How to run a Full-Body training split?

How’s it going everyone?

First edition today of the training plan series on YouTube.

We’re kicking things off with an absolute banger of how to design a Full-Body training split.

Before you dive in I want you all to understand something up front.

Full body isn’t for everyone and you need to be at a certain point in your training career to really benefit from it.

Full body training will really leverage training frequency as you’ll be able to hit every muscle 3 times a week.

It can be really useful for beginners in their first 0-2 years of proper training (even people who think they’ve trained properly for 3-5 years can take a step back and milk a full body split)

Now the reason we can really leverage training frequency here is as a beginner…your needs in terms of set numbers to create an adaptive response are so low.

You’ll only need 1-2 hard sets for a muscle group in a session to cascade the stimulus > recovery > adaptation process and then you’re back in 48 hours later to hit EVERYTHING again.

Volume in terms of set numbers per body part are this low as your training frequency is super high.

Anymore than 1-2 sets for most body parts and you’re gonna struggle to go again in 48 hours time.

The beauty of this set up is you can get on such a run of momentum with progressing your lifts over the next 6-12 months.

Then once you fully exhaust this set up…you’d likely be ready for something along the lines of an Upper/Lower split as you’ll likely need more sets per body part in a session to create an adaptive response.

But make no mistake…Full-Body training is HARD.

Not many people wanna queue up to hit legs 3x a week.

But the rewards are HUGE for anyone willing to dig in with it.

Make sure you’re all subbed to my YouTube…video next week will be on setting up Upper/Lower.

Talk to you all in the next one.
