times per week to weight train

[Cobrabuzz]

I was curious to hear from you gurus on here how often you all lift per week? right now i am going 6X per week, I only take 1 day off usually during the week because the weekends are less packed at the time. my gym is most packed on weekdays. do you think 6 times per week is too much or should i try something different?

I lift 2 times per day 6 days per week. At least 12 training sessions per week, it's worth splitting the sessions.

I’ve found that 4x a week is my sweet spot

 

[Mobster]

4x. Those who are doing 6x need to show me the results.

4-5 is perfect.. .6 times starts to get you over training and that is not a place you want to be..

I used to train 6 days now I stick with 5

I aim for 4 days per week and hit that most times. There are weeks where I only get 3 in but that is not often.

I recommend 2 to 3 days off each week. You grow while resting. Not in the gym. Sometimes less is actually more

depends on the intensity of your training... i try to go everyday and do something even if it's just cardio and abs. i'll take a day off when i can't go for some reason or another

 

[Tazz]

3-5 depending on how intense

6 times per week for me, but 2 of thouse days I lift lighter and focus on more cardio
