Time spent in gym

How long does everyone here spend in the gym?

Now I know we have to be careful when comparing ourselves to others as everyone is a special little snowflake but it seems, from look at other people's logs, that I'm spending about half as long in the gym or maybe just taking way too long between sets and doing half the amount of work.

Also, another factor is that I'm now training on a lunch break so can spend a maximum of about 40 mins in the gym now and I'm trying to program around that.

Cheers.

It takes me about 50 mins to 1 hour to complete my weightlifting:
I do 3 combound exercises, 1 legs - 1 push - 1 pull. Each consists of 3 sets, 3 minutes rest between them, 3-5 minutes rest between exercises. My warm-up sequence is the same for all exercises, 3 sets building up intensity, ~1 min between those sets. I don't do abs or stretch at the gym, i leave right after the last working set.

About 20-30 minutes on my main compound lift for the day whether that's bench or squat and than anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour on assistance exercises depending on the intenstity of the exercise and the amount of volume I do.

I took about 1 hour to 1 hour and a half, but that includes changing my clothes/shoes and stretching so... probably more like 50 minutes to a hour of effective working out and resting in between sets.

Too long, bad habit I picked up from listening to professional obesity coaches when I first started lifting. Need to shake it off but it's so ingrained :/

Wow. Im in there way to long then lol! I usually lift for 2 hours not including my dynamic warmup or stretching. I only get to the gym twice a week though so I pack a lot into my sessions. I usually spend 15-20 minutes on off days jumping and stretching.

Well, that sucks. :/ I guess I need to look into ways to restrict cortisol release. Off I go.

Try jerking off in the gym. Then you have another 47 minutes available.

Lol! I could invite the woman for some cardio in the middle....

LBSS its probably an average from a study. I'd venture to say it differs greatly from person to person. Supposedly diet, fitness level and your tolerance to lifting can all slow the release.

yeah, probably. and i'm with you on the differing person to person. that's why i feel like a number like that is probably completely useless on an individual level.

That's correct. "Dubiously" is the right way of describing that number. Who knows what the reality is? It definitely depends on the person but...
