I pulled&#x2F;squatted in a 5-plate range which ain&#x27;t much by any serious standards for a 242lbs lifter so I&#x27;m just mentioning the numbers to put things in perspective as it isn&#x27;t something to brag about :)<p>So typically my GPP workouts - pull-ups, curls, direct triceps work etc would take 45 min tops.<p>PL workouts (5&#x2F;3&#x2F;1 or Cube style) would typically take about the same time or longer with less work sets - warm up, rest between the sets etc. The only PL workouts that were shorter than that for me were the PR style workouts where I&#x27;d warm up, try for the PR, go home.<p>Serious lifters (the likes of Elitefts crew) take forever to warm up but then again they are moving some insane weights. We&#x27;re literally talking going up in quarters from 125 up to 600+ for the bench with 2-3 minute rest intervals once they get above 405 and sometimes would start going up in dimes from there.
