    You don’t really need weight training every day

    Not sure how someone could weight train EVERY day, I'm usually too sore and need a day or two in between....

    Totally agree. Push pull legs rest repeat here and sessions 45 mins. I feel more than that is so called junk volume

    For better or worse, none of my fitness goals are aesthetic in nature. Doing nothing but 35-45 min of strength training a day would not be helpful.

    I do weight training 3 times a week, that is plenty! the other 3 I do cardio and then one day rest. BUT, I do as many pushups as I can in a row each day too.

    "30 to 45 mins of weight training a day is all you need."

    Not if you want to set a PB for a Century ride at age 59.....

    Or if you want to be ready for USAPL Nationals.

    And that 30 to 45 mins of weight training is going to get me ready to hike non-stop for 24 hours in the Scottish Highlands in two weeks, is it?

    If only I'd known, I could have had actual free time during my last eight weekends :'(

    You can if you do a bro split and only work 1 body part at a time. Not necessarily optimum or most time efficient. Personally, I like a 4 day upper/ lower split. Really depends on your goals. But hey, whatever floats the OPs boat enough to post a little humblebrag....

    It’s not about a set time per day for me. I’m following a programme. It’s 4 sessions a week and takes however long it takes depending on how much rest I choose to take between sets.
