Should We Train Full Body Workouts Every Day (5dys)

[@loulopez554]

As a young bodybuilder here in northern Calif. I met the great Jack Delinger who I asked about spilt routines which were new back then. He explained that full body workouts three times per week was all he ever did. I'll never forget that day.

[@Fitand50Formula]

I like the time efficiency of full-body workouts 3 times a week. When I have more time to train, I move to 4 days.

[@tyraelangel2549]

Its sounds like Steve Reeves style bud i quess it takes 2h and half or 3h for lenght workout.

[@devinnorsworthy9154]

The science tends to always say that those that train 3 times a week vs 5 times a week always have the same relative outcome. This could also be a result of myostatin limitations. Realistically, you'd assume, even though, gaining the same amount of weight and strength, maybe endurance or some type of performance output would be different. A boxer that trains 6 days a week will inherently defeat one that trains 3.

[@iamdancer]

I have had more success. When I break it up for me. I get too gassed at the end of a full body. Workout versus if I do push. I can go all out and maximize more games. So it might be an endurance thing for me. I am going to go back and try this full body. Now that I'm a little bit more. Into my journey.

[@iamdancer]

Although my stamina for cardio is pretty d*** good. So i'm not sure why

[@drewmorg.]

As a "hard gainer" naturally slimmer body type, I feel that any lifting routine which stimulates natural appetite usually leads to most size and strength gains. Getting in more volume and more training frequency is what does it for me. Even doing HIT daily, or every other day, or even 1 muscle group per week stimulates almost no appetite and thus I do not gain much size or visual differences in physique. Working out with a full body approach, 2-3 sets per group significantly stimulates appetite for me and I gain weight much more quickly.

Interesting !

[@jonatanolsen37]

@@drewmorg. you got it. A full body workout will stimulate alot more apetite than a arm workout.

Now, this is where I would be confused on HOW to train in the past. Your video will help put that confusion aside.💪

[@SarahBradshaw91]

I’ve watched this video twice and I’m still confused.

[@Fitand50Formula]

There are so many different training options I can see it getting confusing. If you are a newer lifter, start with full-body workouts 2 or 3 times a week. Once you’ve become more advanced and are not longer progressing, then it is time to advance to a program that will have you training with a higher weekly volume, which could include increased training frequency.

[@raoulduke3770]

I tried this full body 5 days a week and my cranky shoulders complained. Moved to upper/lower split 5 days a week this past week and they’re already feeling better. Got to listen to the body I suppose.

[@GreyWolfFitness]

I defo think it’s about the volume for most muscle groups wether you do all in one session or spread over several sessions it’s up to the trainee and there age and recovery ability with myself spreading volume over 3-4 sessions averaging about 12-15 sets a week per muscle

[@Fitand50Formula]

I would agree, Craig, with the caveat that too much volume in one training session reduces the effectiveness of that session, and at that point, it would be better to add a training day.

[@Jason-vx2rt]

Hey Lawrence! Great video as always. I am 52 years old and have been doing F45 training for the past year. I would appreciate your thoughts on a 7 day a week workout schedule where they alternate between resistance and cardio training days. I've had great results with increased fitness level and definition, but would like to see more muscle growth. Thanks!

[@Fitand50Formula]

I alternate resistance and cardio with quite a few of my clients, but I always keep the cardio low-intensity to ensure they recover in time for their next training session.

[@dwaynecunningham2164]

Always makes my day when I see you posted a video. Have been making great progress using incremental weights.

[@Fitand50Formula]

Thanks, man! I wanted to look at full-body training from a different angle.

[@itom2855]

Hi sir I have been training for approx. 2 years but not setting much difference in my body. So I recently started full body workouts 3-4 days a week. So my question is will this split give me the best results or i should move to a new split? If yes please suggest a new split. A reply from you would be appreciated😊.

[@Fitand50Formula]

When it comes to seeing physical progress, body fat levels play a role. I like having mine at least as low as 15%, and it’s often even lower. Next is progressive overload, especially on your compound movements. You should try to do one more rep or add more weight to each exercise every workout. If you’re doing those things and are no longer progressing, then it might make sense to increase your training volume with a workout like this as long as you recover quick enough.

[@80sGAMER]

Why is it that every weightlifting channel has to have this serious persona? Smile a little, it wouldn't kill you.

[@henriklorenzen7516]

I wonder and I wonder that many people think that they develop more muscles with full bodu training..??? When I was 20 years old, I trained all muscles three times a week, with a two-split training program. But then, over the weeks, the muscles stopped growing, and you became weaker, and the immune system fell, so I mostly got strep throat, or brochitis..? I later found out that I overtrained.. I have discovered in you, as I will now be 56 in a week, that my body grows best by having 3-5 days of rest around the muscles that are being trained. Man must understand that when you exercise, you never build muscles, but you break down the muscles, make them smaller, and make them weaker.. The brain then reacts by trying to build the muscles, and by using one's diet as building blocks. When you exercise, the muscles expand, but that's because of the blood flow, but they don't grow, they get smaller and weaker. And therefore you only notice a little soreness in the first 24 hours, but much more soreness after 48 hours, when they grow the most. If you jump in and train them there again, you break them down from growing. Even on the third day, they grow down more on the fifth day, but decrease slightly compared to the second day. That is why it is important to train them only after the fourth day or later, so that you make the most of the training and the growth, which is a process over several days. You also cannot increase the growth of a newly planted tree by pouring more water on it. Nature's process has a time..! And it doesn't make a big difference whether you are 20 years old or 60 years old...!

[@Fitand50Formula]

I’m 57, and I have always had success with full-body workouts; as a matter of fact, that’s how I’m training now. I’ve even done push-pull workouts 4 days a week, which are very similar to full-body workouts, with great success. You’re right; it comes down to recovery, which includes muscle protein synthesis, sleep, and nutrition. If those aren’t on point, you’ll need more time to recover.

[@skeletorrobo]

Great video. By the way, do you train neck muscles? If so, how do you do it?

[@Fitand50Formula]

I don’t specifically. My trap development has improved a lot since I started incorporating 45 degree elbow out rows into my training

[@skeletorrobo]

@@Fitand50Formula Thanks for the reply. That's good to know how to approach the training. Useful as we age, for sudden head turns, weird angles etc.

I've tried this with only two sets per exercise for three days on, a day off and then two days on and off again. Whooped my ass not even trying to progress..42 y/o lifter here..

[@Fitand50Formula]

Thank you for the feedback. The closest I’ve done is a 4 day a week anterior, posterior split where you work the whole front of your body one day, including chest and quads, then you work the back half the next day, including hamstrings. It works well but also provides one more rest day.

[@shantanusapru]

Nice video, Laurence!

[@michaelcraig9449]

How would a person set up this type of workout? You did not mention that, you just skipped through it real fast, with no routine to go by. So what routines would a person follow?

[@Fitand50Formula]

Screenshot the full body workout they did in the study at 4:41 of this video. What I like about that workout is they did a different exercise for each body part each day. This will be key in helping with recovery. Also, adjust for your recovery ability, as this workout is designed for experienced lifters. The last thing would be to deload after doing the workout for 6 to 8 weeks by reducing the volume by 50% or taking a week off training.

[@donutfitness6324]

Let me challenge a few items... Although muscle protein synthesis returns to baseline, that does not mean the repair and remodel is complete IF muscle damage occurred this can take several days longer than that. You don't quantify "growth" and neither do the studies. I'd argue it's almost all sarcoplasmic. Look how relatively small the full body daily guys are. If most of them dropped carbs and stopped training they'd look like they never lifted. This surely drives strength...but that is all driven from getting good at a movement and from myocytic androgen receptor. The repeated bout effect is really going to keep damage from occurring when you train this frequently...so the question is...what are we getting from it. Just a few thoughts...

[@AMAMBT]

the new fashion now in training ( I'm not convinced with ) propagates \ advocates that it is not important by any means any schedule or even the form , just go and train whatever you may prefer as your body will direct you towards what it needs and eventually it is all about genetics. my question is , is there any logic or data to support the ' new wave ' claims ?

[@Fitand50Formula]

It’s essential to have a plan when you go into the gym. One of the main reasons is progressive overload; you need to gradually lift heavier or increase volume through more repetitions or sets. I’ve also found our bodies tend to direct us to what we like to do and not necessarily to what we need to do to improve.

[@mr.g.916]

I haven't added muscle in 30 years while trying every plan known to man.

[@Fitand50Formula]

The longer we train the harder it is to keep progressing. At some point the goal becomes to keep from slipping backwards.

[@mr.g.916]

I agree, yet so many guys on KZbin talking about how to build muscle, but they are the same size they were 10 years ago.,

Nothing is wrong with this as long as you feel you’re recovered for your next training session. I recommend doing resistance training before running, especially if your priority is building muscle.

I love full body but don't quite understand how you can do them 6 days a week? For only 45 mins? Are you actually doing full body every season? It takes me 3 hours to do a full body workout . That includes warrm up sets and 10 mins cardio. . Would not even consider doing 2 days in a row . 3 times a week spread out various days.

[@FiftiesForward]

Men have alot of time on their hands tondo this

[@Fitand50Formula]

Making time to train is a real issue. If we can’t resistance train 5 days a week, getting in at least 2 or 3 sessions weekly is sufficient.
