Usually around an hour but it depends, I often drag my sessions out a bit because I have a home gym so I'm not in a rush lol
At 55 minutes I doubt you're over doing it.
My sessions are pretty minimalist. I used to do much higher volume/longer sessions with more exercises but cutting back I've noticed no difference. I seem to get as much benefit from minimalist training, if anything I am stronger than ever and have been hitting a lot of PBs.
e.g. my leg routine is basically ATG Squats with 3 warm up sets working up to 2 maximal working sets and then a finishing set at 90%. After squats I do barbell hip thrusts with a similar structure. So I guess it's 12 sets but most of it is just warmup, I'm really only doing like 4-5 sets at maximum intensity. I could probably do it all in around half an hour if I wanted to.
Cutting out all the fat, my legs are far bigger than they've ever been too.
