I workout 4 times a week and it seems like my workouts are really short. I am only working out for 45mins, but I do feel good leaving, and am seeing gains...Does that sound too short?
I am just curious how long you guys workout, I know it kind of depends on time of day and how advanced you are.

That is good to here... I always feel like I'm missing something when I see these people that were there before me and leave after me.Originally posted by MezzoMorph

Mine average about an hour. 16-20, sets with minimal rest in between. Remember, you are there to work. Do what you came to do and leave.

I have a five day program.
My Chest/Back and Quad/Hams days take 60-75 minutes.
And my Bi/Tri and Shoulder/Calf days usually take 45-60 minutes.
My other day is 20 minutes of treadmill work followed by 10 minutes of abs, and top it off with a 15 to 20 minute trip to the steam room.

45 to 50 minutes on average day (5 on 2 off). As little as 30 on leg day. If I'm ready to yack or pass out after heavy squats then I'll sacrifice extensions or do calves some other time.
I don't count any stretch or warm up time part of the work out.
I asked a question a week ago on test levels. Got a great answer. You may want to read it when you get a chance.

anything over 45 min. is catabolic and a waste....
just try it yourself go 8 weeks training 3 days weekly, 45 min. workouts
then try it your way for 8 weeks...
that would prove my theorythe greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exsist
