At least four, but I'm trying to go for six (two upper body, two lower body, two cardio)

damn, yall live in the gym...5 days had me crazy, especially with how hard i was training

when i was with my trainer 5 days, 1.5 hrs on average, HIIT m-th, weights m-th lower - mon, chest/back - tues, arms/shoulders - wed, lower - thu, cardio/hiit & abs - sat

i'm taking a break now so I'm going 4-5 days, mostly cardio classes - spin (i forgot how fukkin on point spin makes my calves), kickboxing, insanity, 3 days lifting lower, upper, whole. i gained a lot of muscle with my trainer, so i'm just trying to maintain the muscle while losing fat

Anybody on here that was doing more than 5 days a week either burned out of plateaued. More than 5 days a week is excessive and the body needs rest.

I'll hit 5-6 days a week. Just switch up what I do on 2 of those days and speed it up and do lighter more rep work.

I feel like strength plateaus happen because of diet more than workout IMO.

I know by doing 2 days 1 day off each week I have way more energy to lift and run. But I lift and do 50 minutes of cardio 5 days a week :manny:
