Full-body workouts? Need Help!

[bobcat]

Hi guys,

I am heading back to college next week and will be very limited on time. I will probably have at most 3-4 days a week to workout. So, should I do a full-body routine or still break it up? If you recommend one or the other, please provide me how many sets and/or which bodyparts I should train!!! Thanks. In short, I need a detailed workout program!!

how about doing a little research first and find a routine that will fit your goals and needs.

or you can just use the one in my signature.....

If you do a full body workout a good rule of thumb for setting up a routine is as follows.

Start with the squat or front squat

Add a deadlift; stiff legged or bent legged

Next comes a bench movement or dips

Put in the bb or db row

Military or db press would be next

Now choose between pull ups or chin ups

Add auxilary work like calves or abs

Going by the above example, a two day full body routine would look like this

Monday
Squat
Stiff Leg Deadlift
Dips
Bent Row
DB Press
Pull Ups
Standing Calf Raise

Thursday
Front Squat
Deadlift
Bench Press
DB Row
Military Press
Chin Ups
Weighted Crunch

excellent post.

that was a great way to break it all down.
sticky material!

oh, here's another way to look at
midsection
quad dominate
hip/glute dominate
horzontal push
horizontal pull
vertical push
vertical pull
calves
grip

If you are a beginner, begin with 3 days per week whole body.

Graduate to 4 days per week split body in 2.

Graduate from that to each body part 1x per week.

I am not a beginner :angry:

I bench 350 and squat 460

Then why are you asking others to write your routine?

I thought beginner when I saw the nature of the question.

Beginner is not an insult.

Train each bodypart 1x per week.
