Wow, way to stay open minded even though u have so much success behind you.
The 6 dislikes are the people that have paid for v-shreds content
lol!
Haha
For years I trained a full body workout. Monday, Wednesday, Friday then weekends off. I always felt the 2 days off weekend was important for recovery.
Hey do you have good Results? Gaining weight? Or getting shredded ? Because im Amateur bodybuilder training since 10 Jears 5 Times a week but now my time is gone, to go so often , so im looking for some 3 days Routine
Thx 4 an answer
Damn you're doing a full body workout 3 times a week! That's impressive.
I just do a 10-minute workout everyday and every single day of the week is a difference focus, whether it's leg day, core day, arm day, etc.
I do my workouts in correspondence with certain days of the week, (and every day of the week is a different chakra Focus to) like yesterday was Thor's day (Thursday) which is my day for the full body workout.
I don't even mind when people comment on my channel and laugh at the idea that I called different days of the week by the god they were named after. 😅😅😅
I guess it's my own little way of reminding myself of which day I'm supposed to do what, 😂😂😂
@@unskilledxd6970 have you tried it? How did it go?
The great Leroy Colbert always preached full body workouts 3 days a week. May he rest in peace.
We miss you John
You were like a big brother in bodybuilding world ❤️🙏
You and Jeff nippard both have helped my lifting gains tremendously, you sound like one of my college professors in a kinesiology labs solid information/ no BS, doing cardio and watching your videos is a daily must at the point, thanks for the daily motivation Mr. Meadows
The way that bar was going up so smoothly on the incline press, I thought you were on a Smith machine. Crazy control!
my favorite exercise
It's so true, it really did look like Smith machine. that control and form are mighty impressive.
@@rychier6994
That's what 30 odd years of practicing technique gets you.
I thought exactly the same, it was like a piston pumping up and down
some days do calisthenics, some days heavy compound movements, some days more isolation exercises
That's how I do it but there are countless possibilities, I look forward to this series.
I love the way you say "I'm not sure I'm a fan of that." It's a subjective thought you express in a modest way. Nice! This and Ryan Humiston's channel have become two of my favs. Also will shout a smaller UA-camr called Jon Mango. Great content as well.
Dearly missed Mr john!!! Thankfully theres soooo much incredible knowledge he gave us we can still learn. Even after ges gone hes still teaching us solid gold!!!
I can only train 3 days a week due to work so 3 days full body makes much more sense than doing a push pull leg where I would only be working each part once a week.
That is a good idea. But most people on those types of splits want too much out of it. They say "how can I do squats, deadlift, chin ups, bench, flyes, rows, tricep cables.. Etc. Etc" Fact is you can't. You need "bang for your buck exercises". They expect to do full body sessions but start them with 10 sets of bench press. It's silly.
@@jjwp-ql5rvI usually just do 1 compound exercise for each bodypart for 3-4 sets i.e benchpress, weighted chin ups, military press, dumbbell row, squat, deadlift for example then do a few sets for biceps and triceps at the end, I have 3 workouts and just alternate them.
3 days a week worked for steve reeves
@@ukguy
Sounds like a good idea mate.
Every day of the week is a 10-minute workout for me and every day of the week is a different focus on the body.
Just like yesterday was Thor's day or should I say Thursday as everyone knows it.
which is my own little fun reminder to tell me which day of the week I'm supposed to be doing what.
I honestly don't mind that people kind of giggle at my channel for calling different days of the week by Woden's day or Thor's day.
Woden's day for me being middle of the week is also the heart chakra where I just get my heart rate up for 10 minutes.
And Thor's day is the one day of the week I do a full body workout.
😅😅
R.I.P John. I hope you are smiling in heaven, knowing that you are still influencing the fitness universe
I hope he made it to heaven
Nice exercise selection. With a full body session I would rather start with large muscle groups, like legs, back, chest, delts, tri & bi.
A good one I like is:
Squat
Chin up
Dips
Really basic but a great one, if intensity is high. And it hits a lot of muscles in one workout.
5:00 I really like to do these without any support, I find that they build a surprising amount of hamstring stability and strength. I used to do them everyday when the only thing I had available was a pair of dumbbells and they transitioned surprisingly well to the conventional deadlift which I was able to get in position for the first time I tried.
@thespiritbomb If it is your first time deadlifting you should always have people coach you to ingrain proper form. Fortunately for me the my Uni had a strong powerlifting team that were very helpful :)
I'm ok with harassing Jeff on Mondays but I'm not sure if I can recover quickly enough for 3 times a week. Maybe I'm harassing him too close to failure?
:)
Haaaaaaa
Watching John lift reminds me of watching my dad lift. There’s something about them “old men” hittin it....good video
I've been doing this Mon wed and Friday and gained quit a bit of muscle in a few months 👍🏻
I tried full body workout, just because it’s currently all over youtube. I think it’s total bs. I get very fatigued when i train chest, back and legs on the same day. I know, they say bs like “when doing squats make sure to leave 2-3 in the tank”. Well, how the fuck should I know how many reps I still have in the tank?! I don’t have clairvoyance, k? I progress by constantly challenging my limits. How the fuck are you gonna know what that limit is if you leave it unchecked?
But then again, doing splits where you wreck every muscle only once a week is fucking stupid too. A week has 7 days not 5, k? So this is how I do it and I think everyone else who doesn’t do it like this is an idiot: You wreck one big muscle group and the corresponding smaller muscles per day. For instance: monday legs, tuesday chest, shoulders and triceps, Wednesday back and biceps, Thursday legs, Friday chest and triceps, saturday back and biceps, Sunday legs, monday chest and triceps... see what I’m doing? You don’t make breaks just because it’s fucking weekend. So I hit every muscle 2 to 3 times a week with still having 48hours rest period for every muscle. Makes sense? I just rant because I watch too much Bill Burr, I’m not angry.
I've always loved full body training much more than any style of other training and it keeps me motivated to train. If I'm only doing 1-2 exercises to failure per muscle group I can do way more high quality work then doing body part splits. Definitely looking forward to this John!
Interesting
Thanks for the feedback
I’ve been doing this for over 25 years. I’ll do a full body workout for 2 1/2 - 3 months and switch back to a traditional back & biceps, chest & triceps, legs & shoulders, etc for 3 months.
The key to full body workout is to always mix up the exercises every time you train so as to maximize muscle confusion and to keep workouts as new and interesting as possible. I love getting a full body pump.
@@rpdrpd4153 how do you progressively overload confusion?
@@emiel7479 By getting more confused every workout.
john has spoken! get him a backworkout with Jeff. everyone follow me to jeffs most recent vid and comment "back with jobn"
I started out with 3 day full body dumbbell workout at home before i started going to the gym. Now i switch between 3 day full body and upper lower 4 day split every 3 months or so.
Have you ever heard the Legend of John Meadows the big
when your trainer's face turns red during intense workout.. you're learning from the right person
I need to just give this a try. I’m 43 and I think the change will be good for me mentally and physically. Nothing to lose.
Wanna know everything about Full Body workouts?.............Lookup Leroy Colbert.......i been doing full body for 3 years now and made great gains.........Good Video John btw!
Leroy the legend
Noooooo John!!! Wtf are you doing nooooooooooooooooooo🤣
experiment..short one
Glad to see you’ve taken time to work out with the homeless again. 😀
I usually train full body 3 days a week. My analysis: it’s good if you want to be moderately strong, moderately fit, and have a time limit for the gym. I sometimes vary it with a four day upper/lower split but I really enjoy the full body. But then again, my goal isn’t the physique of the mountaindog or jeff nippard.
you heard john
lets go to jeff's channel
let him know he's my guy!
New camera?!? Quality is higher
Starting Jeff Nippards program today. Went pretty close to failure today on legs(leg emphasis day) and tomorrow I'm going to blast my chest.
Done alphadestiny's way as well in 2018. FBW 2-3 timed a week.
Honestly, hardest I've ever trained. It paid off for a while, but I realized I was missing out on a few accessory movements that I wanted to do. My workouts would be 2,5 hours long and I'd really tired for the next 48 hours. I could definitely feel that I needed the recovery.
These workouts take 1 hour and they aren't as draining. I hope the frequency will work it's magic.
Check out trained by JP Jordan Peters
Been training recently based on Your PPL training You did for M&S and after some small ex changes loving it!!! Great work, great channel, great attitude! Looking forward to Your opinion on this FBW !
Hey mountain dog can u make a full body workout on 2xper week?
It’s more about accumulating volume over the week with less intensity. It’s up to you what you prefer, intensity or volume
I think I spend more time just going with the flow and not being so strict with it.
just listening to my body but staying at 10 minutes.
a minimum of 10 minutes though usually I end up doing more, 😅😅😅
THANX SO MUCH JOHN. I realy like the fact that you only used barbells and Dumb Bells. I have a selfmade home gym. And have only acces to B bells and D bells, and has been wating years to find somebody willing to show a full body w out with limited equipment. 😁
there you go!
Me after 2 years going back to the gym, 3 times a week full body is a good idea!
Has anybody done this type of workout? ill be happy to read your comments..
I've been doing this style of workout for a few months, maybe a year now. I like it a lot, I only have 3 days a week to workout and I want to hit each important body part 2-3 times a week so this works well for me. I pair agonist and antagonist muscle groups together to save time (e.g., bench and row super sets), since the downside of these workouts is that after adding volume for a few weeks you'll be in the gym up to 2 hours at a time. The other downside is you have to choose 2 or 3 muscle groups per training block to prioritize, since you can't get maximum volume for every muscle group. But I'm not trying to step onto a body building stage so I'm fine with this downside as well.
People tend to lose sight of what is really important.Every one is looking for the most optimal way to train, be that an upper lower split, a full body workout, a push pull legs, or whatever.Finding what is optimal for you is good, but what's more important, is that your workout is enjoyable to you.You need to have a routine that makes you want to go the gym consistently.It doesn't matter if your routine is the best there is, created by the best minds in sports science, if it makes you feel like skipping workouts.

Mountaindog, my girlfriend is uber concerned you re screwing the integrity of your spine by lifting such colossal weight Surely you re compressing the whole of your spine leaving it and the whole of your body, vulnerable to injury Why do bodybuilders do that? That s her gripe by the way I m more into couch exercises myself She s the obsessive fitness one Anyway, she says go careful Mountaindog!
i am very careful. this is my 35th year lifting :)
Hey, John. I noticed you didn't tap the weights all the way down to the ground when doing trap bar deads. Was this to focus on the legs and not make it a back workout as well? Or were you trying to save your lower back?
saving low back!
John, if u want some ideas on full body workout you can look up Chad Waterbury. He also has some articles on tnation.
Let's say you have 3 workout in the week so you would do each workout with different rep ranges to hit all those fibers and etc.
You would also want to start with heaviest exercises which are hardest on your CNS.
Chad is a good dude!
I love that you are doing this!! I like how you are open to experiment. I found out about you and your channel by following Jeff Nippard. I think it was a NFL workout you coached him through. I immediately found your channel and watched a couple videos which led to me promptly subscribing to your channel. On my way over to remind Jeff about that back workout 😝 .. thank you. Have a great day!
thank you!
I think the only difference is Jeff’s program starts with the biggest muscle groups and alternates, rather than doing all upper consecutively, then lower, etc. Either way, I was a lot like JM and I never wanted to believe in this, but I’m three weeks in to Jeff’s program and I’m making strength gains and my little nagging injuries are healed somehow. Thanks for trying this JM, love that you’re willing to walk us through different things.
I do total body workouts focusing on compound exercises primarily. After I’m done with that I do a body part in which I’m lagging on the most. Then the next day I’ll repeat and do that second body part I think I’m lagging on. Etc, it works for me. M
Wait though I did not see legs no squats or lunges or leg press wth just trap bar dead lift. I hope it works out but I'm with you John I don't like full body splits.
we'll see what I do wednesday
I do mon Wed fri full Body
bench
row
squats
overhead press
heavy deadlifts instead on rows on wed
Tue/Thur WEIGHTED pull-ups/dips/arms
Rest the weekend been working so far

My all time favorite coach...Ladies and Gentleman ...Mr.John Meadows
Excellent video thanks for all the videos I've seen an improvement in my arms and legs. John you're the greatest extremely humble, your videos are to the point and not all over the place. RIP brother until we make it to the other side.
No squats and only 6 sets for legs, 3 of which look like assistance work. Why not lower body first with a few more sets and finish with then biceps and triceps. Couldn’t you hit biceps with chin up, dips for triceps and get more overall upper body development?
i mentioned why I didnt do chins...i was going to do dips but opted for close grips...it's only 1 day...be patient
Thanks John. I prefer full body even if it isn’t optimal for me. How many total work sets per body part are you aiming for with this program? Any reason you’re hitting upper body before lower. Since lower is so taxing wouldn’t it be better to hit it first when you’re fresh?
I've done it just like you said every other day for years and had great results more of like a circuit training not lifting super heavy tho. I play alot of basketball and softball so it's great for that type of body/physique. I've absolutely gotten stronger & built muscle too that way. Although right now I'm not training that way I'm doing the split because I believe on switching ur training up every couple weeks plus trying to bulk a lil bit but either next week or the week after I'll be doing the whole body training every other day for 3wks or so. I do like the whole body every other day circuit training especially for summer I can get an amazing workout in within 45min even normally I go an hour to hour Ina half tho. That's my thoughts it's great especially if ur not trying to be huge & just wanting like that basketball player CrossFit look lean but bigger than average muscle.
Like you John I am 2 weeks in to a full body routine and i feel buggerd. I'm so use to volume but I am a natural trainer so I have given the volume away due to your advice as well as Jeff's.
Make a program specifically for natty's. please!!!!
i did it is called Colossus!
So cool you're trying this
I don't understand who would dislike this video I love John, only UA-cam channel I come to for advice and tactics to better myself and avoid injury which should be everyone's main concern, keep up the great videos 🙂
would you recomend not to squeze the glutes in the romamian deadlift?
sometimes I do, just depends on what i want to emphasize
Is there a rule that we work the upper body first in a full body workout? Or it does not matter lower or upper body first?
Wednesday I am starting with legs
Rest in peace Mr. Meadows :'(
May have to go to full body for Ramadan possibly.
yep
@Mountaindog1 I wonder if you’d get a pump doing a cluster set on the hex bar instead? Really liked the exercise selection in this full body routine. Very thoughtful.
oh yea!
@@mountaindog1 your instruction on cluster sets has really helped me put size on my arms. I hope they'll work on the hex dead too.
An open mind? I’m sure that’s always been rare in the fitness world. Kudos to you, John for even attempting this. Hope this works for yuh👍🏻
I took one minute rest between sets, probably too fast pace so I got fatigued by the time I finish triceps, Ill do biceps and legs in few hours. do you remember double divided routines from the 90's? might have been Gary Strydom who worked out that way
i am not sure who did honestly?
@@mountaindog1 yeah back in the day was magazines. muscle mag or flex probably they all have insane routines from those huge guys. some would go to the gym twice a day I'm not sure about their rest periods between days but it wasnt much, back in the day it always was balls to the walls
Nice to see you doing a full body split, I started 2 weeks ago I add calves at the end I do miss the pump of my other splits
I remember when we did full body workout when I was young, we were advised to do the legs first because they were further away from heart and they are big muscles. After legs we rest 5 mins, have a banana and milk/raw eggs and then go for the upper body. Back then supplements were not available.
Legs were very difficult bodypart back then. Hence they were prioritized. Now maybe it does not matter.
Wednesday I am starting with legs
It’s not a binary hard vs easy. I workout really hard for the 1st 2 exercises then dial it back just a bit for the accessory stuff
Great video as usual.
This guy is pinning estrogen
I commented "do a back workout with John Meadows!" On Jeff's latest vid
thank you!
If you are concerned about getting sufficient recovery, why are you favoring compound movements over isolation movements?
get more work for all muscles involved
@@mountaindog1 but wouldn't focusing on isolation movements allow you to increase the frequency (e.g., to daily) without compromising recovery? Thanks for your input, I am probably missing something haha,
I love full body workouts. I don't do them all the time. Instead, I do them 3 days a week for, 2-3 weeks. I feel they're great for explosive energies, towards my regular lift days. I feel they also do a little more fat burning.
Also, I don't like to go light. If I don't feel a pump, I feel like I've cheated myself.
I’m also doing a full body workout split Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
Thanks John!!! my recovery time is suffering, looking to change my routine.
Did full body MWF and Endurance and Calesthitcs on Saturday, for 4 years in High School. I was the rare case that went 100% every time all the time. I progressed extremely fast, got huge quick. By my senior year, I was benching 415 squatting 605 and Deadlifting 525. Then all the injuries piled on all at once. Fell apart at the seams. Never took rest periods such as three days off or something just to recover. Now 12 years later and I still have to baby my shoulder and my left knee when I workout. I don't recommend it at very high intensity.
Why weren't you guys bringing the bar all the way down on the incline barbell press? Just trying to save a little on the shoulders? Pretty sure I've seen you bring it down most of the time.
Mike I like to go down to about 1-2 inches above chest..saves rotater cuff and less risk of pec tear
@@mountaindog1 Thanks I'll try it out from now on
What's the reason for not lowering the bar down lower on the incline press?
dont like to strain rotator cuff
As a pro wrestler, I like a full body workout.
For 4 weeks, I do 5 days on, 2 days off.
It's not as taxing on the body when you wrestle every night, it doesn't take up loads of time and all your muscles stay flexible enough.
Every day I do different exercises.
The schedule is usually:
- abs
- chest
- biceps
- legs
- back
- triceps
- shoulders
Would be great to get some feedback.
I told Jeff Nippard that John wants to do a Back workout with him
thank you!
I made crazy gains on every other day full body. On the offdays you load up on food and when you train you're always fresh from that quality rest and calories. Joints always feel good and hard to overtax CNS on this. So progress is very consistent.
Natural? How long had you been training? What kind of gains?
Full body lends itself to naturals whereas you can smash up an individual body part when taking steroids , so I can see why John dislikes the full body approach
Even in between cycles I like doing full body and use the enhanced periods to build up lagging parts
I just commented on jeffs video to do a back workout with you
thank you!
I used to train full body before I got into competing I actually had amazing pumps and was much leaner, my workouts were longer, at the time I really loved this type of lifting i felt great! I tried not to long ago do to a routine this way as something different and got hurt really bad I think it was to much for me personally - I think I’m just not in the same shape as I was before lol it’s very hard on the joints - be great to see how you feel about it on Friday! I think changing routines up is a great thing in my opinion.
This is probably way more beneficial to a beginner-intermediate.
diatomaceous ooze yes I that’s probably a true statement / it used to be effective for me and I liked it but the workouts were very long at the time no big deal - I think going to that now after learning how to train properly and to failure when I attempted it I pushed way to hard and couldn’t handle it without injury / apparently I think I’m invincible lol
Youve got to be really careful with intensity and volume if your frequency is high. You probably trained too hard and too intense for a full body routine
Marcelo Mazocco I know I did when i tried to do the program I haven’t lifted that way in a number of years. I really like what I’m doing now better I feel I’m getting mire gains I was more trying to change things up for a month in between programs and hoped to drop some extra bodyfat - in the end not worth it for me at the time.
The volume has to be low per bodypart.
Mr Meadows you should check out how to beast, David who owns that channel is a full body expert, has been on TRT for last 6 months but before that was natty, he has gained an amazing body from full body splits
John. I train fullbody because I am limited on time. What is the most bang for my buck exercises that I can do?
the ones in this vid plus tmrws
Thanks for the answer.. As for a side note, I believe leroy colbert did fullbody every other Day just like you mentioned
Hey John! I like the exercise selection, overall the idea of FBW is very fine to me, But i realy do belive we should start workouts liek this with legs.
see Wednesdays session
I have seen your haphazardly before, but I am hooked now. I like you. Catch you on Wednesday.
Ha! Basicly what I'm doing. 5 sets 6-8reps
Low bar squat
Pendlay row
Incline bench press
Side lateral raise
Skull crushers
Hammer curls
Then quick 3 exercise an circuit.
Rope pull
Hanging leg raise
Bicycle crunch
Monday and Friday
Wednesday is slightly different exercises with bands working on that pump.
miss you john 🙏🏿 RIP
Is the 2nd workout going to be more leg-dominant , I wonder... TBH, I believe fullbody workouts flow when one starts with legs. The things take longer to warm up, and your upper body does get the blood in. Warming up legs and posterior chain from bench press leg drive doesn't quite work the same though.
You don't train too "easy" with a total body workout. You simply don't push AS hard. Plus, imagine hitting chest day. You get a good warmup, get a sweat...a pump. Then go for it. So you end up with 4-5 exercises maybe 4 working sets each, some to failure. If not all. Chest was destroyed and mission was accomplished. However, you won't hit chest again for maybe 4-5 days, and stimulation is great for growth and shape. Total body, hit every body part with some warm-ups, then 3-4 working sets. What nippard says is on point. You still go hard as fuck on those working sets. Then tomorrow, I'll pick a different chest workout, and hammer the fuck out of it. Third day, ill do more of a deload, mind muscle exercise...like ladder push-ups. Then the fourth day chest won't be a main goal...instead when I hit tris, that will be enough recovery to keep going. Obviously you have a day or 2 off totally. I just started with this program a month ago, and I'm loving the new style. I may not do it forever, but its been an awesome change, and a new found hunger. I'm 5'9" and 193. With the bro split, I was 203ish. But not near as cut and vascular. Every body is different, and we all grow and progress with different methods. I love your vids and consistently watch them before a lift.
Thx for the video, John. I gotta say upfront that I'll always stick to the bro split I do. My question is, and u kinda hinted that you might feel the same way I do, are you really giving each exercise in a full body routine the same intensity you could with a bro split? To me, you seemed winded and a full body kinda lends itself to a more aerobic, endurance side? If that makes sense. I just don't see the deep fiber breakdown because you kinda have to leave reps in the tank to get thru the whole workout. It's almost more of a CrossFit, kinda functional type of workout. More along the tire flipping, kettle bell swinging, sled dragging.
Honestly, I don't think your numbers are gonna be as high in ur reps or weight. It's gonna be interesting to see what happens by Friday. Also, u didn't hit calves directly. I think decades ago, the reason we went to splits in the first place us because as we grew stronger and our intensity grew, we found we simply couldn't do everything in one workout. Better eat and get some sleep and thx again for testing this for all of us to see. 👍💪
Full body routines should only be done once or twice a week. That's how Arthur Jones trained Casey Viator for the 1971 Mr America contest which he won BTW
Every day FB training is trendy today. ua-cam.com/video/nxisr1AalNc/v-deo.html
@@taomahNEGEV I'll take old school guaranteed results over what's fashionable

Hi John
Quick question. When you were in the corporate world, how did you find comfortable business clothing?
You know how the hulk's pants always turn purple and seem to fit him after he grows? John just buys the post-grown ones from the same manufacturer. I believe the name of the company is 616 Marvelous Threads
the dress shirts were the hardest. I had a 21 inch neck with midget arms. EVERYTHING was custom tailored
@@mountaindog1 My shirts look like im wearing an artists smock, tight neck, bellowing round the mid section. Thank you for the advice, I will need to make some tailoring enquiries. Thanks John.
The key to everyday training is to drastically decrease the volume. Do 3 sets of 1 exercise per muscle group and you can still keep the intensity high and 1 or 2 reps shy of failure
Example Full Body Split:
Day 1- Barbell Bench, Leg Press, Cable Row, Dumbbell Bicep Curl, Lateral Raise,
Day 2- Weighted Pull-Ups, Incline Dumbbell Fly, Back Squat, Barbell Shoulder Press, One Arm Cable Curl
Day 3- Deadlift, Barbell Bicep curl, Lateral Raises, Machine Chest Press, Tricep Rope Push Down, Leg extensions
This is a very rough outline I did in just a minute, but everyone should get an idea from this.
It's good that he's experimenting with this; this is perhaps the best way to train if you're natural - especially early on... Splits can be good once your level of conditioning has gone up, after perhaps a few years of training - wherein you'll need higher volume per session. And of course, your gains will be naturally diminished anyway at that point... So it would seem like regular body part splits - or at the least, A/B or upper/lower splits - are for the more advanced. One of the big downsides to regular splits is that it takes each body part 5 or 6 days to fully recover, but with full body you get quicker recovery and 3x a week protein synthesis... Sounds good to me. Just some thoughts. I'll be starting my own 3-day full body routine soon, with my own twist:
1. Barbell work (primarily)
* Rest
2. Light upper (to give my upper body somewhat of a break)/complete lower (hamstring and calf work in addition to squats)
* Rest
3. Dumbbell work

...Great flexibility with full body training, it seems; you can hit different exercises on each day (flat presses for the chest on day 1; inclines on day 3, for example). I've never done this before either, but I'm going to give it a go.
When I've done full body workouts in the past, I've gotten good results. But I like doing 3 to 4 exercises per body part, which, unless you want to be in the gym for 4 hours, the full body routine doesn't allow for that. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Friday.
1 BB Incline press- work up to 1x8 heavy set
2 DB Row with head support 3x8
3 DB Y Raise high incline 3x12
4 Closegrip BB Bench 3x8
5. BB Curls 3x10
6. Hexbar Deadlift work up to 1x5 heavy set
7. KB RDLs 3x15
Do not count warm up sets
Hello John, can i ask you why dont you go full range motion on the bench's mouvement please ?
I do on flat and decline, not incline
@@mountaindog1 yes, but why ? Pec injury prévention ?
I'm having a procedure done tomorrow(anal fistulaectomy), so I'll be out of the gym for a while. So, I'll be doing a full body today. Perfect!
jeremy ethier does the same full body split mon wed fri,but rest days on weekends and obviously different exercises,but its nice to see him,john and jeff approach to this splits.I think its a great way if your low on time eg studying ect
I like full body to change up variation. I also love upper lower splits. Full body I need a few days before I can do it again though
Your open mind is what makes me like this channel so much. The more experience you have on a subject the more you close your mind, which can limit you from learning more
