Deins Drengers Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi ! I wanted to know how long should a workout be for better gains in strength. I read that it must be more dense to allow your body more rest time. How long is your workout, guys? Warmup, FSE and FBE. Mine is about 90 minutes ( 1,5h) sometimes a bit longer, Is that okay ? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emos Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 There are way too many variables to answer neatly. Somewhere from five minutes to five hours, perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Aiken Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I can take as long as I have (well to an extent). Some days I take 2 hours, others only 40 minutes. Just depends on if I have time (school and swim get in the way very often) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin de Jesus Ponce Robaldino Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 In hs sesion generally work 8-10 sets of ~30 secs of stomach to wall hs for algnment... then i work in kick up sets (10-12)....I work a lot of mobility trough my workouts... i do lits of light quadrupedal motion, duck walks, pancake and splits mobility, wall slides, wrists pushups, shoulder dislocations, and so many other choices, so i pick a few and perform them.. all the mobility work i didnt finish in the workout, i finish at the end...For conditioning i have been getting crazy about burpees and skipping...Some sets of 2-3 minutes of skipping or 4-6 sets of 10-12 burpees with minimal rest...

Nic Branson Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 2 sessions a day 1 to 2 hours each for me. Work capacity has to be developed and recovery varies from person to person. Diet, stress and many other variables come into play in the big picture. For most people 60-90 minutes all said and done is a good time. In a time crunch you can have a damn good session in less time. Or several short blocks a day even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul S Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Depends mostly on how my body feels that day, sometimes about 30 minutes, other days a full hour just passes by without noticing, taking the showering and other procedures into account. On the weekends I like to split my workout in two, doing one in the morning and the other one in the evening. I think it all comes down to work capacity, exercise selection, DIET and how well have you warmed up and other stuff just as Nic said. Thinking too much about my routine and wanting better results has always been a big problem of mine, whether doing calisthenics or other sports. If the said variables are in order you can even get results without training at all. You shouldn't think about the time spent working out as a block you build your routine upon, a good workout can be both done in 2 minutes and in 2 hours. At the end of the day, the effort counts.

Erik Bowling Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 What do you guys do as far as your warm ups go? Mine consists of a brief period of basic stretching and simple movements like jumping jacks and the sort to get the blood flowing. Then I'll do easier variations of whatever strength movements I'll be doing (usually a level or two below what I'll be doing for my actual workout). I find that I need to do them since I workout most often in the morning fairly soon after I wake up. But I've always wondered how long and similar in movements to your actual working sets a decent warm up actually be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raul S Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Don't make it all that complex, as long as you're doing your fundamentals and getting enough sleep with the combination of right food, you're bound to get stronger. At first focus on the prerequisites and different hangs ( inverted, dead, german), L-sit and back lever progressions( be sure to obtain 3x30 seconds of german hang before moving on to this progression), AFTER getting down with L-sit and back lever, go on to the planche and front lever progressions. Also I almost forgot, you should also do handstands from day 1.Everything I just listed has been said countless times either in the book or on the forums, so look around.
