3I have some appearance and functional goals, but also limitations when it comes to health and time. I do a 20ish minute full-body routine made up of compounds with a pair of dumbbells 3x/week and my body's slowly changing in the direction I want it to.2

44 - I need the rest days at my age! 🤣. I do c 2.5hrs per sess which includes 30 mins mobility and some warm ups before doing the lifts.2
-
7Daily, with the caveat that my workouts are only 40 to 60 mins in duration, I superset so there are no rest breaks in there, and my program is on a four day rotation so I'm not working same muscles two days in a row.1
-
3I almost picked 2, but went with 3. I do 2 days in the gym "heavy" and then 1 day with dumbbells or bodyweight.1
-
43 days of heavy lifting, 1 day of supplemental work to target weak points.1
-
55 training days with my program set by my powerlifting coach.1
-
3Push-Pull-Legs
In the near future, will start going six days per week, but will keep the three lifting days, the other three will be cardio-only. (Currently do cardio first, lifting second, but it does lead to long workouts. By splitting up, I hope to get in/out of the gym faster.)1 -
65 or 6 x per week, depending on my work schedule1
-
2twice per week...occasionally three. Lifting isn't a top priority for me and do it basically as a requirement for overall health and fitness and to help support my other activities. Most of my exercise is physical outdoor recreation like mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, etc.1

I'm somewhere between 2 & 4 days per week - I do a 531 program which is 4 day per week. Sometimes if I'm too busy , I will double up on the primary exercises and reduce or cut the assistance movements, and end up at 2 or 3 days1

M- F push/pull split alternating weekly focusing on foundational lifts with some accessory work.1 -
6I lift 6 days a week but I incorporate mobility movements as well, I do cardio everyday for 25 mins just bc I should...1

2I started a new Oly program. Supposed to be 3x per week, but dang...my CNS is blown the hell up after two sessions. Had my second session yesterday and I feel like I got hit by a mac truck today. Hopefully this is just an adaptation phase.2

I don't remember this from when I was doing Oly work in 2015/16. I probably had the same issue early on, but I just don't remember. I was fatigued after my first session, but not like this. I had deadlifts yesterday as part of my accessory work and it was 4x5 and I was already fatigued from the Oly lifts, so that's probably a big part of it...but they were relatively light @ about 60% of 1RM1 -

33 days for me. Not enough time with work, kids, and cardio. How do people make time for 5 days a week? Garage gyms?0

You can get a lot done in 30 minutes if you don't waste time on what is not important. Having some weights at home does help. The kids used to lift with the wife & Me . They started at a young age.0 -
5I plan on a Push-Pull-Legs-Recover-repeat, where recovery day is an hour or two of walk, bike, hike or run. I’ll take a full rest day when I feel that I need it, or if I can’t fit it in, which has typically been once every week or two.
Every 6-8 weeks, I’ll take a break for 5-8 days from lifting after which I’ll tweak the routine.0 -
4My goal is five but I usually get in 4 days.1
