Im only getting 1:30-140 hours to get strength and cardio training in a typical session. Doing about 7-8 exercises two sets each. I’m seeing good results but I wonder if I lower the amount of exercises and increase sets will boost gains. Anyone share some insight?
How many exercises and how long to complete ina reg session?

I don't like cardio and lifting in the same sessions
Two sets isn't enough volume IMO.
3-4 sets is a typical range for most exercises, but there's so many different programs out there based on your goals
I find that 4 sets is what my body best reacts to, but find what works best for you.

It loosens me up and gets my blood flowing.
I really want to increase my strength. Been making steady gains over the last month and half. Just wondering if I throw in more sets will it make a dramatic difference.
I’m kinda limited with how long my workout can be since my kid stays at the child watch center. That lasts only 2 hours. So I do as much as I can while throwing in time to take a shower.
Most strength programs utilize less sets and less reps but the time in between reps is longer. Also those programs may allow you to split lifting and cardio into separate days.
Depending on the cardio you are doing, it could be taking away from your lifting.
I don't go past 1 mile on the treadmill. I was doing more cardio but you're right I noticed it took away from lifting.
From what I've stated what kind of program would work best for what I'm trying to achieve in the time available. Thanks in advance.
Just depends on your level of listing. 5x5 programs can be run for novice to intermediate lifters, 5/3/1 is a more advanced method
Just pulled up some helpful info thanks to you.
Minimum of 5 exercises, no more than 7.

I get a little bit more in volume wise typically around 8-10 is exercises 5-8 sets of 6-10 reps.
Some of the accessory work like calves, face pulls, tricep work I get in 5 sets of 15-25 with once week doing enough reps to get To over 100 reps total.
I however am currently following a full body routine for the past few months but I’m about to go back to my push/pull/legs as it’s easier for me to program in cardio.
I’m usually out of the gym within 90 minutes.
