i'm not advanced enough to use as many of the conjugate method's accessory and supplemental components that would extend my workout times beyond 2hrs. so mine typically last 60-90mins 4x wk, with cardio on off days and eventually sled work.
I get a lift in for about an hour and a half to 2 hours 5 days a week. Every once in awhile I will do 3 hours. When I am all juiced up I don't ever want to leave and have to remember to cut myself off so I don't over do it.
I'm old and slow. I can spend over 2 hours doing my routine. If I'm lifting heavy I can take 5 minutes between sets. My first big three, three sets each with stretch and warm-ups can take nearly an hour, depending on how the day is going.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I pace myself sometimes. But 2 to 3 hours of rigorous training? I just don't think so. Certainly not how new fibers develop.
45 min to an hour and half, I wish I would of known that this is the perfect timing from when I started. 4 years ago, when I first got a gym membership I used to go for 3 and a half hours doing fully body workouts everyday doing chest,arms,legs,shoulders,back AND cardio every day...
1 hour is my sweet spot. I don't do cardio warm up. I jump into my movements and use very light weight ramped up to my work sets on each muscle group trained that day. I do high intensity low rep movements first for strength. My rest sets can be up to 3-4 minutes for these. I move to higher rep volume type lifting after. There are more sets and reps but the weight is lighter and I rest about 1 minute between sets. Sometimes a little less.
