Go with what works, I notice that an hour is just about right for my training length, perhaps a bit longer. Ignore those people who tell you off about it.

i am shot after about 40 minutes of training, but that is for one body part with heavy weights and low reps. After a good few years of training i have found that works for me.

If longer training works for you keep doing it. You know your body better than anybody else.

I workout 1 to 1.5 hours but then im old school and i have experimented allot and found out what works best for me.
But the general rule is none more than 1.5 hour, cus after that the body stops producing testosteron.

Keep it up

i usually train for about 1.5 - 2 hrs.
i find its what works.

I train one body party at max 40-45 minutes. Overall, as far as lifting, im in the gym at most 1 hour and 20 minutes. If you count stretching out and warming up its more like 1 hour and 45 minutes.

i heared that after 1 hour and 15 mins. your testestrone level goes down....but i usually train for 2 hours per session.......

2 hours? no good man, take it down to max 1 hour and 30 min...

i do aerobics and i try to do it all in 1 hour and 30. its hard but training for 2 hours is insane.. ull ruin more than ull build, the workout will lose the intensity and become useless.

try to cut it down a lil.
