Let me get this straight:
1) Are you really pressed for time? I meant we wasted a lot of time elsewhere, on this board for example, so half an hour sometimes doesn't matter that much.
2) Is it worth it to have more rest time? It is for me, cuz psychological stuff. If I superset my bench with squat AND try to get a 5-mins inbetween sets on squat then I may save a lot of time, but I don't really think I can do that, or do that without compromising the quality of the workout.
3) Are you being efficient with your time? It maybe that you take more time than needed. Too much chatting, too much psyche up, too much rest, what others have said, I don't have much to add.
Very interesting that some of you geezers mention about taking more years to get to your goal, but you don't care, or splitting. This begs the question that do you really save time, in the end, or just merely spreading the time taken from one year/one workout to another.
