i am thinking about starting a full body workout or a split of my body parts. maybe like 2 or so exercises per body part with three or four days rest.
day 1:
chest
bi
quads
delt
abs
day 2:
back
tri
hams
trap
abs
i am getting a tredmil, so i will be doing cardio every day. i want to focus more on getting lean and building a little, and i think i might try this a little. what do you think
i've tried the full body splits and even 2 muscles per day, now i'm hittin 1 muscle a day and im getting great results! actually makes me think if i wasted results and time with other "fansy" training methods...Quote:

i hit large muscles once a wk, and ill hit arms two times a wk, full body workouts every day is way over training
Personally, I do not like full body workouts. But if you do try it keep it for a month or so because your body will quickly adapt. Too much stress if you have any intensity at all and that's hard to do doing full body. Good for beginner conditioning.
wow definately scrap the full body stuff man, each muscle will not be hit with the same intensity....other muscles will be exhausted and will not be able to be worked as hard...ex: working back then biceps, or shoulders and triceps then chest....doesnt work man...
The ideal is to vary it. Use fullbody or similar workouts to break plateaus. I usually train with a 4-day split hitting bp's once a week for about 2-3 months. Then I train with a 2-day twice a week split, take a week off, and hit the 4-day again. Works wonders and keeps the body from getting stagnated. I don't like fullbody workouts, they seem inefficient for me. I prefer 2-day twice a week splits such as upper/lower, push/pull etc.
