The problem is how it's measured.

Is that measured as door to door at the gym? Weight room door to weight room door? Or time on the iron?

If you measure time on the iron, it is very short. The reality is a lot of your time is spent between sets, recovering, and then showering and changing afterwards.

Same as his "4 hour work week" measurement...

A 20-30 minute workout a few times a month is much less than anyone expects to spend on exercise for dramatic gains, no matter how you slice up the time and how much ancillary stuff you include in the "time at gym" equation. All of the classes at my gym are ~60 minutes. I'm doing Occam's Protocol from the book, and I get in, do my lifts, shower, and get back out, long before those classes finish their workout. And, I go much less frequently than I thought was necessary: a couple times a week. I haven't been doing it long enough to know what the results will be, but the science is solid.
