[QUOTE=arthurb999;1055494]30-45min. 90min - 2 hours seems very long to me... what the heck are you guys doing?[/QUOTE]
I did 9 months of SS with poor results, and on top of that I kind of injured my lower back by doing goodmorning squats but I wanted to keep training so changed to P.H.A.T (at least for the moment) which is about 1,5-2,5 hrs per workout
Strength training 35 minutes. People could probably cut out 50% of the crap they do in their lifting workout. After reading Beyond Brawn, I made a concerted effort to minimize my workouts. And the last 6 months I have seen more growth and strength and I'm doing way less.

What is the book about?
Anything other than going for a walk I'm done in 15-20 minutes MAX....Thats for any of my routines. Actually here is this weeks breakdown.
Thursday: Big 5 BBS routine 15 minutes
Sunday: Deadlifts 5x5 took about 15 minutes
Today: HIIT 8x30sec with 1 minute active rest ...12 minutes
Walked the dog and went for jogs on other days, but I don't time that. Its all part of my normal DLA's.
Hour long + workouts? Holy sh1t guys.
My workouts are usually between 20-30 minutes. Sometimes I'll hit 7-10 minute workout hard.
Today My workout took 5-1/2 minutes followed by a good 3 or 4 minutes sitting before I could walk. Hours in the gym? That is straight up crazy!

If you made poor progress on SS the answer is NOT to increase your volume. You are well on your way to over training and all that comes with it. Unless you have superior genetics for body building and are taking steroids, you simply can't train that much. You certainly can't train hard enough to stimulate growth for that long. If I put you through my workout and you tried to carry it on for even 30 minutes you would leave the gym in an ambulance.
I'm in the 30-45 minute range, including a rower warmup, main lift, and assistance lifts. I sometimes do tabatas on non-lifting days, and those take 4 minutes.
I don't have time for an insanely long workout. I have no idea how you guys fit that into your schedules.

The idea that you might be doing to much never seems to enter peoples minds. In my opinion the formula should be how much is required to to make your body adapt not how much your body can tolerate before regression.

Heh, yeah. My workouts usually take about 7 minutes.
