How many days per week do you work out and how many days to you take off?

Currently I am working out Monday - Friday for 1 hour, 1 hour cardio on Saturday, and taking Sunday's off.

So the answer to my question is I take 1 day off, how about you guys?

Train 3 days a week. Usually Tuesday. Thursday, Saturday. Rest on the other days. Currently doing 5x5. Works great.

6 days on 1.5-2 hrs day. 1 day off. every once in a while i need another day off. maybe once every 5-6 weeks might have 2 days off in the same week. I have never looked better than I do now.

I currently train M/T/Th/F, keeping my workouts around an 1hr 15 minutes......I don't go into gym on my days off to do cardio, I do that outside with sprints and farmer carries.

If I reduce my natural peanut butter consumption daily may I count that as a cardio session?

Ok, I'll admit that I prefer lifting to cardio (by about 1 billion times)!

Squat Mon, bench Tues, off Wed, dead son Thurs, OHP on Fri, weekends off. I use Mon for my lifts that are lagging, it brings them up faster.
