Full body workouts

[vipertrust]

Do you guys ever do full body workouts in one session or do you prefer to split up muscle groups?

I have done them back in the day

I do splits

this allows me to crush a muscle group and then let it rest for a few days while i crush another group

full body workouts are fine but you can't crush your body daily or you will run it into the dirt

tough on the CNS. but i must do fully body days to keep up strength when training muay thai, which i need all the other days. but if weightlifting is you focus or sport; splits are great. i will even do an intra-day split separated by 4-6 hours just to handle the fully body in 1 day.

There comes a point, strength wise, where killing the legs means it'll take a few days to recover. So doing so, as part of a full body routine, would only be possible 2x a week at best.

if weight training isn't your main fitness sport/goal then yes i agree that full body workouts done at 40-50% intensity/strength is smart

when i was an endurance runner that is exactly what i did.. i weight trained only 2-3X per week because i was focused on running 5X per week

it would make zero sense to go in there and trash my legs doing a split routine and then the next day run 6 miles

They're good for developing athleticism but not the best for bodybuilding. It all depends on your goals.

My main goal is physique development so I personally stick with splits

Really depends what your goals are. Any workout is an effective workout depending on the goals.

Currently doing full body program it's ok and heavy taxing but not for bodybuilding
