Compressing a 45 min workout into 30 mins

If your goal is to add mass but you also want your workout to be more cardiovascularly intense, are there any negative side effects (in terms of adding mass) to speeding through your weight lifting as fast as possible? The assumption here is that you're alternating between different muscle groups before going back to any single muscle group again, so each muscle group will still have time to recover before it's working out again.

Do giant and super sets of everything.

The downside I would see is you won't be able to go as heavy every set. The rest period is important when you have a lot of weight on a bar. Think you wouldn't be able to go as heavy on your last sets, thereby losing some mass gains

It all depends on your workout, I would experiment a bit and see what works best for you. Initially I wouldn't mess with your big movement lifts (squat, dead, presses), but consider trying to shorten your rest periods between accessory exercises (pull-ups, dips, iso exercises, etc.) and see if that helps.

Thanks to all three of you. I was thinking the same re: avoiding the big lifts and frankly don't have any reason to squat or power clean at this point in my life anyway. I'd really just be lifting to shape up a bit and improve my running times.
