Who's this "everyone"? Where are these "articles"? cafemom.com doesn't count
A good training under 60' is difficult to be had
>40' run, then weight training
wrong, glycogen depletion and muscle exertion will lower your weight training performance. limit pre-workout cardio to 10' max
after workout you can have all the cardio you want - if you can happily get 30' cardio *after* workout you probably haven't had a challenging enough training session.

>after workout you can have all the cardio you want
Yeah, and eat your own gains by consuming protein in the muscle tissues.

This is so wrong on so many levels I have to surrender. You can't argue with autismal kids.

> 40 + 20 + 30 = 2.5 hrs
Uh... I think you made up some time here... This is only 1.5 hrs

>>36764076
You realize that during workout muscles burn the fat IN muscles - not in fat deposite areas?

Once its gone, it takes time for the whole process of transmitting fat from deposites to muscles to complete - and that time is in hours.

So after you burn the fat in muscles and blood stream, muscles start to burn the material that is available - themselves.

Understandable that /fit/ is a meme board, but least educate yourself a bit.

do you think that he doesn't take any rests inbetween exercises?

>>36764159
Actually thats not it. Missing one hour is exact the weight training. The summed are running, bike, pool.

thats whole /fit/ is around.

Like for example advicing them to lift with calories deficite.

I like it

>40 minute run, then (unspecified time lifting) then 20 minutes more cardio, then 30 minutes of pool..which is cardio.

I'm sorry but if you are trying to make any amount of muscle gains (which I assume you are because this is /fit/) then you obviously are not training hard enough during your lifting sessions.

45-60 minutes will be enough if you are lifting heavy enough with short enough rest periods.

Same goes with your 40 minute run. How slow are you running? Are you running slowly purely for calorie burn, or are you actually trying to achieve cardio gains? If so, after a 40 minute run you should NOT be able to lift heavy weights straight after it. Let alone following that with even more cardio.


Yes, there are some elite athletes in specific sports who would train this way... but I'm going to assume you are not one of them since you are asking the question... So the bottom line is most likely that you aren't trying hard enough.

Yeah it takes me hours lel. Don't know why, I don't even take long breaks between sets. It's

>5 min stationary bike
>compounds (1-2 hours)
>2-3 other exercises (1 hour)
>abs/calves/foam rolling (half an hour)
>cardio if I want (20 min - 1 hour)

Is it really that bad spending a lot of time in the gym if I enjoy it and I have the time?

>having no reading comprehension

yes, that's /fit/ it seems.

Do you time yourself between sets or do you just sit there and guess? Because I have a funny feeling that you DO infact take long breaks between sets.

>>36764402
Time myself, two minutes on compounds, one minute on the others

>>36765051
How does it take you 1 hour for 2-3 "other exercises" if you only take 1 minute rests? Genuinely confused.

>>36765084
no fucking clue, maybe because I frequently go to piss or fill my water
