Training Q&A / Re: Looking for a beginner workout routine recommended by a pro bodybuilder
« Last post by dj181 on Today at 08:32:40 AM »I think it depends on the individual but if heavy weights are used on mainly compound lifts which is typical for a full body workout then recovery & stress on joints & soft ligaments is hard.
you can of course rotate exercise in a 3 day routine to "hit more angles" or cause more "isolation" but i think myself a 3 day a week upper/lower split is better.
Just my experience
Yep I think that's bout right
Upper/lower eod is rather ideal
I tried the full body 3 times a week on my late teens to early 20's and it wreaked me, I never really improved or got stronger from it
I was influenced by AI and Darden and tried both, AJ was 12 exercises per workout and early Darden was 20 exercises per workout all to failure
Later Darden took it down to like 8 exercises per workout but that still crushed me
