the reason i ask is i began training (18 months ago) by doing very high volume workouts which took 2-2 an a half hours (inc 30 mins cardio) after 14 months i stopped making gains and switched to hard, heavy, intense workouts with 30-60 secs rest (depending on exercise) in between sets. now a typical workout is around 1 hr 15 mins (inc cardio) thus its taking me only half the time (about 45mins) to train 1 major bodypart. (this is training 6 times per week)
i am seeing gains from this approach and im aching like hell the next day, but i dont feel tired after workouts and i feel....guilty....going home after just over an hour.
should i add volume to my high intensity workouts?
but most importantly how long do you guys train for?

Decide what work needs to be done in a session, and in what manner you're going to do it ,then let the session time take care of itself!

40 mins to an hour depending on what I'm training and how many of us. Prefer swift training with no @rsing around so if more than 3 supersets are a must. I hate hanging around.

On average just over an hour. However, I do a mad stretching regime for my legs, which takes about 20 minutes. Then if I go on the heavy bag as well I would be in the gym for just over two hours.
