Any other gym junkies out there?

yeah doing weights that many times a week is fine but if you do endurance/cardio all week then it can cause more harm than good. I just need to find the time!

That seems pretty full on, how long are the sessions, and do you target different muscle groups each time?

I usually go 4-6 days a week for 45 mins up to 2 hours depending on what i am focusing on.

It is full on but being dedicated along with eating the right food will get you results. I train with a former body builder so i know the ins and outs of the eating side along with the training side. My system is usually Chest-Biceps, Shoulders-Triceps, Back, Legs and Stomach with an extra day of training arms but giving myself enough time to recover from the previous session training that muscle. Remember its not how much weight your pushing but more the technique. If the technique is crap your reducing your gain times a lot more!

People have different ways of training, thats worked for me so i stick to it. Some may do it differently but thats upto them.

yeah agreed my friend is a good PT so she does everything for me like programs etc i do something every other day whether it's a work out or just a run, but i train to play football not just to get fit so i do skill stuff too.

I go to the Gym 6 days a week, for 2 hours each day. I do cardio 2 days a week, and weight lifting 4 days a week.
I also take weight gainers, muscle gainers, and protein shakes.

But yeah i hate the label "Gym Junkie" i only do all of the above is because i like to look after myself, and be the best i can be.

I go to the gym 2-3 times a week for college cheerleading.

I do the biggest loser game on my xbox, does that count?
