(totally new) Decided I'm going to go with the Starting Strength program
Phase 1 : Squat 5 Reps x 3 Sets Bench 5 Reps x 3 Sets Deadlift 5 reps
I'd say its generous to assume the sets take a minute to preform, with a moderate rest of 2 minutes between each, it makes for 9 minutes of actual weight lifting and 12 of resting. So overall this is a 21 minute workout.
Am I interpretting the Rep/Set/Rest situation wrong? Am I really only going to be in the Gym for 21 minutes? How does this compare to advanced routines? Just more information on routines and allocated time would help, I can't find conclusive info on this.

You've seemed to have actually used the sticky as intended. SS will help you build a good base of strength, but unless you're training for American football or powerlifting then you should probably do greyskull instead. GSLP also is more balanced and fun imo, but any decent linear progression routine will yield good results for a beginner.
Doing the accessories as well will mean you'll end up taking around an hour

>a moderate rest of 2 minutes between each
It's going to take a lot more than 21 minutes when the weight gets heavy and you have some off days and have to rest for over 5 min between sets. Rippetoe said if you need to, you can rest 8 min if you have to to complete the sets, better than not progressing and maybe dropping weight and losing a week.
