Over the last few years I've seen a trend in fitness and weight training toward shorter, more intense workouts. For example, a year or two ago I worked with a guy in his forties with a massive, bodybuilder-like build who claimed his average gym session lasted about 25 minutes.

Here are two YouTube fitness personalities I follow. First is AthleanX, who likes to say that you can lift hard or you can lift long, but not both. He basically follows what seems to be the current wisdom and recommends no more than 30 to 40 minutes per workout. Second is Vince Del Monte, who says the exact opposite, that you're never going to get to his level without spending hours working on your body most days. No idea which is right, but if could get anywhere near like 80% of either guy's level of development I would be pretty damn happy with myself.

What do you all think? Long? Hard? Both? They're both on gear so it doesn't matter unless I choose to go that route? Asking here because I highly value the opinion of shitlords and misogynists on many matters, fitness included.
