    Yes, it will take longer as the weights get heavier, and you do a longer warm up.

    Congrats on starting!

    It's not about time grasshopper, but about content.
    10 minutes doing heavy barbell squats is better than an hour of curls and tricep kickbacks.

    Once SL gets really heavy... You may be resting 4-5 minutes between sets.
