The Spartacus Workout entails a series of
minute - long exercises including
squats, pushups and
dumbbell lifts, with 15 seconds of rest in between, according to MensHealth.com.
I'd recommend 2 - 3
minutes for the bigger stuff (bench press,
squats, deadlifts, barbell rows, etc.) and 1 - 2
minutes for the smaller stuff (biceps and triceps exercises, lateral raises, leg curls,
dumbbell flyes, etc.).
