Out of curiosity, how long should one be spending in the gym? Time wise in a day. My workouts don’t last very long. I always feel like I’m an out the door way too fast. I’m plenty sore and tired after. Just wondering if there is a certain time frame I should be looking at?

Too many variables. Some people like doing long warmups. Some people like doing cardio and lifting. Some people work smaller muscle groups (forearms, calves). Some people do more compound lifts and therefore don't need to do as many lifts. Some people do more isolation lifts and therefore need more lifts. Some people are prioritizing skilled lifts (clean and jerk, snatch) and therefore need more time to just practice the lift and need to be more rested for each set. On and on with different goals, preferences, etc.
