Did full body first quarter of this year and saw results and felt better. Have been doing bro splits ever since and I got exhausted going everyday and hit a wall and didnt workout for a few weeks. Im going back to full body & circuit training tomorrow with a few sprint days in between.
Good for you, keep it up! It's better to do it less efficient than not at all! Sure, you MIGHT get your perfect body a month earlier, but that does not matter if you give up on it. I'm doing the lower body/ upper body split and I do them at home. Maybe less efficient, but at least this is something I can keep up.
I do upper/lower split. Wednesday and the weekend (Sat-Sun) are your breaks. This is just a comfort thing, as I work and like to have free time without feeling like shit. Doesn't matter how many times you go to the gym a week, building muscle, has always been about tearing up the muscles, then repair. Full body is nice, and while you go to the gym less, I noticed this is always the group of people who just want to stay toned and not gain mass. Obviously if you're not on roids, be flexible with yourself. I tend to tell people, if you just want to stay toned and not gain any mass, walking/treadmill plus some squats are honestly enough.
Most naturals should be doing a full body routine. The idea that it’s a beginner program or less optimal than a split routine is bogus. When a natural weight trains they only need 2 hard sets per exercise to create a stimulus for progressive overload.

After watching heaps of your vid's and then making my own program, this is the first time I've heard of the "Opposing Body Parts" split. This is exactly my workout but I reversed the order with arms/shoulders - legs/abs - chest/back done twice a week. Great to have it validated. :) Thanks.
This video has been helpful to me. A full body workout 3 days per week fits with my goals of burning fat and training for shape and tone rather than size.
I notice a good 90% of UA-cam videos just leave you more confused than anything. No matter what subject they are explaining. Blah blah blah then the videos over.
Even 20 years ago, I found that my strength increased quicker with at least 3 days off in between bench/pressing/shoulders workouts, and, now that I am almost 59...I am seeing better strength gains with 5-6 days off.... (with 6 sets of squats, I noticed I picked up 2-3 reps with a given weight, going from 13 reps to 16 reps after a full 6 days rest....)

Thanks a bunch man! I'm doing the full-body 3 times a week (for health and strength, no competition) and wasn't sure if I'm getting it wrong. Now I know that it's just what I need
Full body over splits for me, especially since i can only go three times a week. Focusing around the compound exercises and mixing in different isolation exercises has really helped increase my strength and gains much more efficiently than when i was running a split. Also incorporating all the compound lifts and lifting heavy means that there is no need to do abs separately since they have already been worked.
The whole core does get trained with compounds, however if you want the six-pack you do need to train the rectus abdominis (the abs). This muscle doesn’t get trained enough with compounds (that and adequate diet).
@@olliee1919 I agree with that. I’ve known men who look fat but their core is impeccable. Diet is focal point to abs. But you can’t talk about that in the gym. People more worried about how much they weigh vs how strong they are. Most compare themselves to others. Bone structures, height, genetics all play a role in size and strength.
Last year I had a coach who spent six years playing running back in the NFL. His routine was a three-day full-body circuit which turned-out to be phenomenal for me. Monday was the heavy day with a 1 rep max for chest on the final set, all other muscle groups were all 7 reps but as heavy as possible with increasing weight each round. Wednesday all sets were reps of 15 with weight adjusted, should just be able to complete 15 reps. Friday all sets were reps of 10. We'd start with chest, immediately move to biceps, immediately move to shoulders, immediately move to back, immediately move to triceps, immediately move to legs. One set of 25 sit-ups or crunches. Couple of minutes off and back through the circuit, up to four rounds. The limited resting between muscle groups kept my lungs in the game while at the same time increasing strength. I got pretty strong on that routine, I also burned a ton of calories every session. It was a killer getting used to it, though, and he had to prod me along in the beginning. First few weeks i'd finished at an hour and fifteen minutes, after that I was able to finish in 45 minutes to an hour depending upon my energy. Was probably the best routine I learned but it was hard in a gym where I had to share benches and barbells. But it was this routine that taught me about circuits and full-body routines. I always thought that circuits were for conditioning and weight loss, but now I know differently. I like working everything all in one session, that way if I miss a day i'm not all screwed-up and imbalanced, i'm not a pro athlete, afterall and can't always get to the gym :) And again, burn a TON of calories.
@@steelphantom9105 essentially, yes, some slight variations. FYI, I switched to Crossfit a few years ago and have seen some incredible athletic performance increases from that. Good combination of strength and mobility with heavy conditioning
Max your videos are amazing as always and they've only improved over the years with them becoming more organized and informative. I've been on and off at the gym but I'm back onto it and even watching videos again. I realized that your number of subscribers have grown tremendously and just thought: damn right! You've been making awesome videos all along. Great job!!!😁😁
Dear gravity, i found this very interesting and well thought out and explained but with a few flaws which I hope you don't mind me mentioning: 1. Everything doesn't have to fit into a 7-day weekly cycle and it doesn't have to repeat the same each week. For example you could train M W F Sun Tue Thu etc. Weeks are just arbitrary time periods. 2. There is no mention of cardio respiratory training. Weight training alone is not enough to push the Cardio-vasculo-respiratory system to its limits. It needs sprint training. 3. A lot of gym goers are training for another sport not just bodybuilding, so many will take a couple of days for skills training. Thank you.
It will be hard to track and schedule if you go beyond 7 days weekly. You have to forget about which day it is and instead have to count numbers of day instead. It all become difficult if your gym is closed on weekends like mine.
I do full body two max three times a week and I look like this lol. Over the years I prefer full body, I get to rest my muscles more which means more rest and I also work out the same muscles multiple times a week. My body feels and looks better. You just have to got hard at the gym the days you do go👍
I started with Push Pull Legs, switched over to Bro Split now, 30+ sets total each muscle group, pyramid sets & dropsets. PPL was really nice but I feel I really push myself more & get more sore when I focus on one muscle group at a time.
if your time is limited, isnt it better to go 4 times a week for an intensive hour long workout?... for me it much much better to go 5 times a week for an hour... its straight up annoying to be at gym for 2+ hours....
@@FriedEggsandJellyfish if you are doing full body 3 times a week... you will stay in gym 2 hours each time at least... i have almost no rest between sets (minute or two) while doing high intesity push/pull split and i cannot go under 1 hour... and i hit body part once, 4 sets either as heavy as i can or so i can do 12 reps for hypertrophy... so full body at least 2 hours... how would you approach it?
@@Flash_1689 yeah, that sounded dumb... but i for example dont like working out... i just do it to look good, nothing else, if it could be done without going to gym i would gladly do so
@@Zoltan1251 Yeah but some people like going to the gym, because you can free your mind and get rid of some stress. I for example love goin to the gym and I go to the gym about 5-6 times a week and I love it.
Monday- chest Tuesday- back Wednesday- legs Thursday- break Friday- shoulder, triceps Saturday- biceps, abs Sunday- rest I like to have a rest day in middle of the week instead of having 2 consecutive at the weekend.
I'm in my late-40s & had a hard time burning body fat on the split training so I switched to full-body in apr 2019. I feel alot better without the combined bulk of muscle & fat. I'm actually physically much stronger now where I'm able to lift so much more. I'm definitely sleeping harder. I also feel like I'm 18 again. The only downsides I've noticed is having to buy smaller clothes, my wife missing my "popeye arms" and experiencing at least one night a month of insomnia (don't ask me why but it started then). I'm not advocating one over the other. I'm just stating what full-body training has done for me.
One of my daughters started high school a few month back. She asked me to bulk back up a little because she's getting unwanted attention from some of the boys. Now I'm doing one day full body and 3-day push-pull-legs. Seems to be working.
I really needed a video like this. It helped me a lot. Most videos of this type have just been confusing me. I have watched 10 videos of this type and I haven't understood anything. Thanks.
I started working out on pro split i was not fully satisfied but my body is changing. But when I switched to full body i felt more happy & powerful and i noticed my body changing fast. I do 3 days full body then 1 day off then again 3 days full body then 1 day. I'm happy and growing muscle and my body keep growing and feeling happy. I lost a lot of fat too when doing full body
Great Video, Sir. Looking forward to try this one. Thanks alot, This type of video is very easy to understand with all these graphics . You have earned a sub.
I think most sensible splits work. Ive been doing full body 3 days a week for a couple years with good results. The most important part at least for me has been diet and consistency. I didn't see much change until I started eating alot more calories.
Been lifting for a little over a decade, none of this info was new, but yet it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear to finally get my ass to the next level. Thank you my guy, what a wonderfully crafted presentation. Started following your channel for about a couple months, considering giving your program a try. Take care 👊🏼
With my previous trainer, I used to do push/pull/legs each week, training 3 days a week. Each session was roughly 45-60 min. The focus would mainly be on the compound lifts with 1 or 2 other exercises mixed in. I liked how much stronger and more rounded this made my body feel, but I was missing other exercises. It felt weird going from 6-8 exercises down to 2-3, with a fourth one added in occasionally depending on the day. I also noticed I felt like I didn't have as much energy or endurance as I was used to only doing 3-4 exercises a day. With my most recent trainer who is a pro Olympian bodybuilder, it's been back to the bro splits working out 4x a week for about 60 min with 6-7 exercises though I usually take at least 75-90 min to complete my workout. This could just be because I go at a slower pace on my own. I think this regimen for me is more precise in building and hitting each muscle group and better at burning fat for me. It really does train each muscle to exhaustion so that week of recovery is vital. My muscles often feel at least a little sore or tight going into the next week of workouts. I feel each muscle gets a great pump and is not underutilized. With my previous trainer, I felt like some muscles often biceps or triceps would not feel a good pump. I did like the push/pull/legs split though. With another trainer, we started out this way but after discussing, we decided a fourth day would be best to separate out chest and shoulders so we could focus on those separately allowing the chest time to recover before we hit shoulders. But when we did push/pull/legs, we did about 6-8 exercises each session. This I think is my preferred format for push/pull/legs as I feel a great pump in each muscle. On the other hand, this push/pull/legs regimen also trains each muscle to exhaustion, leaving muscles feeling very sore after training during the week. I felt the third day, and it often hit me hard.
Jeff cavalier has a good split and advises pull push legs rather than push pull legs. One day off then repeat. But split them so they are more shoulder focused for for the 2nd push and chest focused for the first etc
So which one of these programmes do you think is the best for you (most pump and results)? How many times per week and which muscles each day? Thank you 💪
last year I did the split training routine 6 days a week with a bulking type of regime high on calories, Strength went really up but body fat was still high. This year I am doing full body workouts 3 days a week with a cutting regime, Strength isnt the same but the body fat % is getting lower while building muscles. The difference depends on our goals guys.
That's similar to what I do, but I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. Plus, I don't really have a full body routine, all what I do is either play a bit of sports or just rest.
@hank hill yes ofc you can, but isolation needs focus. if u do some biceps isolation your hands will outgrow your legs. unless you balance it and isolate legs too, which will make u do more isolation, therefore, doing full body composed exercises, such as: Squat, pull ups (3 variations) and deadlift...
@@siddhantsingh4692 3x a week following plan 6 min Cardio warmup 1.) Bench press 2.) Deadlift 3.) Military Press 4.) Squad 5.) Rowing 6.) Superset for Biceps and Triceps 7.) Superset for Pullups and negative Crunches Total workout time: 1h40min.
Mine is Mon & Thu- Back, Biceps, traps Tue & Fri - Chest, Triceps, abs Wed & Sat - Legs, Shoulders, abs 90 mins each day and Sunday - Rest I'm now thinking of interchanging Biceps and Chest after watching this video I also walk around 7 kms daily
Yeah I used to do full body and got less gains from it I much prefer splitting it allows to really focus on individual groups to maximise gains and really progress. But I say do whatever works best for you everybody is different.
i work legs three times a week with only 48 hours recovery..but save heavy squats for fridays only...3 day fullbody is more frequent but less volume on day as you work everything
I do full body 5 days per week , I've trained for 40 years and this is the best I've felt ! 1 exercise per body part 4 sets , I do arms and calfs every other day ,
I have been doing full body workouts for 5 months straight and I'm have gotten amazing results. In 6 more months I expect to look like I've been working out for 2 years, highly recommend it.
Full body ( last sets to total failure ) 2x a week ( Sunday/Thursday ) 4 compound 2 isolation sets per body part…throw in a leg/core day ( Tuesday ) and you’ll be amazed at your results within a short period of time 💪🏼
@@assassinlegend1800 Well, I posted this like 8 months ago when I first started doing a HIT style routine. It was a great way of getting into HIT and finding out what my true muscular failure threshold was. I still do full body 2x a week on occasion. But, I’ve refined my workouts since then. I’d be happy to share my routine’s if you are interested.
@@otuzuul77 Well, it changes. My post was 9 months ago when I was practicing a HIT style routine… basically my introductory workout. Now a bit more refined…. Monday; chest, back, biceps Tuesday; shoulders, Triceps Wednesday; extreme legs. Thursday; Monday’s workouts. Friday; Tuesday workout. 3-4 exercises compound, 2-3 isolated. After a warm up for the muscle/ muscle group, one set to total muscular failure incorporating drop sets immediately back to failure ( which I consider being a part of one set ). If am am short on time or the waves are good and I’ll be surfing that week…, two full body workouts… always to failure and beyond!
when i first started i was doing full body workouts to try to get a well rounded foundation of muscle and fitness. as time went on and i lost fat and gained muscle i've been splitting more and more. i don't have such a quick recovery, so splits have really helped me increase the volume of exercise i've been doing each week. good video as always 👍
@@ario3730 it's important to have a good foundation of strength throughout the body before you attempt heavier or more voluminous training. i believe that it's a good idea to do full body workouts with light weight when starting for this reason. as you find what you like and what you are good at you can then specialize your sessions.
I do full body lifting 3x(mon, wed,fri) a week and run 6 miles each day on my "off" days(Tues, Thursday, Sat)and rest Sunday, works for me and I'm almost 44.
kudos to you. I do full body all week 4x and on Saturday I do calisthenics and Sunday is rest. I run 6 miles everyday, I swear by this routine as well. The reason it’s so high intensity is because I’m training for fights.
Full body for me as I gotten older need more recovery time. So far it's been great. Plus with a family and work it works out perfectly. It depends how much time you have and if you have less responsibilities, then you have more time for the gym.
What about workouts where you hit two muscle groups a day? I usually do legs and back one day.. shoulders and biceps...chest and tri's together...is this a good thing to do or is it a bad thing?
Would be interesting if you included the difference in growth types from different training types. This has a major effect on what the effect of your training is. The sports you train for create different needs. Example; a boxer, mma fighter, footballer, basketballer and power lifter all have different needs from thier training.
I do full body 3 times per week, but I also put in some iso exercises like tri, bi and fly. So in total, I have 13 diff exercises, 3 set and 10 rep. and it takes me around an hour, when I dont have to wait for a spot or machine. It works for me.
I've been doing fullbody workout since I started working out for 4 years ago. I don't have the time to be in the gym for more than 3 days a week. It takes me an hour and the half, sometimes 2 hours per session and my results are outstanding. don't think I'll ever have the time to do split.
Monday: International chest day and tri's Tuesday: Legs, light cardio, Abs Wednesday: Back and Bi's Thursday: Rest Friday: Shoulders Saturday: Beer and pizza Sunday: Rest, more beer and pizza
a full body workout works well for me. i couldn't go to my gymnasium just to workout on 1 different body part at a time. if i had a home gym, maybe then. thanks again for a very informative episode.
@@DarK22KiinG Hey. I changed it. Now, I only do calisthenics. Full body weight. Upper body, lower body and abs twice each per week with 4 rounds each too. I rest on Sundays. I am building muscles. Calisthenics is a different animal. But it's much better if you switch your routines from time to time with weights too. I just bought an adjustable dumbbell set. The routine that I posted above works too. Just we need patience to see results. When I do that routine, I do it for 18 weeks then I change it for a new one. Hope that helps.
@@vertigohan hey same here. Mine is more like Thursday upper heavy Friday lower heavy Off weekend Monday upper light Tuesday lower light Wed off Thursday off Friday FBW Weekend off Monday FBW Tue off Wed off Repeat
M: Chest Triceps Abs T: Back Biceps Forearms W: Shoulder Legs Calves Repeat, Sunday rest day. While first chest day in a week do Inclined Barbell Press, then during next chest day do Decline Barbell Press.
My muscles recover fast so i workout 6 days a week but not at the gym. I workout at home with no equipment such as: push up, sit up, squat, calf raises
Three days of splits (Chest, triceps) (Back, biceps) (Legs, shoulders) 2 days recover 1 day full body 1 day recover Do the whole process again next week 😬
Rest is the most important part of building muscle, so i rest the whole week.

Monday was the heavy day with a 1 rep max for chest on the final set, all other muscle groups were all 7 reps but as heavy as possible with increasing weight each round. Wednesday all sets were reps of 15 with weight adjusted, should just be able to complete 15 reps. Friday all sets were reps of 10. We'd start with chest, immediately move to biceps, immediately move to shoulders, immediately move to back, immediately move to triceps, immediately move to legs. One set of 25 sit-ups or crunches. Couple of minutes off and back through the circuit, up to four rounds. The limited resting between muscle groups kept my lungs in the game while at the same time increasing strength. I got pretty strong on that routine, I also burned a ton of calories every session. It was a killer getting used to it, though, and he had to prod me along in the beginning. First few weeks i'd finished at an hour and fifteen minutes, after that I was able to finish in 45 minutes to an hour depending upon my energy. Was probably the best routine I learned but it was hard in a gym where I had to share benches and barbells.
But it was this routine that taught me about circuits and full-body routines. I always thought that circuits were for conditioning and weight loss, but now I know differently. I like working everything all in one session, that way if I miss a day i'm not all screwed-up and imbalanced, i'm not a pro athlete, afterall and can't always get to the gym :) And again, burn a TON of calories.
Did you do the same exercises all three days?
@@steelphantom9105 essentially, yes, some slight variations. FYI, I switched to Crossfit a few years ago and have seen some incredible athletic performance increases from that. Good combination of strength and mobility with heavy conditioning
Max your videos are amazing as always and they've only improved over the years with them becoming more organized and informative. I've been on and off at the gym but I'm back onto it and even watching videos again. I realized that your number of subscribers have grown tremendously and just thought: damn right! You've been making awesome videos all along. Great job!!!😁😁
Thanks Dragon
It seems the Upper and Lower Split done in a circuit format is the best of both worlds. Bill Phillips lays out such a format in his latest book.
Excellent video!
Clear, very informative and also entertaining with all movies cuts without being distractive!
Thanks. 👍🏻☺
Dear gravity, i found this very interesting and well thought out and explained but with a few flaws which I hope you don't mind me mentioning:
1. Everything doesn't have to fit into a 7-day weekly cycle and it doesn't have to repeat the same each week. For example you could train M W F Sun Tue Thu etc. Weeks are just arbitrary time periods.
2. There is no mention of cardio respiratory training. Weight training alone is not enough to push the Cardio-vasculo-respiratory system to its limits. It needs sprint training.
3. A lot of gym goers are training for another sport not just bodybuilding, so many will take a couple of days for skills training.
Thank you.
It is extremely convenient to fit your workout into a 7 day cycle to match it work with your work/study cycles.
Gravity can't speak its not a person it a force!
@@i_love_my_mommy69 bro.. corny asf
It will be hard to track and schedule if you go beyond 7 days weekly.
You have to forget about which day it is and instead have to count numbers of day instead. It all become difficult if your gym is closed on weekends like mine.
also left out is nutrition high fiber and protein diet needed for fat loss and muscle gains
I discovered your channel 10 days ago and have swallowed already half of the content. Amazing work, keep it up!

I do full body two max three times a week and I look like this lol. Over the years I prefer full body, I get to rest my muscles more which means more rest and I also work out the same muscles multiple times a week. My body feels and looks better. You just have to got hard at the gym the days you do go👍
I started with Push Pull Legs, switched over to Bro Split now, 30+ sets total each muscle group, pyramid sets & dropsets. PPL was really nice but I feel I really push myself more & get more sore when I focus on one muscle group at a time.
You just made it so easy to understand mate, thanks 😉.. used to do bro split, I think now I will try push pull... Thanks again
Best for me is full body workout, cause my time is just to limited. I'm lucky if I can do gym twice a week
Same.
if your time is limited, isnt it better to go 4 times a week for an intensive hour long workout?... for me it much much better to go 5 times a week for an hour... its straight up annoying to be at gym for 2+ hours....

How about your forearms?

During the summers when life is crazy busy I love 3 day full body routines. It's good to mix things up and not get set on one thing.

I'm in my late-40s & had a hard time burning body fat on the split training so I switched to full-body in apr 2019. I feel alot better without the combined bulk of muscle & fat. I'm actually physically much stronger now where I'm able to lift so much more. I'm definitely sleeping harder. I also feel like I'm 18 again. The only downsides I've noticed is having to buy smaller clothes, my wife missing my "popeye arms" and experiencing at least one night a month of insomnia (don't ask me why but it started then). I'm not advocating one over the other. I'm just stating what full-body training has done for me.
Idk bro my arms are big and all I do is full body.
Maybe it's your age I'm in my early 30s
One of my daughters started high school a few month back. She asked me to bulk back up a little because she's getting unwanted attention from some of the boys. Now I'm doing one day full body and 3-day push-pull-legs. Seems to be working.
Lifting is not an effective weight lose technique.
I do full body a long time now and my arms actually grew a decent chunk and are noticeable one of my better developed body part
I really needed a video like this. It helped me a lot. Most videos of this type have just been confusing me. I have watched 10 videos of this type and I haven't understood anything. Thanks.
I started working out on pro split i was not fully satisfied but my body is changing.
But when I switched to full body i felt more happy & powerful and i noticed my body changing fast.
I do 3 days full body then 1 day off then again 3 days full body then 1 day.
I'm happy and growing muscle and my body keep growing and feeling happy. I lost a lot of fat too when doing full body
My routine
Monday - rest
Tuesday - rest
Wednesday - rest
Thursday - rest
Friday - rest

Sunday - rest
They say muscles grow when you rest. So I think you are in the right path. Keep up the good work bro :)

Abs/ forearms/ cardio every day
Great Video, Sir. Looking forward to try this one. Thanks alot, This type of video is very easy to understand with all these graphics . You have earned a sub.
I think most sensible splits work. Ive been doing full body 3 days a week for a couple years with good results. The most important part at least for me has been diet and consistency. I didn't see much change until I started eating alot more calories.
great content, no fluff, easy to understand, full of useful information 10/10
Daaam he really covered all questions !
Respect 💪🏿
Been lifting for a little over a decade, none of this info was new, but yet it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear to finally get my ass to the next level.
Thank you my guy, what a wonderfully crafted presentation. Started following your channel for about a couple months, considering giving your program a try. Take care 👊🏼
any change so far?
This has easily become my top fitness channel! Thank you
With my previous trainer, I used to do push/pull/legs each week, training 3 days a week. Each session was roughly 45-60 min. The focus would mainly be on the compound lifts with 1 or 2 other exercises mixed in. I liked how much stronger and more rounded this made my body feel, but I was missing other exercises. It felt weird going from 6-8 exercises down to 2-3, with a fourth one added in occasionally depending on the day. I also noticed I felt like I didn't have as much energy or endurance as I was used to only doing 3-4 exercises a day.
With my most recent trainer who is a pro Olympian bodybuilder, it's been back to the bro splits working out 4x a week for about 60 min with 6-7 exercises though I usually take at least 75-90 min to complete my workout. This could just be because I go at a slower pace on my own. I think this regimen for me is more precise in building and hitting each muscle group and better at burning fat for me. It really does train each muscle to exhaustion so that week of recovery is vital. My muscles often feel at least a little sore or tight going into the next week of workouts. I feel each muscle gets a great pump and is not underutilized. With my previous trainer, I felt like some muscles often biceps or triceps would not feel a good pump.
I did like the push/pull/legs split though. With another trainer, we started out this way but after discussing, we decided a fourth day would be best to separate out chest and shoulders so we could focus on those separately allowing the chest time to recover before we hit shoulders. But when we did push/pull/legs, we did about 6-8 exercises each session. This I think is my preferred format for push/pull/legs as I feel a great pump in each muscle. On the other hand, this push/pull/legs regimen also trains each muscle to exhaustion, leaving muscles feeling very sore after training during the week. I felt the third day, and it often hit me hard.
Jeff cavalier has a good split and advises pull push legs rather than push pull legs. One day off then repeat. But split them so they are more shoulder focused for for the 2nd push and chest focused for the first etc
3 days a Week 😂😂😂
For good Results 5-6 days a week
So which one of these programmes do you think is the best for you (most pump and results)? How many times per week and which muscles each day? Thank you 💪
bro split is the best, but its best for intermediate, advanced and/or people that do sports where recovery is crucial
last year I did the split training routine 6 days a week with a bulking type of regime high on calories, Strength went really up but body fat was still high.
This year I am doing full body workouts 3 days a week with a cutting regime, Strength isnt the same but the body fat % is getting lower while building muscles.
The difference depends on our goals guys.
That's similar to what I do, but I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. Plus, I don't really have a full body routine, all what I do is either play a bit of sports or just rest.
I just got the best option without having to watch this 10 min video thanks
@hank hill yes ofc you can, but isolation needs focus. if u do some biceps isolation your hands will outgrow your legs. unless you balance it and isolate legs too, which will make u do more isolation, therefore, doing full body composed exercises, such as: Squat, pull ups (3 variations) and deadlift...
Bro I shifting for push pull leg to full workout due to time issue, if you don't mind can you give your full body workout split
@@siddhantsingh4692
3x a week following plan
6 min Cardio warmup
1.) Bench press
2.) Deadlift
3.) Military Press
4.) Squad
5.) Rowing
6.) Superset for Biceps and Triceps
7.) Superset for Pullups and negative Crunches
Total workout time: 1h40min.
One of the best explanations I have ever seen
Mine is
Mon & Thu- Back, Biceps, traps
Tue & Fri - Chest, Triceps, abs
Wed & Sat - Legs, Shoulders, abs
90 mins each day and
Sunday - Rest
I'm now thinking of interchanging Biceps and Chest after watching this video
I also walk around 7 kms daily
Push Pull Legs are best .
Recovery Happens in 72 hrs , and you can repeat , There Come The Gains
thats what we used to call a 3 day split back in the day
Yeah I used to do full body and got less gains from it I much prefer splitting it allows to really focus on individual groups to maximise gains and really progress. But I say do whatever works best for you everybody is different.
@@gravemind6536 true, i get best gains from hitting full-body hard all compoun lifts with 2 isolation movements at end
i work legs three times a week with only 48 hours recovery..but save heavy squats for fridays only...3 day fullbody is more frequent but less volume on day as you work everything
@@Mks25932 About the same as a split. I found I could work harder on the fullbody workouts though.
Finally... A video that covered everything I wanted to know 🤗
I do full body 5 days per week , I've trained for 40 years and this is the best I've felt ! 1 exercise per body part 4 sets , I do arms and calfs every other day ,
8:26 is that Hrithik Roshan lmao didn’t expect that
example for some kind of busy guy ... neither i expected that
Even if he is busy he is dedicated to his body for his film he needs that body he earns from his looks
this is gold. thanks
I have been doing full body workouts for 5 months straight and I'm have gotten amazing results. In 6 more months I expect to look like I've been working out for 2 years, highly recommend it.
3x a week?
Upper and lower body routine ✅
I do...
monday - chest/triceps
tuesday - core
wed - arms/back

Full body ( last sets to total failure ) 2x a week ( Sunday/Thursday ) 4 compound 2 isolation sets per body part…throw in a leg/core day ( Tuesday ) and you’ll be amazed at your results within a short period of time 💪🏼
How many sets in total do you do and what exercises?
@@assassinlegend1800 Well, I posted this like 8 months ago when I first started doing a HIT style routine. It was a great way of getting into HIT and finding out what my true muscular failure threshold was. I still do full body 2x a week on occasion. But, I’ve refined my workouts since then. I’d be happy to share my routine’s if you are interested.
@@stevencaldwell838 please do share your routine
@@otuzuul77 Well, it changes. My post was 9 months ago when I was practicing a HIT style routine… basically my introductory workout. Now a bit more refined….
Monday; chest, back, biceps
Tuesday; shoulders, Triceps
Wednesday; extreme legs.
Thursday; Monday’s workouts.
Friday; Tuesday workout.
3-4 exercises compound, 2-3 isolated. After a warm up for the muscle/ muscle group, one set to total muscular failure incorporating drop sets immediately back to failure ( which I consider being a part of one set ). If am am short on time or the waves are good and I’ll be surfing that week…, two full body workouts… always to failure and beyond!
@@otuzuul77 I spend 3 hours or less in the gym weekly…
when i first started i was doing full body workouts to try to get a well rounded foundation of muscle and fitness. as time went on and i lost fat and gained muscle i've been splitting more and more. i don't have such a quick recovery, so splits have really helped me increase the volume of exercise i've been doing each week. good video as always 👍
was that better for gaining muscle ? (i am wondering because i dont know what i should do)
@@ario3730 it's important to have a good foundation of strength throughout the body before you attempt heavier or more voluminous training. i believe that it's a good idea to do full body workouts with light weight when starting for this reason. as you find what you like and what you are good at you can then specialize your sessions.
Wow that's the most diplomatic video I've ever saw. Great work there buddy 👍🏼😒
I do full body lifting 3x(mon, wed,fri) a week and run 6 miles each day on my "off" days(Tues, Thursday, Sat)and rest Sunday, works for me and I'm almost 44.
kudos to you. I do full body all week 4x and on Saturday I do calisthenics and Sunday is rest. I run 6 miles everyday, I swear by this routine as well. The reason it’s so high intensity is because I’m training for fights.

Thank you!
Full body for me as I gotten older need more recovery time. So far it's been great. Plus with a family and work it works out perfectly. It depends how much time you have and if you have less responsibilities, then you have more time for the gym.
What about workouts where you hit two muscle groups a day? I usually do legs and back one day.. shoulders and biceps...chest and tri's together...is this a good thing to do or is it a bad thing?
For real, Gravity is the highest quality no b.s. fitness channel on UA-cam.
Would be interesting if you included the difference in growth types from different training types.
This has a major effect on what the effect of your training is. The sports you train for create different needs.
Example; a boxer, mma fighter, footballer, basketballer and power lifter all have different needs from thier training.
I do 3x full body power building a week with cardio twice a day and it’s been nice and maintainable
