3-5 hr workouts

[MACKATTACK]

I'll add a slightly different thought here.. a 3 hour long session does not necessarily mean you've worked out for 3 hours. it may sound silly but training with weights is also a 'Skill' that needs to be learned and practiced (just like golf or other skill). you may spend 30 mins slowly progressing in weight for an over head press and that whole 30 mins your simply working on your form and skill as non working sets. Then you hit 3 working sets with heavy weight and max intensity, and that takes you 10 mins. so you spent a total of 40 mins just on overhead press, but really you only spent 10 mins 'working out' . which I think it totally fine to do and woking on your skills in a movement can have huge benefits.
so a 3 hour workout may have 2 hours of skill set training, and only 1 hour of actual intense training/working out.

as a trainer I see first hand how training with weights is a skill set that needs to be learned and practiced. new lifters often times progress in weight over a period of weeks/months not because they are getting much stronger, they are simply getting better at the skill and movements themselves and dialing in the motor patterns needed.

so nothing wrong with spending hours in the gym "working out", as a lot of that really is just working on your skill sets.

I would hate you if u took a bench for 40mins for just an overhead press lmao....

if your in a busy commercial gym then yeah . but if your in a gym with power lifting equipment and atmosphere , then training for 40 mins on a single movement like over head press is common. thats why I have dedicated dead lifting platforms, dedicated olympic lifting, multiple station power racks, etc.. set up, so that movements can be trained.

I don't over head strict press 225 pounds for reps cause I'm super strong and jacked. Its something I've "practiced", and my gym is set up with areas for people to train movements and not just "workout"

This, I can dumbell press overhead 65-70s for reps, but I struggle with 140 on barbell overhead.

I feel all scrunched and impinged with barbell.

La Fitness is one of my gyms so I have seen people sit and "chat" and take a bench for over an hour at around 5-6pm on a Wednesday, its insane. My other gym different story, its more of a competitors gym, different atmosphere and there is a means to what they are doing and not just being selfish with their time.
