How long do you train for?

[Inducer]

2-4 hrs per session 4 days a wk.

Naparm (dave) is real strong; say around 290-300kg deadlift at 82.5-85kg.

Well there you go.

 

[Sticky]

Lol.

Dave pulled 300 again today, though he looks heavier than 85.

You need to increase volume to get stronger
At some point you can't add any more weight fast enough to create enough stimulus
So you have to train for longer
Whether it's longer training sessions or more training sessions
Generally the people that don't train for long do so very often and vice-versa

My sessions are currently under an hour but I do this 6x a week and it's pretty much non-stop lifting. Finish the set, change the plates, swig of water then the next set... If I took 5 minutes between sets lol I'd be training at least half an hour longer. This is just me explaining what I do

And you're the biggest baddest mother trucker here

 

[HSVJake]

1 1/2 hours 4 days a week. Training for transformation more than strength but totals now 270 @ 98kg

 

[Sticky]

If that's your sq/b/d total, I'd focus on getting a little stronger.

You and Zach are slightly different.

Headphones in, music pumping, 45minutes in and out. Love it when its quick. Lactic acid build up feels great too.

Same workout with partner can take 1.25 - 1.5hours

Touche.

You and Zach are slightly different.

Why? Because he's naturally better than me so he gets to train harder?
Not seeing the logic here

 

[Sticky]

Zach was in the gym for 5 hours today.

Zach was in the gym for 5 hours today.

Not being sarcastic here, but is that really necessary? My longest day is around 2 hours and that includes all my pre-workout rolling/mobility, working up to 3RMS on squat/bench/clean and accessories as well.

If it's his hobby and what he enjoys doing and is around his friends then why not?
