Is this normal? I can barely do anything because of this.

I need advice, anyways.

>ham curls 3x10

>cable crunches 3x10
cut out everything except for bench, ohp, chinups and squats and do 2 of them per workout + do one isolation movement for the last 5 minutes (facepulls every other workout for example)
15 mins per compund movement (x2 per workout) + 5minutes isolation and youre done
Get off work at 5pm, commute and arrive home by 6pm, cook dinner and finish eating by 7pm, hit the gym for two hours finish at 9pm, relax until 11pm.
What’s the problem?

Is that the closest one to your house? Your life will improve by an order of magnitude if you invest in a homegym.
Hijacking this thread for a small routine question
What is a good PPL routine using only a power rack and a barbell?
I've been doing SL for a while but my workout days take too much time
Welcome to the adult world, when you leave before 8 and come after 22
Kid
Invest in a home gym. Best decision i ever made
agreed, should've been pull-ups
Can't really help you user, in fact I have a similar problem, only my 9hrs of work are split also into school. I switched over from 5x5 to phrak GSLP with some added isolation work every workout and suddenly I stopped going into the gym regularly because of the time. I recently watched Bugenhagen's vid where he said to do only 1 excercise (max 3) per session 2-3 times a week. My main goal isn't hypertrophy but I'd like to get some of it tho. I'm thinking of doing only the phrak GSLP with no added isolation. Will this work or will I look like a gym autist powerlifter?

Life's shit bruh
fucking this. scooby has great advice on what to buy.
Workout at home. Why is this even a problem
there is a reason a lot of people who work following a strength routine only consisting of a couple of lifts. Strength routines are the working mans workout

Grow a sack, fill it with some balls. Magically sprout a dick and go fuck yourself with it.
On a serious note, you are running life on easy mode. Be glad you have a routine and arn't a sad act who "just likes to play vidya..."
>wake up before 8 (sleepy as fuck because I had to go to gym late yesterday)

why even bother
chinups are inferior to pull ups for back my guy
Realistically, your gym routine should be completeable in 60-80 minutes. You are going 3 times a week. Even with a shit commute, you should be able to be able to commit 6 hours of your 168 a week very comfortably.
Also no need to do cardio at the gym, you can run and bike anywhere and those are both pretty decent.
Try to waste less time between sets and just fuck around a bit less. The hour commute sucks but i don't know your options for gyms, so it might be the best you'll get. You could go there straight before or after work to reduce distance potentially.
I hate guys running around with a towel around their waist. It's also mostly the pajeets, or arabs, fuck them. FUCKING FAGGOTS YOU JUST GO NAKED INTO THE SHOWER OR I'M RIPPING THAT TOWEL OFF OF YOU!
