hey guys my work outs r seeming to get longer and longer because of muscle confusion i do 3 different workouts for each muscle worked that day . i was wondering if i can shorten it like say 0ne workout per muscle group or would that hurt me.thanks bros

Give us an example of your routine.
Remember, you grow when you are out of the gym, not in the gym, you odn't want to be there a long time.

ok for example if i have arms ill train bis and tris and forarms. now ill do 3 exercises for bis (hammer curls,sit down curls and bar bell curls) tris and forarms same thing 3 work outs each so thats 9 exercises at 4 set of 10 and by time i get done its 2 hours later.

[admin]

Take less rest in between sets.
You can also try alternating bis and tris with less rest in between.

2 hrs is ridiculous pros dont lift that long Take the advice from the other guys above in and out 1-2 minutes between sets is plenty...Superset bis and tris if you want to cut down some serious time...Just my 2 cents..My workouts very seldom take 1hr. 30 and thats with 30 mins of cardio..Are you including cardio in that 2 hr window?

[huskie2020]

no.. no cardio in my workout. i dont talk to anyone at the gym for one thing my gym is at my house lol but i get it. i dont take to much time between sets its just 9 workouts is hard to do in an hour when i do 4 sets of 10 of each .

[syuppy]

wow bro your workout is way overboard . with all your reps together thats 360 reps !!!!!! thats is just plain wear and tear on the body. try uping the weights and do maybe 3 sets of 8-10 ..........imo

[admin]

yeah, usually my first exercise I will do an extra set or two to get warmed up, and start light, and work my way up. But once I get going I will only do 3 sets per exercise.

How many total sets is your workout..Explain what you men by 9 workouts do you mean exercises?
Im not sure i understand what you mean by 9 workouts heres an example of what i did yesterday for chest and tris ..I guess i would say im in the intermdiate range as far as that goes very far from beginner and not advanced either..IMO
bench press
135 for 10
185 10
225 8
275 5
315 4
355 4
275 15
incline bench
135 10
185 10
225 5
275 4
225 10
that was it for chest
triceps all i did was close grip benches
135 for 10
185 10
225 7
275 4
225 10 then drop sets with maybe 10-15 seconds rest
205 7
185 7
165 7
145 10
that was my entire wprkout. including warmups was 21 sets and i know for sure that was plenty..Thats not a normal workout just what i did yesterday..Usually after benchpreses ill do dumbell inclines or barbell inclines 3 sets then either pec deck or flyes supersetted with dips for 2 sets..Then for triceps i would do close grip bench for 4 sets then 3 sets of skull krushers and 3 sets of cable pushdowns/pressdowns and alternating weeks will do the triceps in a tris set fashion....Concentrate your workouts on compound moves first..10 - 12 sets should be plenty per body part.. yes im a bit sore from that workout..Every 6-8 weeks either change workouts exercises or the order of exercises.However i alwys start my workouts with a compound move such as bencpress/incline bench press deadlifts squats some form of seated barbell overheadpress/military press r dumbell..Theese are what work for me and are just suggestions. You shoul be resting no more than 1-2 minutes betwen sets and 3-5 minutes between body parts if you feel you need to..Looking at your stats i would have to say that you are overtraining you doing way to much..Post up your exact workout like i did so we can help critique it for you..Im not trying to be a jerk just trying to help you..how long you been training? I personally hav not missed a workout in the last15 months and probably not more than 10 workouts since i started lifting again almost 4 years ago..May will be 4 years

Looks like you modified and cut up your workout. I dont agree with this too much its very minimal lifts, and outrageous weight. It looks like your just going for power lifts while trying to go lean??? I dont think you will see many gains from this but if on cycle you should expect a bulk in fat.. what are you planning on doing...Power lifts?

I have been working out for 5-6 years hard and have never touched the juice until a year back. My gains in size and defines and cuts have always been from 8-12 reps. While cutting your going to need some cardio. Your diet is a big key but as us bulkers and juice users it is hard to stay on a strict pro body building diet so once or twice a week we cheat and eat wrong food's depending on cycle all decides on how much fat you are going to store and going to burn, so cheat days are never too bad on cycle.

[admin]

Why would he gain fat from his workout? :/

[basiclute009]

depending on diet, but this workout looks like a bulker, im sure your not going to just run in the gym, throw around some weight and call it a day.. you should be eating pretty lean for something like this, and i checked his stats brotha.

[basiclute009]

not to put any1 down or anything, thats not why im posting this im just trying to explain some things around, this jas0n guy is abviously a beginner and should probably stick within a limit of bounderies from hurt joints, back problems, shoulder problems, 8-15 reps is always good for a lean and 6-10 is great fro a bulker but 5 reps doesnt cut it when your throwing it up 10 more times again... again no shit talking to any1 just kind of picking at your workout.

[admin]

I aim for 4-6 reps whether I'm dieting or not.

[basiclute009]

what are your stats or future goals. to me 4-6 is injury but 6 is a good rep as long as the 4 are clean reps and the last 2 are effort

I also do plenty of cardio
