Almost 4.3k hours sounds insane when you put it on paper

I'm surprised how long the sessions are. 3 hours! Why does it take so long?

[@marken816]

Warm-up. After you get to a certain point in strength, your warm-up sets take a long time. I'm not a "real" powerlifter, but I base my training sessions around one compound lift + accessories. Just doing the compound takes me one hour or so. Many powerlifters do two big lifts in a day + accessories. For example years ago I used to bench 70kg for reps. I would take the bar, then 40kg, then 60kg, then 70kg. Now I rep 150. The time needed to get through the warmup is more. The guys repping 70kg next to me have completed their sets before I unrack my repetition weight. Plus of course the rest time between sets is long when you're playing around with hard weights and high percentages of your 1rm.

​@@marken816 why cant you do 80kg, 110kg, 130kg, 150kg? Im new to this

[@marken816]

@@GaoyuanFanboy123 more warming up feels better, makes me more hyped up and makes me feel ready and used to the weight. I have tried making that big of a jumps and the weight feels really heavy fast. I do empty bar x5-15 explosvlely, 60kg, 80kg, 100kg, 120kg few reps, 140kg 1 rep and then 150kg reps.
