5 Reasons Why Full Body Workouts Build MORE MUSCLE! | (NATURAL GROWTH!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2024
- It's been 7 weeks since I started training with Full Body Workouts and I currently weight 188lbs! Before I started I had a hard time maintaining 182lbs! But because I'm training full body 5 days a week I'm subconsciously eating a lot more because I'm ALWAYS hungry.
Also, I can't quite say that I'm "bulking" in the traditional sense of the word though. I mean, I AM bulking, but I'm listening to my body and feeding it when needed. Not just forcing calories down my throat for the sake of it. I would call this more of a LEAN BULK.
But I think most of the newly maintained weight is in my legs. You'll be surprised how fast your legs will get THICC from squatting 3 - 4 days a week. Not that they built all kinds of muscle, but they were the last part of my body that still felt / looked quite deflated when compared to before I moved to Florida 2 years ago. I'm sure its a combination of Muscle Memory and increased calories that is the cause of the increased weight.
Regardless, this just goes to show you that as a Natural Lifter, you can really push your limits beyond what you though was possible with Full Body Workouts and the changes happen FAST.

cool
I missed these full-body workout videos. They're so helpful!💪👍
Hi Scott I would like to ask you about the lower back specifically the spinal erectors.
Is there a way to stretch them specifically because whenever I squat and Deadlift even when I bench I tend to get craaazyyy sore afterwards? I know 100% it has nothing to do with an injury or something weird it is soreness but it lasts for way too long and I won't be able to train more frequently.
I use a medium amount of volume in my workouts around 4-6 on squat bench and deadlift and 8-12 for other compound exercises and isolation exercises. That is my personal traditional rep range it can vary sometimes but typically I tend to stick to this rep range.
I am aiming to start a upper/lower body program and once I start getting used to that I want to get used to full body training but my back is always messing me up.
So I really want to know how I can treat my messed up soreness in the lower back area so I can increase my training frequency.
I heard it is bad to foam roll the lower back specifically with a foam roller.
What stretches should I do to minimize soreness and recover faster?
Hope it wasn't too long and thanks for your help Scott really appreciate all the help I can get
@@abdulrahmaniskan7267 when you squat and deadlift, how much are you focusing on BRACING and Keeping your core tight? Are you taking in a breath and holding it during the rep? Are you using a belt?
@@ScottHermanFitness
Yep my technique is very solid and have also gotten help From Bryce Krawczyk the powerlifting man himself owner of the Calgary Barbell gym and channel so nothing wrong with the technique full solid bracing pattern thanks to him.
I don't know if this is relevant info but my arch when I bench is bigger than the average person and I tend to extend my back slightly more than the neutral position that is usually needed when I squat but more than that I don't know. For the deadlift my back is neutral and I brace properly for all lifts.
Please help I know I need to train more frequently but my damn lower back though 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t usually like a video when an uploader tells me to, but for Scott, I’ll make an exception
Haha thanks man!
About 15 yrs ago I trained full body 5 days a week and looked amazing. Then divorce took me away from the gym, got back into training a yr ago, I got lost in you tube vids, bro split workouts and specific muscle groups. Thank you for taking me back to my roots and the full body workout, I Will put a routine together and get back on saddle.
And then you'll be following yet again, another UA-cam video.
Good luck bro
This is awesome timing seeing this. Started doing full body 3x per week at the start of the year. Not because I'd seen others do it but because I wanted to go back to basics. Awesome as always.
I've been doing full body training for about 8 weeks and I love it. It's a lot of fun to be doing something different than push/pull and bro splits. I can't say whether it's delivering better results or not but the fact I like it I think is much more important!
Did it deliver results?
Yes! The full-body workout videos are back! The most effective exercises i know!💪 Thanks, Scott!👍
My pleasure Maurice!!
I started doing full body a couple months ago and love it! It’s great for busy weeks and I don’t feel guilty because I skipped a workout since everything gets volume at some point 😁
I've been doing full body for 10 years at least, and gains are much more significant than ever before, when i did bro split. Not even comparable the two. Based on my own experience i'm 100% sure that for a natural recreational lifter who can afford 2-4 training per week, full body is superior.
Ive always struggled sticking to any training programme after a few months. But i have to say since switching to full body i actually enjoy it!!! I dont dread it!!! THAT is whats been missing for years. I remember when i had my first york dumbbells as a kid and that had a full body workout chart. Maybe the old ideas are the best... Keep up the good work Scott.
Yall cracking me up man especially that checklist skit was damn funny...
I have lived by the split for so many years and made great gains. But after seeing this, maybe i should try out the full body workout! Thanks Scott :D
Varying training split from time to time is a good a idea to avoid "brain boredom".
@@RGV2300 thanks :D
This sounds awesome!! Def trying full body training! Can't wait to go back to the gym Monday!
It's all about listening to your body - it's amazing it took people so many years to realise this (including me!) By not having 'a program' per say just makes things so much easier. Train what you feel needs training that day, rest when you feel you should, eat as much as the body demands and enjoy life without worry about unimportant things. Great video!
i just started school so now i switched to full body 3x a week so i have time and energy to do other things as well like mobility work and see friends
You're my favorite most trusted fitness advisor. Thank you for everything you do!
ive made good gains using 3 day/week full body workouts since i started lifting regularly 4 years ago. I cant do bro splits personally. Great video.
Superb video, loads of good info, entertaining and inspiring! Keep up the great work and never stop lifting! 💪💪💪
Thanks a ton for sharing your thoughts, opinions and experiences with this type of training. I've met in the middle myself.
I do hardcore chest, back, legs, arm, shoulder day and then for 6th workout of the week I hit a full body workout. Low reps and heavy weight for full body. It's working great!
Full body training for sure!!! ❤️❤️this video... came at the right time... thank you !!!❤️
Thanks Scott. I've been thinking about switching to full body workouts but I never knew if it was just hype and another fad or real but at least now I have better information to base my descion on.
Always love your workout tips bro
I have always done full body workout training from the start simply because of not having enough time to do bro splits. I can only go to the gym three times a week so it worked out better to do full body workouts. Thank you for the great videos you have made a huge difference in my understanding and technique.
Damn thanks for this. I thought once a week was enough. Good video I appreciate you buddy. Much respect you said it the best.
I just started a full body routine this video was super helpful! Double like!!
This is gold. Agreeing and identifying with every benefit highlighted
Looking good Scott. You always looked good of course but been noticing some serious gains lately! Inspiring my man!
I was benching while I was watching this and died of laughter when Scott called out Ricky lol
I've been doing full body for a few years now and love it. It seems to be growing in popularity online, but I never see anyone else doing it in my local gym.
I just switched over to total body splits. I really feel like I can go harder on each body part despite doing only 4-5 sets per body part instead of 15-20. So far im loving it.
i love full body, switched from ppl and i love having an app to track my progress. used to never work legs, now everyday is leg day. i wanted to get into full body because of classes and it seemed quicker to do while getting more in than i used to. still got no calves but when i look down in the shower since its been three ish years, i have spartan thighs. also hit bench prs on full body i never thought i could hit in my life. so fun to pass up limits i had for years because i thought i couldn't get stronger.
Big shout out from Yorkshire in England Scott. Love your videos.
Definitely agree with the increase food and rest. I've been doing full body and one hour of cardio for the past two weeks and have been slowly going downhill. I took two days off to refeed and hydrate.
I knew it, just started full body 2 weeks ago and already feeling better
Nice! I know how you feel! Have you been using my Full Body Evolution program?! muscularstrength.com/full-body-evolution
how many times a week do you workout
Never miss aaaaams day! That may my entire day brah! :D
alright, I'm convinced - Great video!
Thanks for the motivation coach, I am 5 months past my catastrophic injuries. It’s time to start rebuilding. I am going to have to adapt and improvise, squats will be interesting as my shoulder isn’t mobile enough for normal squats or front squats. Safety bar may be in order. Ankle mobility has a bit to go. Also dr advises I avoid exercises that put direct load on the shoulder , dips, over head press and flys are no no’s , also benching it is recommended I don’t go ver y heavy. It’s gonna be a humble day when I go to the gym and have to start with tiny dumbbells. It will be a journey and I’m ready to face the challenge. Right now lifting a gallon of milk is an effort , that shall change. I may even be documenting my journey to help others who have been handed a unexpected blow.
Rock on coach I wanna see you at a lean 190 to 195. It will be superb!
I haven’t seen the joker movie yet.
I like that I can skip a day without any regret, as you mentioned. Also I got stronger at alot of movements
It kicks in haaard ! :-) fantastic line!
Great video Scott! Rikki’s side notes make this better 🤣
Haha thanks Dillion! Btw I finally got 6 longshot kills with the crossbow. Have to play the HUGE maps to get it done
ScottHermanFitness took me forever to get those, ready for battle royal!?
We’re missing out on a STRETCH MARk VIDEO SCOTT
Coco Butter and Red Light Therapy have been known to help! No video needed! Look into those my friend! :-D
Uhh what's to know about stretch marks? It doesnt affect your health or training results so I'm against a stretch mark video. Go see a skin specialist if you're really worried about your stretch marks or just do some Google research
Full body >>>
I still remember 8 years ago we all would've been ridiculed for doing that lol
You arent wrong!
That people is so stupid, i mean, going full body can result in brutal workouts.
You still will and should be
Marcelo Bertoli dang dude! Just trying to make some gainzzz
8 years ltr ure still on the couch
I watched the entire movie and didn’t even get the whole girl was a made up thing in his mind until my girl brought it up (speechless) but everything else definitely had to happen! also i started full body training and i love it! I just finished my 5th week. Going to compare my results after 12 weeks and those straps would definitely help me reach much more PRs! I have been watching your videos for almost 10 years now and your content has only gotten better! Much love!
Looking good Scott. Lean bulk was a great idea.
So true! Doing the same exercises can get very demotivating
Love this video! Been following you for years and what you said about freaking out missing a day in your younger years is exactly what I would do. Still freak out a bit but not like before and embrace the day off and rest my body. I’ve also embraced full body workouts this time around in my fitness journey and love it. I definitely feel the difference and think I am seeing some difference too.
I have been doing this for a few months its legit really helped my gains over other workout programs for me, I am at 5x a week with a extra carido day.
Thank You Scott!
You've convinced me to train full body!
I've switched over to a three day full body, guess what happened...more gainz! And better recovery and less stress on missing workouts definitely moving forward full body is for me
Same here buddy. Just started last week. What I'm going to experiment is .one day. One compound and isolation heavy on compound and more reps on isolation... On Wednesday I'll du superset chest and back 12 reps. On Friday I'll super set same muscle group. Compound 8 reps and isolation 12 resp....
Thanks Scott going to try it out 👍👍👍👍👍
I have always done full body every other day. It just felt right although I read over and over again to break it up to push pull or upper lower. It’s bugged me.
Full Body is the truth🙌🏻
I love doing a 3 day full body split. I find it very effective.
Truly will try. .thank you dear
#6 Protein synthesis is whole body so you should always do your legs every workout because they stimulate way more than doing your biceps, so you can grow your biceps by doing your legs.
There is a switch that flips when i do full body that I can't describe. My body responds super well to it
Great video! Steve Reeves did fullbody and trained only 3 days a week.
I've started training full body 5× too. This means I can sneak in extra volume for my legs as they are too small IMO.
I have been training in the gym for the past 5 years, the first 3 years I was doing the bro split (initially), and after a year or a half I started the puss pull legs thing, the last 2 years I am doing the full body workout for 3-4 times per week (train-rest/cardio-train-rest/cardio, etc (cardio=walking)) the progress of my body in those 2 years compared to the previous ones is "tremendous"!
Whats the program
I've tried full body and push/pull. For me, working out every other day with this routine is where I get my most gains. Example: Monday (chest/back), Wednesday (legs), Friday (shoulders/arms). Everyone is different so find out what best works for you.
In periodizing my programs I am now on a two day split plus 10 sets of 10 for biceps as you suggested to experiment. Next month I am scheduled to do full body.
I think the most effective (for me) is upper, lower, push, pull, legs 🙏🏿
DreadFORCE me too my friend! Amazing how this kinda flies under the radar
How interesting...mixing two split choices together
Interesting split, may have to try this when I get bored of full body training!
If you guys want to get started. A UA-camr named Jon Mango can help you out a lot! He's the reason I started this split.
Hmmm interesting
I tried everything.... And what works the best for me it's day 1:chest/back - day 2: shoulders/arms - day 3: legs - rest - repeat
Ury BB Can you share your routine?
I have done target areas and full body workouts too. You cannot go as heavy as you get tired but great pump and I did get results.
Well thought out video. Pretty much came to all these conclusions myself, been on a FB split for a while now, gonna switch over to what I prefer to call a "focuse split" (as opposed to "bro split", it's a dumb name for a legit split that people mistakenly dismiss as not useful) soon just in order to change things up for a while but I'll be back to FB soon enough, it's much funner tbh
good info , how ever the first thing i noticed doing full body vs bro splits was ... strength gains !!
Because you grow fast thats why 💪💪💪💪
Hey Scott,yes the full body definitely does work. i did it three times a weeks for two months and saw some serious growth. It taxes your nervous system but who said it was easy.
Nothing worth having comes easy right?!
Hi Scott, I’ve been doing the ‘Bro split’ for training week. Monday, Wednesday & Friday, upper body. Tuesday & Thursday lower body. What sort of mix would you suggest for to swap to full body on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.? I’ve got spend enough days at the gym to give my wife her ‘quiet time’, usually in the afternoon. Oh, by the way, I’m 63 going on 64 and retired.
Great video. That's how the silver era bodybuilders trained. Does it take longer in the gym though for a workout? Are you training morning and evening workouts due to time for each workout?
Yo, Scott! Would you consider making a video about how to train if you want to be very strong but light (for example like a rock climber) versus big and massive/heavy? Thanks!
I'm new to fitness, I'm following Josh Brolin Cable workout. It has full body twice a week. I love it.
hey man ! Being able to train 3x a week at the gym, would it be beneficial to add 2 bodyweight/Calistenic full body workout to reach 5 full body workout per week ? thanks man, love your content
Props to Rikki for not skipping those KEGEL GAINS
I always train full body usually 3x a week. Have done for years.
Great video! I have a home gym with dumbbells and barbells. Been training 3 days per week, down 33 lbs 🤙
As long as you start most workouts with a heavy compound lift then build on it to concentrate on those same activated muscle groups, hell yeah. Deadlifts, barbell bench press, front squats, back squats, are very effective starters. Front squats especially! They suck, but worth it! Full body workouts are great for rapid overall strength increases, but once that plateau is hit, a switch to lower reps, higher weight is needed. The cheat and recover program Scott has is perfect once you've passed your own personal baselines.
Great video
Hey Scott! Any tips for middle to upper back pain? It started yesterday (rest day). I rolled and stretched it today and it felt good, did my first set of bench and then I could barely sit back up because of the pain. This is my first back injury and I’m not sure exactly what the cause was but I believe it could be from hip thrusts. Any info will help me thank you!!
I’m still happy with my Contrast Training where I do PPL...
But I’ve twins on the way and I say I’ll be going 3 days full body ...
I switched over a couple of weeks ago. In still getting used to it. One benefit of bro splits though, is that you have a week to recover from something, like if you tweak your knee you can stay off of it for six days and let it recover instead of getting back on it the very next day.
Gonna try this..was thinking about it cause of my new job (snow removal) very tiring and physical and sometimes im too dead to go to the gym as often as i used to. Shit part is i end up taking large/small naps more often then getting a full 8hrs because of being on call
Fantastic video Scott, love to see you improving with the research. I made a novice program for myself, can you tell me if it’s good?

Bro split is life, I tried push pull leg day and I felt weaker and overworked, had to take a whole week off to recover, so a full body day is not in my plans
I've been doing Full Body Evolution for a while. Its my favorite routine.
Hey guys. Thanks to Scott im now a proper beefcake however, currently I’m only able to go to the gym a max of 3 times a week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). What would you recommend I do? Chest, back and shoulders on Friday and Sunday then arms and legs Saturday? Or just continue push pull legs. Thanks
Going to start with this I think. Need to order those wrist straps!
I prefer PPL because it gives me something to do everyday. Otherwise, great video!
I prefer it as well. No doubt what Scott says is probably true though, but I just like PPL.
BlueFacondor even Jeff Nippard is doing this kind of full body split
its ok to like one thing, but you shouldnt stick to one thing longterm ever, your workout should always be the opposite of what youve been doing the last 3-5 weeks or so
@@davidl8759 long term yes, forever no. Most programs worth doing are like 3 month blocks though so it shouldnt change that often. That's just me though and I'm more knowledgeable in strength training so maybe I'm not entirely accurate. My 2 cents though
@@ascendedvegeta You are right as well, in the sense that I've done the same program for a few months but things changed in said program, reps, weight, etc. 3-5 weeks was random of me to say, that is true...just I see some people stick to the same thing for soooo long and hit a wall
Currently doing nuclei overload on the overhead press for the second time. I already have pretty big shoulders, but I want to get stronger on my favorite lift.
Did you try behind the neck? For nuclei you have to go light so its safe in my opinion. Im trying that next
@@ScottHermanFitness no not a big fan of behind the neck. I don't go super heavy either, I start light doing 12-15 reps and work up to a clean set of 5 then back down.
Great video Scott..I have switch over to full body ..still find it hard on bench press ..so far max is 0ne 45 plate per side.on the next day tried cheat and recovery with drop sets..that works see major growth in the chest ..trying to get bigger biceps..up to 100 curls a day ..with max 40-45 dum bells..very slow process..thanks
how is it going ed?
One thing i notice ever since i started fullbody are those prs. Its constant progress and you're lifting weights you didnt even expect to lift. So fullbody is excellent for both hypertrophy AND strength training. And the reason is recovery. You have more time to recover then a typical split like ppl or bro split. You got time to relax, sleep more, eat more, and do other activites outside the gym. But when its gym time, you are gonna get pumped since you only go 3x per week (at least for me). I wasted my first year on bro split and it sucks doing that with little progress. Getting in a year into fullbody and damn my progress got tripled. So in conclusion, try the fullbody split! It works
I've also started doing this Nuclei overload training doing 3 sets, 10 - 12 reps (Full body). But I've had numbness in my left hand especially the pinky. But I wasn't aware it was because of the training. Is there something I could do differently that wouldn't have this effect? All of this started in week 1 and done it for 4 weeks. It took 2 weeks to almost fully recover from the numbness. Normally I would have DOMS on my muscles when I only trained them once per week directly, but with this training method I don't get DOMS or almost none muscle soreness.
I switched to full body 3 days a week 4 years ago after training bodypart splits,ppl for years and the progress I got from full body blew them out the water.
I've been training 35 years with different methods and I am favoring a full body every second day to be the best. For beginners push-pull, or push-pull-legs is a good one, but eventually you build up stamina to train fullbody every second day, but I never designated certain weekday for certain muscles, I always just rotate the order, whether it is 1, 2 or 3 split.
Ive been working out for 16 years. Because of my OCD, ive always done fully body workouts.split program doesnt satisfy me mentally, EVER. That being said I may be bias but i see and get WAY more from training than my "split" brothers.i love full body workouts and i dont look back.its given me a complete bodybuilders physique.Everyone needs to try it for a bit.
I'm training for Mucle mass I always do hight reps of 15 - 20 I don't like low reps it's not work for me so well.
So I'm not training for strength this 5x5 workout split do you think it's will work well for me?
I was gonna do split body workouts for 1 or 2 months then I'm probably gonna do full body after for 1 or 2 months, is this a good idea or is it bad
I do a 5x10 full body,one excercise per body part,5 sets,10 to 12 reps
I find myself full body is good to change things up for a while to stimulate some new growth through adaption to a higher frequency over volume but ultimately Ive always found it has its drawbacks long term.
I started lifting doing a full body split back in the 90s for my first couple of years of training and have gone back to it a few times since (even quite recently for a while doing home workouts).
For me the drawbacks are when you start to put on muscle bulk and notice areas lagging then have to address those areas it can be a lot harder with a full body split without adding more volume weekly overall, which then makes the workouts longer or one of your restdays becomes a workout day.
Also I found over time some muscle groups for myself personally responded better to higher frequency where as others needed more recovery time.
In terms of motivation I found a full body can at times feel mentally draining. even whilst having 4 different full body workouts a week with different exercises hitting the same muscle group 4 (example) times a week can feel like groundhog day. It can take the fun out of even your favorite exercises or muscle groups.
Personally Ive found more success with a bro split over the years working with more volume and more recovery per muscle group as my mainstay default programming then when i feel my body needs a change I'll switch to a push pull for a while, but push pull could just as easily be substituted for a fullbody split as both I'll only do short term 8-10 weeks
You said this perfectly! I agree with everything you said. I use to do full body, but it's not sustainable when you want to focus, and it gets boring.
Jeff is getting everyone on the full body trend
Hey Scott, I was wondering about the intensity. In PPL your intensity is high because you will have a couple days to recover before hitting those muscles again, so when doing full body do you lower the intensity compared to when doing PPL?
I would . The ppl legs you do about total of 10-11 seat for chest . shoulders maybe about 5 and triceps 4-6 sets so yes you have to give yourself 2-3 days before you hit it again . With FBW you will do less. 5-6sets and do FBW every other day so you can recover better . But doing FBW every day hmmm I don't about that.
