Sticky, are you trying to figure out what the stronger guys are doing? Im assuming what they're doing now that they are strong would be different to what they did to get strong'er' in the beginning.
They train for that long?? Seriously??? Or they stand around and socialize for an hour and a half and train for 30 minutes???
I can not see how anyone can train weights for two hours and be taking it seriously. I can write myself off in 25 minutes and takes days to get over it...my 30-45 minutes include warm up and rest between sets, could not imagine what I would do in the gym for an hour let alone two.
No idea on my total at the moment, my squat pb right now is 227.5
Mick, personally it's because the recovery between sets takes me 5+ minutes at times. When you are doing high intensity sets (as in % 1RM) you need to rest. My warmup alone when done thoroughly is 30-45min.

I see different approach and purpose to training I guess, so it's not actually training, it's a lot of resting.
I try to have minimal rest between sets and get through my planned workout in minimal time. Aiming for maximum befit from minimal time spend in the gym.
Different goals I guess, as my strength levels are not up there like some here...
I wish I could but there is no way I have time for 2+ hour sessions so I do only a couple of exercises per workout work them hard and train more often.
Like Sticky said once you start lifting heavy weight it is almost impossible to get through a workout quickly. Just warm up alone for very heavy squats or deads can easily take over 30 min.
My sessions get longer and longer but I generally average 75-90 mins at the work gym (any longer and I miss dinner!)
At home, I train until I'm fucked...1.5-2 hours
4 times a week normally
Total is ever improving, 495...all correct PL form

Take a look at some of the 4 day Sheiko routines. These are split into 7 weekly sessions and I don't see how the PM sessions could be completed in under 1.5h
