I started working out regularly 2 months ago and I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm trying to increase overall strength and put on a bit of muscle mass/volume.

I usually go to the gym 6 days a week from 10:30pm to 12:15-12:30am. In addition I try to go on a short run (2-6mi) 3x per week. Spending 2hrs at the gym is not sustainable especially since I plan on starting college in the fall. I feel like all of my workouts are important and have a hard time cutting out the unnecessary elements

I enjoy my workouts, but I want them to be more efficient. What could I cut down on?
