My workouts are short...
Hey guys was wondering, my workouts seem to be shorter than before, i know this is a stupid point to make but im having difficulty fillling 45 minutes.
e.g chest/shoulders

Bench press
Incline press

military press
Tricep exercise(usually extensions)

not weird if you're pushing a very fast tempo. My non bench days don't usually last longer than 45min. My bench days can go upwards of 2hrs

I am never in for more than 1.5 hours at a time. Usually done in 45 to 60 minutes.

When im focused my workouts are rarely much longer than that. Sometimes if the gym is busy theyll stretch a bit longer, but that 30-60 minute area is what you should be shooting for.

are you trying to burn calories or build muscle? This will determine how long you need to be working out and what you need to be doing when you do workout.

Longer duration does not neccessarily equal more or less calories. A shorter, more focused, more generally intense workout is far better for you, and more efficient in regards to the useful work you perform in a given time.
