Being a firefighter and on a 4 on 4 off shift pattern a full body 3x a week is by far the easiest and most convenient thing for me. I did try the bro split but found I would actually end up missing out days and I just didn't care to be in the gym 5 days a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday is enough for me, but I sometimes do a Saturday or Sunday if I'm feeling up for it.

24 hours on, 72 hours off here. I find it easier and see more consistency when I do a body part split, 5 days a week in the gym. The consistent daily routine has great mental health benefits for me as well

I thoroughly enjoy doing splits. My ADHD goes into overload when I even think about trying to do full body. After months of watching you guys i think i need to get the splits program because I would like to do it in the most effective way. My coach has me on a crazy program right now so I’ll see that through and consider MAPS Split next. I appreciate that you built a split program for those of us who simply enjoy that way of training. Great info!

Dunno, I've tried all of them and found splits much better for aesthetics and overall gains due to the extra isolation excersises you do, only split I haven't tried is the 6 day PPL, seems overkill imo however have done full body, UL, 3 day PPL and bro split for years.

3x a week full body has been great as a beginner for a number of reasons. Biggest one being time commitment. I'm a husband and a father. I work a full 40 with a commute and rotating on call days. I can't commit to the gym 6 days a week. They gym is now apart of my life and not my whole life. It's easy. There's plenty of full body programs for free and starting out it's all the big compounds and 2-3 accessory exercises. I have a feeling eventually I will stagnate and need to switch to a PPL or upper/lower but maybe just stay doing a simple full body with moderate weight if I'm happy with my physique.

There are ways to reduce time in the gym, supersetting, myro reps, drop sets, and its harder to super set doing a dedicated push workout, with FB you can superset bench/row, compound/isolation, legs/arms, reducing gym time a lot. It takes more effort but when you get used to them it is great. For example i superset hammer curls with squats on a monday, i superset chest supported rows on friday, and i superset arms and abs.

What are your thoughts on someone running maps split and it’s only been 2 years ?

I know for me mentally I hate full body training. I think the best split is the one that you most enjoy doing and will keep you the most consistent going to the gym. I think that was not really mentioned here. There are days when motivation is lacking and knowing you have to train the entire body, at least for me is hard to overcome. So when I go to the gym feeling that way I almost always will skip a couple body parts on those days to get through the workout. On push, pull, legs or upper/lower, those days just make it easier to get through the workout.

@Andre Leite da Silva Agreed. The biggest mistake I see people making with full body is too many exercises.

Monday: Low Bar Squat Bench Pulling movement Curls/extensions Wednesday: High bar squat Dips/Pullups Hamstring curl/laterals Friday: Pin Squat Overhead press Incline bench Curls/extensions You can also throw abs, calves, forearms, pullups, cardio on Tues and Saturday but keep the sessions short and fairly moderate.

Doesn't look all that effective to me. You can't focus on width unless you mean the muscles that make you look wide like broad shoulders and big lats. And depth as in ROM should be prioritized on every exercise. Lastly you should place focus on lagging muscle groups specific to your body. Most people would benefit more from focusing on glute development as opposed to quads but again that all depends on the person.

Many competitive bodybuilders have succeeded with the bro split but many many others have also failed to build even moderate amounts of muscle with them. Bro splits are a pretty terrible for many people but if you like training that way, are recovering, and making progress that's all that matters.

Honestly I think people overhype the extra muscle gains you get from higher frequency training. The benefits are only maybe an extra 10% and over a 5-10 year period you will reach close to your muscle building potential anyway so just do what you enjoy and can stick to and you will be fine!

I rotate between full body workouts and then upper/lower split. Every 4-6 weeks I change between the two and then change the rep range.

I am almost 62, and do HIT and I could never make it through a full body workout. I wish I could. After 45 minutes or so, I am SPENT. I have about a 20 minute walk home and I am sure I look like a slow moving zombie. Doing the Dorian Yates 4 day routine.

For me, an upper/lower works better because I can devote more volume to each without being there for a long time.

The issue with full body for comp, is a lack of definition because you don't have time to do all the isolations. The other issue is if you are really pushing yourself to the limit on every muscle group in a full body routine, your CNS takes an absolute beating.

@@assassinlegend1800 yes you will get defintion but they're talking about preparing for competition. Training needs to become a lot more specified. Also if you train 3 times per week you only get 2 rest days max between workouts. I'm not sure if you've ever done a full body workout of 10-15 exercises with heavy weight high volume going to failure, but doing that every second day is not sustainable.

Not that it won't work at all but I would say your results would be very limited. Could you do 1 hard full body workout and 2 body weight days? Something like pushups, dips, pullups, lunges, ab work, etc? That would be way more doable and you could do the workouts anywhere. Or maybe you could bring a loadable dumbbell or two with you for your 2 other workouts while you're on the road?

I've kind of changed my mind on capping the total exercises to 6 but if you're new to full body training I still think it's a good idea. Even then, if you decide to to more than 6 exercises you're better off capping this to 1 workout and doing less exercises on the other days you train. Gotta find that balance between hitting all your movements each week but not overdoing it. It can be a fine line to draw sometimes.

I think these guys give too much credit for fullbody/3x weeks. Its not the holygrail, and the only way make progress. Its a good way to train if you are a beginner(worked for me for the first couple of years of lifting) to intermediate, or dont know how to train with high intensity, AND recover from it. That means good nutrition, good sleep and little stress from job or life/wife. It might require TRT in some, or probably in most cases, but not hc ped cycles. If you can add weight/sets to the bar every week/every other week, you WILL grow pretty fast. And that can be done for example with good PPL 3x/week. Maybe switching to lower intensity fullbody every now and then is a good idea for advanced lifter, just to give the body a diffirent type of stimulus, and try this synergistic fullbody growth signal. But that just my opinnion, and what I have noticed for lifting over 15 years.

@Soccasteve

2 жыл бұрын

@@petpuu I think he was saying it's unproductive because you're only hitting each body part 1 time per week with PPL 3 times a week. I agree that progressive overload is more important than volume but it order to overload you need a certain amount of frequency and 1 time per week is just not enough to continue progressing for many people. I've also been working out for over 15 years and the reason I like full body is because my recovery is high, and my frequency per body part is high. I tend to favor frequency over high volumes per session so that necessitates a full body setup otherwise in order to get my desired frequency I would be lifting damn near every day of the week and I simply don't recover from that. I also don't get anything out of high volumes in a single session. Even something sensible like upper/lower 4 times a week means 4 fairly hard workouts, which, quickly ramps up my systemic fatigue and leads to poor training sessions (for me at least). Whereas, something like a full body 3 times a week only includes 2 hard sessions and 1 medium/light session. Much easier to recover from that. I think some people shit on full body simply because they don't like training that way and usually these guys started out with splits (which is cool, no sense in training in a way you don't enjoy) but that doesn't mean it's ineffective for advanced lifters. Like Sal talked about, full body training was the main training split for decades before steroids became wide spread. It certainly put on a lot of muscle for guys like Grimek, Park, Reeves, etc.

I like full body twice a week.

True, most people you know who have made a name for themselves in lifting have used splits to build their physique but these guys you hear about are people who have good results and respond well to training. That's why you've heard of them. That means, they recover well from training and are able to progress in their workouts over time. That doesn't mean their training style is going to be effective for the vast majority of people who aren't like them genetically and whose life isn't set up to pour everything they have into working out. Just because they have an impressive physique training PPL 6 times a week doesn't mean that is going to be the best split for you. In fact, it's pretty well known that beginners who are under weight and have a lot of muscle to gain, have terrible results with such a split. If it wasn't for recovery I wouldn't think one split was better than the other and that you can get very similar results running whichever split you like. However, as someone who has run all kinds of splits over the 15+ years I've been training, I prefer full body workouts and have made the vast majority of my gains training that way. Why do I train this way? Simple. This setup always me to recover well and my progress is much more consistent. With a full body split 3 times a week you can have 2 hard days and 1 medium/lighter day. You can also add other days as long as they're lighter movements, stuff like abs, calves, body weight movements, etc. This gives you good frequency/volume per body part and allows you to recover so you actually progress. Even with a sensible split like upper/lower that's 4 pretty hard days that you have to recover from, unlike 2 from full body. This doesn't mean you can't progress using splits but if you're just a regular guy who is even decently athletic you're probably going to have better results from a full body split or a more moderate split like upper/lower. Bro splits or PPL splits are probably going to result in poor recovery and poor results especially if you aren't already decently built. Also why are the bodybuilders from the 40s and 50s not good examples for why full body workouts are effective? From Reeves, to Grimek, Park, Ross, Eiferman. Those guys were all insanely jacked and all used full body training. They weren't on drugs and had normal jobs and fairly normal lives yet were still able to build amazing physiques.
