Awesome, wish I could do that.

Yah, I'm surprised about all the people who have time to workout for 2-2.5 hours. My workouts are 50 min to an hour 15 including warmup, I stretch at home.

cortisol levels do skyrocket and stay elevated for hours after training at a high level of intensity after about the 2hr mark +/-. for the most part there is only you can do to stimulate the muscles during a single training session, one of many cases when more simply isn't better. rest periods between sets should range anywhere from 30secs for endurance training, 60secs for hypertrophy, and 5-6min for those training for maximum strength. the long rest period at 5-6min allows ATP stores to be replenished to maximum levels

There's no point picking up DB's all day long. You need to rest after a good workout.

1 hour max for weights (of ACTUAL lifting, I may have to wait for other people at the gym). No more than 25 minutes if doing HIIT, no longer than 45 minutes if running.
