How much time do you spend in the gym

I'm on the body-for-life program doing all upper body (n lower in another session) in a session 6 sets with 12-10-8-6-12-12 reps (set 1,2,3,4,5,6) (1 min between sets last set no break, 2 min between muscle groups) with weight going up then down for my last two sets so my intensity should be (5,6,7,8,9,10) in correlation with my sets. However instead of sticking to it ive varied it a little including ab's which is normally lower body routine. Normally with upper body in a session ill crank out bi's, tri's shoulders, back, chest, abs. It takes me about hour-hour twenty, any longer i dont think is good for you what im told but im yet to get hard evidence behind it. I guess it depends on what your doin, strength, size, endurance, what you've eaten etc. Anyone elaborate on what 'how long is good time and bad time' in the gym with references or experiences?

i only workout for about 3 hours a week lol and make massive gains no matter what i dont even take protein powder anymore its been about 8 months now easily bigger mainly from lifting very heavy having fk all rest and having no spotter ever anyone that needs a spotter has already given up on themself. anyone here wants to be either really strong or big even if your not naturally try my workout every month i increase my military press,bench,leg and squat by 20 or more kgs ive finally learned the only way to make "real" gains which means gains you keep no matter what like losing only 14kgs from over 2months of eating fk all and smoking cones and still being called shrek my military press is now 115kg mid november should be over 135 at least i feel there is no better excercise my muscles are like steel from lifting heavier and constantly growing maybe im on to something?

1 to 1-1/2 hours lifting (6 days a week) with 1-2 minutes rests in between sets then 30 minutes of cardio.

Are these gains all natural, or are they "assisted"?

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

That is craziness. You do the same thing every day though? No leg day? Nothing like that?

I'm pretty confused.
