    Training Full body 2 days a week...good or bad?

    So im in a bulking phase right now and i wanna gain as much mass as possible before my cut. So i have started doing full body 2 days a week (monday and friday) I started this maybe a month ago, i was in a pretty big plateau for a while, i was doing a 5 day split and wasnt seeing any results for a while. Is this a good method or should i try something else? Thanks in advance.

    How long does it take you to complete this full body work out?

    I used to do that wen i first started well full upper body. I did grow maybe not as much but if you cant get to the gym often then you dont really have a choice.

    1 1/2 - 2 hours is too long in IMO. At that point your body begins to use your proteins for fuel.

    Yeah, that's too long to be in the gym lifting. You need to split it up.

    i do a total body workout (20 rep squat routine) from time to time and i like it alot. it's only 1 working set per movement done after at least 1 good warmup set and it takes less than an hour. i've thrown it in for 1 week just to break up my lifting schedule and i've done it for 2 or 3 weeks at a time. i've done it 2x a week and i've done it 3x a week before with good results.

    do 3 to 4 warmup sets of squats and then 1 working set of heavy squats that allow 20 reps to failure. then do a set of db pullovers.
    then do 1 working set of each movement listed for 8 to 12 reps.
    calf raises
    leg curls
    bench (incline or flat) (bb or db)
    flyes (incline or flat)
    rows (bb or db)
    chins
    shoulder press (bb or db)
    close-grip bench or dips
    curls (bb or db)

    i'll do as many warmup sets as needed and then 1 heavy working set to failure.

    ive been doing this type of workout the last 6 weeks only i do 2 sets of everything circut style. im trying to cut again. in about 2 weeks ill go back to strait sets again. i do this to confuse and shock my body and it is working for me. also will start doing cardio again.but yea i like full body workouts thay kick the shit out of me if i keep rest time to like 30 seconds between sets.
