How much time do you spend working out?

Never skimp on soft tissue work or a general warmup, ever.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what does "soft tissue work" mean in this context?

Also my job allows me to keep some dumbells at work so thru out the day everyday I'm doing some kind of work out.

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.

i spend anywhere from 1 to three hours working out in a day depending on my schedule and where i am in my periodization
again though thats one day not one session my longest work out in 1.5 hours

That's impressive! I wish I could find 3 hours throughout the day to workout...
