For optimal bodybuilding results, you cannot stay in the gym longer than an hour as otherwise your cortisol levels will go through the roof and your testosterone levels will drop! Do yourself a favor and focus during your workouts so that you can get the work done before the hour expires.
Most of my workouts these days are done in 45 minutes tops!
Again, I think I will need to clarify (as I get this question all of the time) that this short workout rule is not only for "advanced bodybuilders who have good mass already". This rule applies to everyone across the board. Studies on hormonal activity during training show time and time again that bad things begin to happen in the blood chemistry when workouts are too long (testosterone and GH levels drop while cortisol increases). Thus, no time to talk in the gym nor socialize. Get in, stimulate the muscle, and get out!
