Well 1.5 hours includes a 5 min light bike warm up.

In addition to my warm up sets, I rest about 3-5 min between work sets. These sets are heavy for me.

well typically 5 rep sets deplete more ATP so there needs to be a longer rest period. just ask anyone doing a 5x5 routine how long their workouts take.

Re: The EricW log
 

I've done 10x3, 5x5, 2x18, 6x3, etc etc, roughly six exercises per workout, and I can't remember a single workout lasting longer than an hour.

Thats excessively long. I don't think any workout should be longer than 1 hour. If you're doing that much intensity/volume to warrant extended rest periods, you need to cut back.

yeah bro. looks like your plan is working to full effect!!!!

Re: The EricW log
 

meh, in my first few weeks of 5x5 (the lighter weeks) I was in and out in 40 min. Now that the sets are heavier because I'm at my peak weeks, 1.5 hours isn't too bad.

Also, I think I'm getting sick again. I was supposed to do RDLs, Squats, and Standing militaries on Sunday but I'm feeling like something is about to hit me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
