Opinions on full body twice a week splits? Greg Doucette advocates for it
I just finished a two hour full body and it was brutal, nervous system too fucked up and cortisol is thorough the roof, i don't think i can keep this up for long

Greg Doucette is a lifelong roidtranny. Even though he claims he's "just on TRT bro" (a.k.a continues roiding), it's obvious he's taking stronger stuff.
As you may know, you can get big by following any lifting program and eating whatever (roided vegans) if roid enough.

As a natty, you should have at least one rest day inbetween workours. Lifitng more than 3 times a week as a natty is retarded.

Yeah it was my idea to do full body>rest>cardio>full body>rest>cardio>rest and that way hit every muscle twice a week, do cardio and rest plenty
>>
>>77219139
yeah with all the running he's doing he wouldn't be that big without roids. supposedly everybody who stops taking steroids shrinks like the rock or thor, but he got off it and looks ripped and bulky.
>>
>>77219120
I wouldn't take Greg's advice on working out after seeing him train with others. He reduces it all down to just pillar of training, progressive overload. Sorry, but there's more to it than that
>>

>Lifitng more than 3 times a week as a natty is retarded.
that is how you stay small and weak, with a proper split, with deload weeks planned in, you can work 6 days, maybe even 7 with no issue
>>
>>77219120
The only reason to do "full body" is if you're running a powerlifting or powerbuilding program where you do like 4 lifts and fuck off home
>>
>>77219120
just do a body part split
>muh frequency
still works
>>
>>77219120
i do a fullbody three times a week with cardio, stretching and neck/grip work on rest days and I progress just fine

granted, I'm a novice lifter, i can drop the routine if u want. Will transition to an UL split when I get my goal PRs for the big 4 (including OHP)

Does he really spend his money on these gay cars? He seems so sensible, then pisses it away on this trashbag nigger shit.

Serious question 1 : what makes you think a man who yells in a nasally voice to a camera for a living, has botox surgery and work done to his lips and uses fart sound effects in his videos, who's content is the most low brow "steroids le bad" lowest hanging fruit out there is "sensible" ?
Semi serious question 2 : are you fatherless ? This answers 1

>>77219120
Try just doing 6 exercises and one set each first.

>is doing an hours long workout where you are completely exhausted doing garbage fake reps by the end twice a week better than doing a split where you still work out the same muscle groups 2 or 3 times a week, but have the energy to put in more effort and have shorter workouts
It really depends. If your schedule is such that its easier to be consistent about working out for 2 hours 2 times a week than it is to work out for 1 hour 4 times a week, then it is better for you. If your schedule can accomodate working out 4 times a week, then a 4 day split is better. Between 4, 5, and 6 day splits, in most cases it comes down to how you divide sets across days. If you are doing an equivalent number of sets across each muscle group in a week, they are about the same and it comes down do how often you want to go to the gym and how much time you want to spend each time there. If you are putting in the time/effort of a day in a 4 day split each day in a 6 day split, then unless you are roiding you are probably overworking yourself and killing your gains because of it.

Most 3 day "full body" splits I've seen don't actually work out the full body every day, they tend to work out every body part 1.5 times a week, unless you are doing a leg dominant one like SS where you are working out quads glutes and hams 3x a week (really 6x a week for glutes), triceps 3x a week, chest and shoulders 1.5x a week, and biceps and upper back basically never, which is fine if you are a woman who wants huge legs and no upper body I guess.

5 days a week full body here. It's not too bad if you program it correctly. Its definitely bottom heavy. It's good for getting skill practice into squat bench and deadlift.

Today for example was 5x5 squats, 5x4 bench, cable rows 3x10 leg curls 3x10, planks.

Tomorrow is deadlift with chains (easier at bottom so dosent stress low back) 4x3, rack pulls 3x7, bench 5x3, leg extension, tricep pushdowns.

Similar structure to that all week and it works great for me. Sessions are generally about two hours though. Anything less than 5 minutes of rest and I'm btfo on recovery.

What's funny is because of housing prices in Canada even with all his money he lives in something that would be upper middle class in a place like Texas, a 5mil Cdn place would be 500k in Texas.
>>
>>77219120
this kind of stuff you have yo truly love doingit thats what i realized

if you dont like exercise then the cortisol increase makes it not worth it let alone the loss in intensity

Can ya post weights?

The best thing for physique, by far, natty or enhanced, is a bro split 4-5 days a week, highish volume, going near failure with moderate weight, 8-12 reps, multiple sets-with some basic progressive overload, with some added cardio. Bar none, if you care about aestetics do that. If you care about strength run a specialized power lifting program, from SS as a beginner to Smolov as a super advanced athlete there are tons of programs for that but if you wanna bodybuild or aestetics gymaxx gotta hit the bro split.

>>77219120
I do full body Monday Wednesday Saturday, sessions are 1.5-2 hours. I love it.
Muay Thai Tuesday Thursday Friday in between lifting sessions.
>>
>>77219120

>>
>>77221066

You must do a set per body part. I train biceps, triceps, triceps, forearms, front, side and rear delts, quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves, upper chest, lower chest, traps, upper back and serratus (i do core on cardio days)
Even doing one set of each would be tough but i do 2 or 3 depending on the muscle, some sets to failure of course
>>
>>77221138
no you dont i do 3 sets per body part on a given full body day and do just fine, but I don't go to failure on barbell lifts.
>>
>>77220658
there are places where 5 million only gets you an apartment, it's pretty wild to think about
>>
>>77219120
Of course the rat-voiced manlet would advocate for 2 sessions per week. He is mainly watched by normies and tourists who are weak willed and couldn't ever commit to anything more, and will likely stop after a few weeks anyways, because even this is stretching their limits.
>>
>>77219120
That's because you fried your mitochondria with low volume high intensity bullshit. You have to rebuild work capacity.

That's why everyone who knows his shit does a hypertrophy preparatory phase to build a base, not a strength phase.
>>
>>77220552
Good points. I guess the cars are just so much worse.
>>
>>77221481
Yeah you do three sets per body part all right. Your routine probably goes something like this
Arms
>1 set for biceps, 1 set for triceps, forearms ignored
Shoulders
>2 sets for front delts, 1 for mid, rear delts ignored
Back
>3 rhomboid sets, latissimus dorsi, traps, scapula and serratus ignored
Chest
>3 upper chest, lower chest ignored
Legs
>3 quads sets, glutes and calves ignored
That's how everyone's workout looks like, no wonder you're so well-rested. Now imagine doing your workout plus filling all those gaps, it's very taxing on the body for one session
>>
>>77219120
It works fine if you use a little rir.
You do have to work up to it though.
Like you do 3 sets of compounds for
Push, pull, leg, and hip hinge/back leg.

Then start with 1 set of an accessory lift (to failure) per muscle that needs work. Then you can make it 2 when that feels underwhelming and eventually maybe 3.

If you are selecting good compounds for your leverages you're getting a total of 5 sets per muscle bumping it up to 6 isn't going to be noticeable in a natty.

I personally do more but don't recommend it unless you just like lifting.
>>
>>77221138
My last workout was repetition day. Snatch grip high pulls, push press, belt squat, and tibialis work. One set of warmup each and one working set with a goal of 20 reps. Total workout time 35 minutes. Could have been 30 but I paused to talk to a bro.
>>
>>77219120
>full body
fine
>twice a week
lmao not fine
>two hour full body
out of your fucking mind full retard, only roidtrannies can keep up a worthwhile intense workout for that long

>>77219139
>Lifitng more than 3 times a week as a natty is retarded.
Make that 4 days and you'd be pretty much correct. You can work back to back on an upper lower split and do 4 good workouts a week as a natty. 5 or 6 day splits where each workout is still an hour long are when the volume becomes stupidly high and pointless for a natty.
>>
>>77219139
>Lifitng more than 3 times a week as a natty is retarded.
Post body
>>
You can't do arms before push or pull or you'll have a bad time. So doing arms pre exhausted becomes the norm. It's just not optimal since arms and shoulders and abs are the show muscle I think most people should be working on
