That depends on the weights and rep count and therefore the amount of rest time needed.

I mean, a good squat/bench/deadlift day for me could take well over an hour if I have to rest between my work sets. Then there is changing over weights... sorting my spotter, warm-up etc.

Well rarely I do intensive 2 hour workouts when I try to keep my heart up to the max and not rest more than a minute

Are you seriously talking about doing the big 3 in one day? Or is there some reason one of those takes you an hour? High-fiving your buddy after each set?

Yes I'm talking about doing "the big 3" in one day.

You warm up on the squat... progress to bench, then deadlift. Its a brilliant way to improve strength as per Mark Rippetoe's: Starting Strength.

Then on workout 2, I'll Squat - Overhead Press - Power Clean.

Haha, wow. I'm not that poster, but you should know the powerlifts are fundamental to a lot of non specialized programs. And one hour at the gym is typical for intermediate lifters.

starting strength has only 1x5 on deadlift when you squat the same day.

thers no way you could do 3x5 on both lifts in the same day unless you are half assing it

i just spent 1.5 hours there, but i didn't lift heavy the whole time.
i did:
8 sets of calves
stretched lower body from day before
1000m row
warmed up back and joints with stretch band and broomstick
2x5 chinups
then my workout starts about 30 minutes in.
weighted chins, +25x3, +45x3, +60x3
dumbell row 60x5,95x5,95x15,95x5
ezbar pullover 40x12, 60x12,80x8
facepull 100x10,100x12,100x10
YTWLs 10x12,15x12,20x12
Bent laterals 20x15

then i hang with straps on a pullup bar for 60s x 2 or 3

this whole workout took about 1.5 hours, but i only did 2-3 heavy exercises, the rest were detail and prehab shit

No, you're right there. I don't 3x5 the deadlift. I COULD, but my CNS would be so shot to hell by the next Deadlift workout that I wouldn't be able to gain at all.

It still takes a good amount of time for an intermediate though. The squat warm-up can take quite a while... the work sets themselves (provided they're max heavy) take even longer. The bench takes me a while because I have to drag a flat bench across the gym to the squat rack (stupid globo-gym benchs are stupid) and again the work sets require a good deal of rest.

The deadlift still takes a while to warm up through, but obviously not as long to do the work set.

As I said... all that including warm-up and weight changing takes well over an hour if I'm really moving quick. If I decide to work my form afterwards with lower weight for higher reps, it takes even longer.

true, if you are focusing on strength you might wait even 4 minutes between sets. i dont really time my sets. if i feel ready to go ill go, if im still gassed ill wait. when im near the end of my workout doing smaller exercises ill wait sometimes only 20 - 30 seconds

Same really. I just leave it until I can confidently get the bar out of the rack. It tends to be a few minutes on the work sets, at most...
