Why should we limit per gym session?
-
Let's get OPT to explain..

Assuming you mean the workout duration, it's due to hormonal balance between the anabolic and catabolic ones. Usually the limit is about 45-50min, unless you're under specific supplementation such as BCAA/Glutamine.

I do 2 hrs, but it's usually because I need to wait for gym equipment.Originally posted by galapogos:Assuming you mean the workout duration, it's due to hormonal balance between the anabolic and catabolic ones.

That's way, way too long. I spend about 2 hours at the gym but 1+hour of it is spent warming up and doing core work. Actual strength training from the first to last work set is kept within 50min. Even when I was messing around last time it never exceeded 75min. 120min is way too long.

There are alternative exercises.
What gym you train at where you can share the power/squat rack? -

Someone was using it for deadlift, so I could not share for squat. -
who uses the power rack for deadlifts? Are they stupid??

Not really a power rack... I dunno how to describe it... But it is used for both squats and deadlifts by everyone thereOriginally posted by OPT:who uses the power rack for deadlifts? Are they stupid?? -
because you can't possibly do it 24/7?Originally posted by Agenda:Why should we limit per gym session? -
My experiences of Clubfitt
When I walked inside the gym,this fella doing machine curls.
After my prep work,training session,wash up and change and as I walked out of the gym,he is still doing his machine curls...
I am sure,this kinda fella is very common all over. -
Actually in most gyms you have to use the power rack for deadlifts. They don't have spare olympic barbells lying around, so either you take it from the power rack or from the bench press station, and if you take it from the power rack you might as well do it in the power rack since the rack would be useless w/o the bar and you may be blocking someone else if you do it in the open.Originally posted by OPT:who uses the power rack for deadlifts?

I pull in the power rack at my gym. -
I did everything heavy in 1 hr today, but continued on lots of resting and minor exercises at a relaxing weight while waiting for my fren to finish. That should be ok right?

The 45-50min limit is from your first to last work set.
