.5x everyday
since it averages out and we're such a bunch of frickin mathematicians in here.

which is a slightly different effect than 4 times/week or different than 2 on, 1 off etc.
Look at Olympic training schedules, everything is broken down to measure how much you're trained at the day level, week level, month level etc.. and fractures need to be used to be accurate. 7 times in 14 weeks is different than 8 times.
But it's just a measuring guide, like Kelei says it doesn't need to actually fit into a week, it's just a way to measure the stimulus.

Wow you guys are STILL bitching about this?
I was suprised you kept that going for so long yesterday Justin-27, it was fun. My whole point was that if you took 1 week, and worked out every other day, that you would work out 4 days that week, then you had to complicate it by adding weeks, my point was is that you cannot workout 3.5 times in a week.

I never said anything about going exactly 7 times, like I said, if I go every other day, that is 4 DAYS A WEEK. How hard is that to comprehend?
Week 1 - Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday
Week 2 - Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday.
8 DAYS IN 2 WEEKS
In your terms,
8x in 2 weeks = 4 times a week, genius.

No, 3.5 times a week doesn't make sense. You can not use the term 3.5 times/week because it doesn't exist. There is no such thing as half day when you're doing a workout every other day. You can say 7 times every 14 days but NOT 3.5/week. You cannot divide 7 by 2 in this situation. It doesn't work. You can use any 7 days you want and my logic stands. It doesn't have to be Sunday-Saturday.

How about this:
Day 1 OFF
Day 2 Train
Day 3 OFF
Day 4 Train
Day 5 OFF
Day 6 Train
Day 7 OFF
Isnt this 'working out every other day in a 1 week period? So now it's 3 days a week. Hmmm

Since 3.5 is in the middle of 3 and 4, the answer is both 3 times and 4 times a week.

Every other day in a real week = 4 times/week.

Every other day = 3-4 times/week.
Every other day in a real week = 4 times/week.
A 'real week' is 7 days. Take a 7 day period and train every other day w/i that 7 day period. You may chose to start the 1st day of the week or the 2nd day and still satisfy the criteria - every other day for 1 week.

This thread is lulz.
Technically, it would be 3.5 days a week if I worked out at 11:30PM on Saturday Night and finished the workout at 12:30AM Sunday Morning.
You all are wrong!
Anyway, this still does not hide the fact that OP never passed calendarematics.
You are not even close to being fat, but you're not 11.5% either.

They mean average.
Week 1: Working out 4 times that week.
Week 2: Working out 3 times that week.
4+3=7/2=3.5*52=182 a year.
If he worked out every other day of a year that'd be:
365/2=182.5
It's actually the people saying 3.5 average workouts per-week that are correct over a year.
Week 1: Working out 4 times that week.
Week 2: Working out 3 times that week.
4+3=7/2=3.5*52=182 a year.

That's what the caliper says. I have a 6 pack when flexed so it can't be too far.

I am shooting for 9% anyway.

Maybe everyone on this thread needs to take a chill pill.

T: Rest
W: Workout
T:Rest
F:Workout
S: Rest
S:Wank off all day
M:Workout
T: Rest
W: Workout
T:Rest
F:Workout
S:Rest
S:Wank off all day
OR
Workout one day, rest the next, and continue to that effect, regardless of what day of the ****ing week it is.
By the way, 3 full body workouts a week: good.

Calipers aren't accurate! But yeah, 9% is a good goal to shoot for. Around 10% you should have abs unflexed, so I'd say you're like 15%.

Batting averages in baseball must really confuse some. If a guy is 3 for 9, he's batting .333. Nobody's saying he's going to get a 1/3 of a hit, it's averages.
Also, half the weeks will start on an off day, half will start on a training day, get out the calendar, see for yourself.
If this is still argued, I'll simply assume, trolls.

What? That you don't like to hear someone say they train an AVERAGE of 3.5x a week? That was a numbskull reply on your part. Truth is, Orlando, myself, and a few others that have posted have been 2000% correct, and you and Josh have looked like effing morons. Who the fuk argues that you cannot start counting a split/routine on a day off? Or that it is impossible to average 3.5 workouts a week? Or that a 2 week period has to start on a Sunday, and end the next Sunday, the 15th day? You two are the goddam dumbest people to post on a internet forum, stfu and save what little grace you have left.
