Going to the gym on a heavy cycle, I find myself in the gym doing my full workout in no longer than 1.25 hours. I'm doing 4-5 exercises per bodypart, 2 bodyparts per day. Each excerise is no less than 4 sets.
 
Little over an hour usually. Couple of times a week I do some ab-work which lasts for 20 minutes or so after my weight training session.

I do cardio separately.
 
When I'm bulking like right now I'm in and out in 30 to 45 minutes depending on the day. I just run in, rip up my muscles, then get out before I start burning muscle. But then again I'm a really hard gainer and it's easy for me to burn away muscle.
 
1:15min wieghts (2 groups per day (4 ex./muscle, reps are generally 12/12/10/8+burnout) + abbs.) + 1/2hr cardio.
 
5 minutes of cardio before one bodypart, entire workout is 45-60 minutes
 
on the weights, a little over 1 hour. all together, including ab workouts, plyos, cardio.....over 2-2.5/day. about 5 days a week,

I prefer giving myself 1.5-2 hours. I love 2+ hour workouts, but they're hard to do consistently when not on cycle. I could spend 2-2.5 hours on metal militia workouts and volumnous leg/lower back days on cycle no problem. Great results, too.

45 training, 20 cardio 20 in sauana
 
1 group a day for just over an hour maybe hour and fifteen mins.

No warm up, no streching, no cardio (cardio on it's own day, as it gets in the way of leg work outs) *Abs on it's own day as well, as they shouldnt be done every day.

It's not the time in the gym that builds muscle it's the time in recovery.

No warm up and no stretching? You are on the road to injury bro. You should know that, being a Marine.

I do know that, I should but not going to lie and say I do every day.

I never streach before a lift routine however, streaching should come after as there is no reason to lengthen the muscle groups before trying to get the best contractions. Plus straching after releases the lactic acid build up.

When I warm up however it's a good 15 mins before any routine to get the blood flow going.

I mostly ment with out streach and warm up thats how long so with warmup an aditional 15 mins so around hour and a half in the gym. but only an hour for hard lifting. As I do not count streaching or warms up "working out"
 
no just stating that i train for 2 hrs but its not just me training so thats why i train longer then most people.
 
20 min high intensity cardio warm up
1 hour lifting, work 2 musle groups
15 min stretch
30 min walk to cool down
15 min hot tub


5 days a week

I wish I had the time/discipline to stretch for 15 minutes and cool down and hot tub! That sounds nice.
 
Typically most days I am done in just over an hour. It's always about 70-80 minutes and then I hit the steam room for 10 minutes and then a shower. So usually around 90-100 minutes in total at the gym. I do cardio on seperate days and cardio days are 60-90 minutes followed by the steam room and shower. I have one day off a week.
 
Usually about 45 minutes. For a while I was doing a Sheiko routine for powerlifting and during that time, I'd start a workout on Monday and it would end on Wednesday. Those Sheiko workouts are loooong.
 
60-90 minutes,, usually 60 minutes however sometimes 90 minutes.. On back days sometimes I get bad lower back pumps and have to rest for a few minutes
 
Gym days i listen to my body, some workouts im there for 1-1.5hrs and on my really good days im there for about 2-2.5hrs. This includes talking to people though, if i am by myself it usually 1-1.5hrs. However i do my strongman event training on sundays and this can last anywhere from 3-5hrs but that is with 7 of us training.
 
Any workout for more than 60mins ot maybe 70mins and you're wasting too much time...

This does not include cardio and/or stretching
 
I think for BB'ing alc your probably right but for strength athletes it could take longer. BK as an example doing strongman workouts you need ultimately longer rest periods as your psuhing to max lifts a lot of the time. Your goals are different here.

Speak for yourself. I can easily stretch a workout to 2 hours (including 10 minute warmup) and I'm definitely not wasting time. I prefer to hit the body super hard 4 days a week with rest days in between than hitting it every day for shorter workouts. I always have a full rest day in between any upper body workout.

My body is used to doing 2 hours workouts. I can hit it very hard and still feel good at the end. Your body adapts to what you hit it with. If you're always doing short workouts, then you get used to that, but I'm sick of hearing people go on about how you can't train long and hard, because you can. I always have. (I'm just waiting for someone to chime in here telling me that I don't know jack about intense training because of the length of my workouts.)

I have my days where I'm dragging, but probably less than 1 workout in 10.
