The Pros & Cons Of Switching Between Full Body & Push/Pull/Legs

[@Jop1989]

Do legs push pull. Day off then do a full body all compound movements and recover on weekend, works a treat

[@AK47_.]

Sounds great.

[@EnhancedChimp]

I like that.

[@casparps]

3 full body sessions per week is better but your idea is cool

[@curtisharolson6643]

I do upper/lower, full body, 3 days per week….I love it

[@curtisharolson6643]

@M43K u have three day of rest

@Yirlani legitimately, you know what I meant.

[@limitisillusion7]

I like to replace leg day with a full body workout in a push/pull/legs routine. I give a few extra days of recovery afterwards. The PPL routine has all the accessories and the full body is just heavy lifts and bodyweight stuff. It the main reason I like it is because it keeps the routine fresh.

[@brycenichols3437]

Smart idea

[@pretty_flaco]

i also do a sunday pull/monday push/thursday fullbody split… 30 minutes of LISS walking and mobility on tuesday and friday

[@allentaulbee6519]

law of accomodation change everything every week and attack weak points use diferent bars add bands and so mch variation when you go bck to the core lifts you see true strenthg gains but thats just what has worked for me

[@IYgoob]

I do full body on monday and wednesday and then upper on friday and lower on saturday.

[@deltalordtrading]

What about a Full Body on Monday , Push on Wednesday and a Pull(and legs) on Thursday? All muscle groups still getting hit 2 times a week.

[@georgeperez4685]

Upper lower is also a good routine, personally

[@corryface]

Good lad Sean, i like a leg burn once a week too. I have maps aesthetic there, yet to give it a rip tho for this reason, good luck fella

[@Collinzmusic]

No reason why you can't do full body and then using some machines afterwards. Maybe it's wrong to say that but I always want to give my all when doing my workout. That has worked for me for a good while and it makes doing my work easier. I would always have the same full body workout but would change what area I would train after the full body workout to a different machine and would rep it out.

[@aweimoleayopeter6960]

Sounds like a smart idea... That way you leave no stone unturned.

[@Collinzmusic]

@@aweimoleayopeter6960 hope it is right what im doing anyways. All I know is from doing these workouts I notice that in work when I bend down and shit now its effortless you know.

[@cactye]

I’m thinking about switching from a full body 3 day split to a 4 day push/pull split since I also play basketball 1-2 times a week and would like to switch it up a bit because I always have to have a rest day after full body, but not necessarily after a push or pull. Any advice?

[@thomasoakley4833]

Dorian's original gym closed a while ago, ended up finding the place accidently when doing Christmas shopping (old signs still up) and literally froze 🤣

[@MTPT299]

I actually trained there back in the day,must have been 96/7 time.The guy was a monster,fantastic bloke though.

[@daniell5751]

I Like Chest/Back Legs Shoulders/Arms Off Fullbody Off Off

[@jeweltan7566]

really resonated with the part - have someone to create the program for you and follow it through, bc when you do stuff on your own you do tend to gravitate back to old habits and training patterns, along those lines... - I always tend to gravitate to old patterns aaaa

[@danielandrews8142]

I really want to start one of your programs but I have hip issues (full replacement) and it limits me with squats, deadlift and leg press. If I'm following a program how could I substitute these exercises? I tend to do heavy Sledge Push and pulls, morning lifts and Bulgarian squats. This is the only thing that's stopping me purchasing a program

[@Boriqua76]

Keep the sled pulls and I’d recommend knees over toes for a while

[@christianbotello8537]

Fuck, I need a program no cap 🧢

[@monsieur420]

I have a 5 day split program 4th being legs and 5th day arms. Im obesed currently 293 used to be 350. Should i stick with the 5 day split because lately i just do based off how i feel the day today was arms and traps

[@NoLimitsLi]

it doesn't matter which split you use, as long as you enjoy it because most importantly is overall energy balance. Make sure your energy input (calories in) puts you in an energy deficit and you'll reach your goals in no time

[@cptmarcus]

are you doing the jeff nippard 5x full body strength program split

[@monsieur420]

@@NoLimitsLi hell yeah I enjoy every workout i go pretty much everyday since they opend up back in california. Wasnt seeing any weight loss until i went to a deficit im currently at 48% muscle 49% fat also i walk and stand all day at work average about 14-15k steps a day

[@monsieur420]

@@cptmarcus no I do a 5 day split a trainer gave me at my local gym for two months supposed too switch it after the 60 days but never really never got to do it consistently before because of shutdowns, also full day body splits feel like they take longer.

He wont last doing fullbody. Guys that love body splits and jump to fullbody they will go back in a week

[@philmcrackinnow]

I think they both suck for experienced lifters. Full body doesn’t focus enough on individual or lagging muscles and PPL is 6 days, which is too much.

[@santiagoca7049]

So, Upper/Lower for the win?

[@philmcrackinnow]

@@santiagoca7049 Well, If you give each upper body muscle the attention they deserve, you’d end up with too much volume and too long of a workout. Only way to make it work is to do very little for each muscle. I prefer this: (Total sets listed) Day1 - Chest, back, rear delts, abs (19) Day2 - Tricep, bicep, shoulders(14) Day3 - OFF Day4 - Chest, back, rear delts, abs (19) Day5 - Tricep, bicep, shoulders (14) Day6 - Quads, hams, calves, neck (18) Day7 - OFF Day1 - Chest, back, rear delts, abs (19) Day2 - Quads, hams, calves, neck (18) Day3 - OFF Day4 - Chest, back, rear delts, abs (19) Day5 - Tricep, bicep, shoulders (14) Day6 - Quads, hams, calves, neck (18) Day7 - OFF Day1 - Tricep, bicep, shoulders (14) Day2 - Quads, hams, calves, neck (18) Day3 - OFF Day4 - Chest, back, rear delts, abs (19) Day5 - Tricep, bicep, shoulders (14) Day6 - Quads, hams, calves, neck (18) Day7 - OFF Repeat. So you’re working out 5 days, which is better than 6, because you get more recovery. You almost hit everything twice a week, which is optimal. The triceps and shoulder the day after chest isn’t a big deal because total volume for chest was only 6 sets, so it’s not like you had a full chest day like you would in a bro spit with 12 sets. Arms need to be prioritized in my opinion if you’re looking for balance. Too many of these other routines only see arms exercises as accessory work, which is not good if you have lagging arms. They need to be fresh when they get hit, not fatigued at the end of a chest or back workout. You can’t give them 100% if they are treated like an afterthought.

[@santiagoca7049]

@@philmcrackinnow I see. I'm going to test it for a couple of months to see how I feel about the volume. Although upper/lower was the style that helped me the most to develop upper body strength

[@philmcrackinnow]

@@santiagoca7049 I’ve tried literally everything and this is the best I can come up with. Here are the total sets for each muscle for each training session. Keep in mind that most of the time you’re hitting everything twice a week. Chest: 6 Back: 6 Quads: 6 Shoulders: 5 Hams: 4 Calves: 4 Neck: 2 for front, 2 for back Triceps: 5 Biceps: 4 Rear delts: 2 Abs: 3
