I see Yomama, thank you for enlightening me. How long of a workout does it take for one to be considered a bodybuilder? 1 hour a day? 2 hours a day? Split routine 7 days a week? The more is better mentality is something that I overcame a long time ago. What I do know is results. What works for me may not necessarily work for the next guy. I am not preaching that my way is the best..its the best for me which Ive found after years of trying every routine I could get my hands on. If working out 4 hours a day helps someone put on muscle mass ( or achieve whatever goal he is looking to achieve) then he should do what works for him. I dont argue with results.

Sure ChewY,
First keep in mind that when I enter the gym it has been 4 to 7 days since my last workout so I am well rested and ready to go to war with the plates.
Typical Chest and Back routine
warmup and stretch
flat dumbell fly 95lbs 6-12 to failure
superset with
incline smith press 315lbs 1-3 to positive failure then a spotter helps me into static contraction hold until failure then spotter does all positive work while I do slow controlled negatives until failure, then I take a short break to breath and possible puke my chest is deepfried after this..
then back
straight arm pulldowns to pre exhaust lats 6-12 to pos failure
the immediate superset with
lat pulldown underhand grip 6-12 to pos failure then the spotter does same thing he did with chest( static and neg failure assist)
after short break
deadlift
395 3-6 reps to failure
my intensity is exteme on every workout to the point where if someone was pointing a gun at my head I would not be able to do another rep!
thats it! I leave the gym, go eat and rest and grow until 4 to 7 days later to do legs.
Keep in mind I dont sit around bullshitting, that is a waste of time..I am focused on beating my last lift every workout (I keep a detailed journal of every workout) and so far I have been making positive gains.
Hope this gives you some idea

30-45 per day Mon-Fri...one bodypart per day.....if you cant get it done int hat time frame:
1 - You aint working hard enough
2 - You are talking to omuch
1 - You aint working hard enough
2 - You are talking to omuch
an hour with a pTrainer m-w-f, on my own t-th-sa for speed and cardio, sundays off. I couldnt find a training partner that was lifting as heavy/same sched/shows up EVERY TIME... so I gave up on training with friends.
My trainer kicks my ass to death and back in an hour, she's a competitor and she knows her shit and never lets me cheat or give up. ever.
money well spent.

legs are the 45 minute one for me

I do one set...I superset when working large muscle groups..I do mix it up sometimes but mostly I train to positive, static, and negative failure..because of this stress on my body I need days of recouperation in order to make gains, otherwise I will overtrain myself. Because of the time off between workouts I am able to put out 100% intensity which if I didnt I dont think my workout would be as productive as it is.
