingly rare as my cut's continued), I'll go for the full 5k. Nowadays though, I've been doing my running outdoors on days I don't lift...the treadmill is boring.

40 minutes. i bring a stopwatch to time all my rest periods. it really makes the gym more effective.

[paddrino]

1) 10 minute low intensity cardio / stretch time
2) ~45 min to an hour on the weights
3) typically an hour of low intensity cardio at ~6% incline

[FunAndSun]

Between 1hr-1.5hrs. Depends on bodypart, and time of day, i generally lift harder/less rest in morning than if I go at night.

[Maikeri]

during a cut 35-45 mins of lifting, 30-45 mins of carido

during my bulk right now, about 45-60 mins lifting and only 20 mins carido 2x a week

[phal]

Lifting 45 - 60 min, on ab days I'll add 15 minutes or so.

[Shreddersteve]

No more than 45 minutes.

Sometimes I lose track of time and go a little over.

[Ancher]

1 hour - 1h20m.

[th3pwn3r]

At the gym, NONE! I bought a full size bench along with enough weights to do my damage here at home. I spend at least an hour lifting 4 out of 7 days a week.

[freedevil]

1 hr 10 mins give or take 5

[Ferios]

~1 hour

[S0VERE1GN]

1 hour

[_OZ_]

45 minutes lifting 3 times a week. If I had Powerblocks (saving up!) I could cut the time down to 30 minutes as a lot of time is wasting changing the weights on my spinlock adjustable dumbbells.

[LPMNDCTE]

1 hour taking breaks between reps and sets of 1:00 - 1:30 minutes... Sometimes the breaks are a bit longer if I cant find a certain weight plate in the morning...


Lifting - MWF

Cardio - TThSat

once I am able to buy a house or get a bigger apartment I am gonna workout at home I think


I fu**ing hate it when machines, racks, benches are taking up by other people who may or may not be working out. I hate people who chit chat at the gym while they are on the machine I want.

[Brahesthetics]

1h20m

[Bodybreak]

30 min to 60 min

[brandonc14]

About 45 mins if the gym is pretty empty. But depends if I lift heavy [on back days], e.g like deadlifts, then I might go to 1 hour and 15 mins or so.

[SophieM]

45-50 minutes 5 days a week

Well, if it's literally *just* the time spent moving the weight, it's like 5 minutes or less.

With rest between sets, 25-30 minutes.

[Manikuba]

50min usually here but on my bicep days i do abs right after so 40min for biceps then 20-25min for abs ends up being like 1.1-1.2hrs of lifting that day

[trance__dreamer]

straight lifting: ~30 mins; sometimes as low as 15 if i have a few classes that day, but rarely over 30 mins. w/ my core work afterwards + warm up before-hand, i'm usually there for another 30; 60 mins in total gym time.

[fitmember]

Close to an hour

And i dont really talk to anyone let alone twitter (LOL)

When i was going to the Y id put my phone in my locker

[KyoDivine]

including rest time around 50min-80min
5days a week

[Throwdown515]
