How many different exercise per workout session? - BoiBoi - 05-08-2015
I usually do between 4 - 6 different exercise per workout session + some ab-work and stretching.
E.g. Bench, Negative bench, DB-Flys, Curls and Cable pullovers + abs + stretching
It takes me about 70 min. Now, I wonder whether or not thats enough.
I think so, because I feel tired when I leave the gym, but whats your take on it? How many different exercise should one do per session?
P.S. My goals in the gym are: get/ stay strong and look good naked.

How many times/week are you training. Total volume/intensity is generally best measured across the course of a week in my view.
For example, when I'm training 5/6 times per week, I may do less on any given day, but shoot for more total volume or intensity over the course of the week. If I'm only training 3x/week, I will do more on each day.

Yeah, I workout 3 times/ week. I am doing sort of a combination of heavy weight + low reps and moderate weight + higher volume. Also, I play basketball 3 times/ week.

In which case that looks about right, although your set and rep scheme will obviously be a big factor as well. Personally I'd probably hit incline rather than decline bench, but without knowing what you're doing or why, I realise that's pretty trite advice.

I'll give you what's worked for me. Hardgainer here.
Starting strength style workout with a bit of a twist DUP style. 3x a week heavy compounds
Schedule is On Off On Off On Off off = a b a b a b ...
/ = or
Workout A
Flat bench/incline bench/decline bench
Squat/front squat
Overhand/underhand/SS style row
Weighted dips/pauses close grip bench press/band assisted bench
Weighted pullups
workout b
Squat
Overhead press/push press
Deadlift
Weighted dips/close grip bench/banded bench
Weighted pullups
My set rep scheme consists of light, meduim and heavy days depending on how I feel. If I'm wiped I go for 4 sets of higher 10-12 reps(except deadlifts i usually dont go past 5 reps), and do dips and pulls unweighted. Days I feel "ok" I go medium 5 sets of 6-8 do some unweighted and weighted. Days I feel like I could lift the world (usually Monday) I go balls out 6 sets 2-3 reps or 1rm tests then 2-3. I find this works best as sometimes your body needs a break and you should give it and when you feel stron you smash.

4-6 exercises with 3-5 sets per exercise. Takes roughly an hour. Lifting 4-5 times per week usually on a push/pull/squat.
