Don’t, go to 1 rirSo why go to failure if we want less fatigue?
youre doing 1 set per muscle 1 rirDon’t, go to 1 rir
1 set 3 or 4 times a week, that’s what you’re not understandingyoure doing 1 set per muscle 1 rir
show your physique and ill show you mine
I don’t even go to the gym anymoreok bro keep doing this and lets see where you get to
Why would 12 reps for hypertrophy be superior than 4 or 8 lmaoFull body is shit, doing 1 set per muscle group too, and reps should be 12+ assuming muscle growth is your goal
It would, but it’s left stimulative than the first one, and the total generates enough fatigue which increases the recovery time past the point of being able to train every 2 days and be recoveredexplain to me how you know that 2 sets isnt going to give you more of a muscle growth stimulus than 1 set
You won’t be able to fully recover from 2 or 3 sets in only 48 hoursI like it’s simple to keep track off but I would do two sets if I where you I personally do 3 sets to failure good exercises depending if your beginner or not for beginners or people who can’t stick to shit
I might this to be honest easy for me to understand ima switch bicep curls with hammer curls thoFull body 3x a week
1 set for each muscle group
Have 3 different exercise rotations for variety
An example:
1 set chest press
1 set shoulder press
1 set row
1 set pulldown
1 set tricep pushdown
1 set bicep curls
1 set squats
1 set hamstring curls
1 set calves
Everything done in the 4-8 rep range
You will have 3 exercise rotations, so each day of the week you train you pick different exercisesI might this to be honest easy for me to understand ima switch bicep curls with hammer curls tho
Holy dogshit yall niggas need to stop spreading this bullshit on hereFull body 3x a week

Full body worst split to ever grace the earth
It's not effective for building muscle cuz you're not doing enough work to trigger muscle gainWhy is it bad?
WrongIt's not effective for building muscle cuz you're not doing enough work to trigger muscle gain
Literally the exact opposite, high amounts of sets are just cardioYou're basically just doing cardio at that point
Lmao doing one set and one exercise for each muscle group isn't doing shitWrong
Yeah that's if u do excessive reps and setsWrong
Literally the exact opposite, high amounts of sets are just cardio
You're cooked if u do full bodyWrong
Literally the exact opposite, high amounts of sets are just cardio
Ok dudeYou're cooked if u do full body
Legit just a quick Google search shows it's shit and it's common sense tbh
These guys are trying to reinvent the wheel here instead of doing what their jacked friends are doing and following their lead. This is what youtube fitness does to an mf. Give it a few months, we’ll have a whole battalion of guys in here who did fullbody lifting, got no results, just fat and a bit of chest muscle, and they will be blaming their genetics. No jacked guy I know and have spoken to IRL does fullbody therefore, why would you? These guys gotta realize there’s no shortcut to build muscle faster, just do a normal routine, track diet, and never program hop.Holy dogshit yall niggas need to stop spreading this bullshit on here

Ong they'll do full-body and the way they always be promoting roids on here so many niggas gonna hop on just cuz they ain't try hard enoughThese guys are trying to reinvent the wheel here instead of doing what their jacked friends are doing and following their lead.

Source? I did fullbody too and was very disappointed with what it got me. No way if you’re going to failure on legs 3x a week, and on chest right afterwards, do you have the energy to progress your back, arms, shoulders, even as a novice. Please learn from my mistake and mistake of other lifters
I don’t promote roidsOng they'll do full-body and the way they always be promoting roids on here so many niggas gonna hop on just cuz they ain't try hard enough
Never said you did just saying most people on here do without worrying about the effects on their bodies/mental healthI don’t promote roids
I was perpetually exhausted on fullbody and had to eat a lot more to progress session to session. Shit just made me fat asf +some quads and chest. It’s such a shitty split because you gotta have 10/10 perfect sleep to recover, carefully monitor yourself to keep a rep or two in reserve so you can perform next session, will have a hard time working the third, 4th, 5th, etc major muscle groups in your workout after you exhaust yourself on squats and barbell bench, will barely progress your isolations for arms, shoulders as you will be too fatigued from all the 6 compounds you just did, you will spend 2 hours in the gym to hit everything each time, and you develop an aesthetic proportioned physique.Ong they'll do full-body and the way they always be promoting roids on here so many niggas gonna hop on just cuz they ain't try hard enough
Sounds like you just did it wrongI was perpetually exhausted on fullbody and had to eat a lot more to progress session to session. Shit just made me fat asf +some quads and chest.

And here’s the real kicker:
To compensate for these shortcomings, fullbody fanboys insist on doing 1,2 sets per exercise instead for an easier time recovering but then your progress will be even more crap because you won’t be stimulating a muscle enough for it to grow! And most fullbody routines that don’t take this approach and have a regular number of sets per exercise tend to be structured in a workout “A” and workout “B” fashion where one is horizontal push-pull focused, other is vertical push-pull focused( see stronglifts, ICF, alphadestiny novice routine) so you’re only hitting a muscle with one exercise for it in a minimalistic fashion, with 1.5x per week frequency unless it’s quads, most programs got squats 3x a week( as if you will be able to recover from squatting to failure 3x a week lmao). So with the stronglifts/starting strength/ICF approach, your frequency is about the same as a bro split’s but you get far far less volume, and far more exhausted! Lmao worse of both worlds. The dumbass fitness influencers who shill these poverty programs don’t realize that not everyone can grow well on these low volume programs that require high work capacity, most people don’t have the genetics and need higher volume from the start, and that’s perfectly OK. Not everyone can have 10/10 11 hours of sleep every night, some people suffer from insomnia or got work/school they get up early for, and that’s OK, very very few are capable of staying in the gym for 2 hours hitting most of the major muscle groups using compounds with any intensity for the last few and thats OK. That’s where something more reasonable like upper lower, push pull legs, bro splits come in! And those are absolutely fine! They’ve been producing results for dedicated lifters with average genetics for decades! So why try and fix what’s never been broken?
Please I implore everyone here don’t try to search for “secrets to more gains” and pay any attention to this alternative underground youtube fitness shit, nor to the lamestream jeff nippard crap. Ask your jacked friend for his routine, bulk to gain muscle, cut to lose fat, take it a day at a time and stick to it. Don’t make my mistake.
literally even 2 hard sets a week is enough for growth.fullbody fanboys insist on doing 1,2 sets per exercise instead for an easier time recovering but then your progress will be even more crap because you won’t be stimulating a muscle enough for it to grow
when done 3-4x a week its enoughimagine training calves lmfao. and 1 set is not enough
There’s a reason people have been doing ~10 for the longest time ever, and are seeing results from it. If it was that easy, everyone would be doing just 2 sets. How’s 2 sets per week been working out for you?literally even 2 hard sets a week is enough for growth.
Cool. I’ll stick with the bro split, which is giving me results and allowing for progression, and you can stick with fullbody if it’s giving you results you like.Sounds like you just did it wrong
7 sets 1x a week will cause around the same stimulus as 1 set 2x a weekThere’s a reason people have been doing ~10 for the longest time ever, and are seeing results from it. If it was that easy, everyone would be doing just 2 sets. How’s 2 sets per week been working out for you?
first of all im not saying 2 sets a week is the best. Its enough to grow. But I would say there is no reason to be doing over 9 sets a week for one muscle group. Its not gonna make you grow any more than doing 4-6 a week wouldThere’s a reason people have been doing ~10 for the longest time ever, and are seeing results from it.

Do you have any sources to back the claim that 2 sets is enough to grow and that there’s no reason to be doing over 9 sets per week? Also I don’t think the amount of volume you need to grow can be assigned globally to all muscles. I’m seeing my deadlift numbers go up on 3 sets a week for example, but found 12 sets for biceps, and around that for shoulders guarantees progress for me. I highly doubt you can get away with 2 sets of bicep curls and see results doing thatfirst of all im not saying 2 sets a week is the best. Its enough to grow.

Why full body is the best split, and how to program it
Things to know before reading: Muscles start going into atrophy after only 48 hours of training. Your first set for a muscle group provides by far the biggest stimulus towards muscle growth. In fact you would need 6 more sets after just to produce the same amount of stimulus as that first...looksmax.org
And do you know anyone who got jacked using this method? How long have you been using it and what are your results like?Read this post
