I do 2h to 2h:30min every single time I go to the gym... 3 days in 1 day out

Sorry to rain on your parade but so what? We address this very point in the latest podcast. I also spend 2-2.30 in the gym. And I say on the podcast that it's cos I'm talking to members, over by the front counter chewing the fat with the owner while I drink a coffee and so on. I train for strength so my rest between sets is longer than a bodybuilders will be but even so I can do a workout at a proper pace and be done in 90 minutes.
The science on bodybuilding training and time was first done in the 1970's. Other studies have been done since. There are also numerous article from pros who, even with their genetic gifts, talk about an hour 15 max. The science says 60-75 seconds a set (lets says 10-12 reps) and that's using a 2 x negative and 1 x positive speed. It says 120 seconds rest. Do the math - that's 10minutes max per exercise based on 4 sets. Which means you can do 2 bodyparts with 2 exercises each x 4 sets and you'd be done in 1 hour. We also address the percentage of max on the podcast - give it a listen
So what what? I was sharing with OP what I do ?

The so-what part refers to the length of time in the gym having no meaning. Heck my gym owner used to do 5 12 hour shifts so he kicks both our arses, however he was working lol. But I've seen him workout and it's rarely 40+ minutes. I also explained the science. Quite simply you are not training hard for 2+ hours. Same as my own explanation. No one is stopping you sharing. Did you listen to the podcast?
No just yet. I'll let you know when I do so

Get in, hit it, get out and let the recovery process start.
Bottomline is - on the long run I will destroy myself. What about shorter and more frequent trainings? Like 30-40 minutes twice per day (AM and PM)?
