How much can you workout?

[Gwuhfazoid]

Would, say, 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, do more harm than good? Does it depend on the individual?

Depends on what kinda training you’re doing. I stay around 1.5 - 2 hours

Like you drag it out with long rest times?

 

[Deleted member 27452]

No it depends what you’re doing in those 2 hours

Strength training, I want to gain muscle mass and strength as quick as possible, but don't want to overdo it, if that'll be a net-negative.

Yea

 

[Tusseleif]

That’s fine, just make sure you rest your muscle groups and get sleep

 

[Gwuhfazoid]

Yea

Ah, I do that sometimes too, then.

Just make sure you’re getting a lot of rest and meeting your protein requirements, and for training stick to compound movements, isolations are a waste of time for strength and size. Check out Eliot Hulse on YouTube he’s a great resource on strength training.

What about lateral raises and shrugs?

 

[Gwuhfazoid]

I'll check his videos out, I've seen a couple of them.

you need less volume as a beginner

Overhead press is best either flat bar or dumbbell, you can add latteral after if you want but I don’t.

Shrugs are alright but I prefer heavy farmers walks for traps.

Over head press and farmer walks are staple strongman workouts.

How much volume?

30 minutes: 10 min. bike on roller, 10 min jumping rope and 10 min. light punching bag

How much volume?

Just do a beginner routine like Greyskull LP and tweak it to your preferences. Like if you don't care about getting as strong as possible or don't want your legs to get huge, you could squat only 1x per week instead of 2x. I don't squat at all, just deadlift 1x per week.
