How often should you work out?
Noner:
Right now My routine is bascially 3 days a week.
I utilize the push/pull method. One day is all pushing exercises, the next is all the pulling exercises and the third day is legs and cardio while the weekend is a run/walk.
I've been working out for 4 years and went from 135 to 160 at my peak. Then I got a lay-day and I dropped down to 155. I want to get at least 2-3 pounds of muscle by the end of March.
I was thinking about increasing the frequency of the workouts to every other day but am not sure it that will get me results. Thanks for all the advise.

I've known a few guys who are very muscular yet don't go to the gym or workout. Their job is their workout. They are "working out" for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Maybe the intensity isn't the same, but the results can be impressive.
Anyone ever buck bales on the farm?

Yeah, but good work, good time in the sun ..... and a cure-all for insomnia
PigPen:
Builds up a mighty thirst too. I think it's more the combo of beer and the work that will cure the insomnia...lol
Come to think of it, the same thing happens when we build fence...hhhmmmmm...I'm starting to see a trend here.
