How many days a week do you lift?

[Jericoe]

Right now im following madcows so im lifting 3 days a week. Every time i see someone stronger then me say they train 5-7 days a week it makes me feel like i dont lift enough, but my main goal is strength. So how many days a week do you guys lift?

shh no questions only madcows now

[Gavin93]

Madcows, the way I see it, your body needs time to recover. You don't gain muscle while working out, you gain it after working out, during the rest.

[Jason2459]

How do you define "lift." I train 4 days a week split between max effort squat/dealifting training, max effort bench training, dynamic effort squat/deadlift training, and dynamic effort bench training. The other 3 days a week I'm doing GPP and prehab/rehab work. So, depending how you classify this I either "lift" 4 days a week or 7.

[Lionhearted1]

Im in the gym all 7 days this week. Heavy lifting monday weds and sat, speed work tues and friday, conditioning thurs and sunday.


That being said plenty of people get great results lifting 3 days a week

Three days per week.

The people lifting 5-7 days per week are able to do so because they are doing less volume/intensity in each session than if they trained three days per week. So just do madcows.

5-6
Monday-Deadlift
Tuesday-Heavy bench
Wednesday-GPP, Cardio and bodybuilding type sh!t

7 because I hate myself.

[7399martyn]

heavy, full body, every day.

[GetBig3000]

I train 6 days a week, heavy, high (volume 30 sets+) the more you eat and train the stronger your going to get. Overtraining is a myth, it does exsist but it is not a bad thing.
Also your body is clever and will adapt to the stress that is but on it.

[WHT_LIGHTNING]

6-7

usually just 6 though

Oly lifts M/W/Sat

Front squatting on Mon/Thurs as well
Back Squatting on Tues/Fri
Usually Push Press twice a week as well and will often throw in some hang snatches on Thursday as well and do some type of clean or snatch pulls on Thurs or Fri

[Torrtrefireto]

I usually do 3 sessions a week 2.5-3 hours a session. I find it helps me mentally and lets me get more pumped up. If I did 6 short sessions I'd never get excited for the gym

I get butterflies when Im expecting a PR.

4 lift days a week for me, or 3 and a cardio day. Used to run, now I just jog up a hill by my house.

[muscle_g]

Mon- Bench
Tue- Squat
Wed- Aux
Thu- Declines

Well do you think you could pass on some of your advice on how to increase height/mass? Seeing as you were 5'8" 185 an hour ago you must be doing something right. Troll.

[neilmorgan77]

0.2-0.3 days/week

[Link815]

3-4 days a week. I try to do 4, but I work rotating shifts, and my gym closes early on weekends, so sometimes it ends up only being 2 or 3 times. Ideally I'd go:
Monday: Bench
Tuesday: Squat
Thursday: Bench
Friday: Squat

I'm doing Madcow intermediate as well.
I'm lifting 5 days a week and hitting calves, upper traps, forearms, and neck on non-madcow days because those are really the only body parts that really aren't hit by the exercises in the program.
I feel like 3 days a week is enough though due to CNS fatigue and the fact that you'll be hitting PRs every week after week 4.

[that1otherguy]

For a long time I used to lift heavy 3x/wk but this past yr I've been sticking with around 2x/wk and have still been able to advance, but I also do cardio now 3x/wk too.

[Tyro]

3 but they are starting to be way too long, going to start 4 days a week. If my schedule gets too chaotic im lucky to train twice a week

[Brendan135]

Lifting a 5,3,1 program with Tueday Bench, Thursday Squat, Saturday OHP and Sunday Deadlifts. All other days are accessory work/cardio.

[kjj325]

3 days per week because I can barley do that without my body crying.

[babylover]

Monday - Squat
Tuesday - Off
Wednesday - Bench + chest
Thursday - Deads + back
Friday - Delts, I focus a lot on rear delts
Saturday - Secondary bench, speed bench + heavy tri work
Sunday - Abso****ingloutely nothing.

[klaery]

I do 4 days and do mad cows 5x5. I split the Monday session up into a squat day and a bench/row day. This gives me time on these days to do all my accessory stuff i wouldn't otherwise get done.
