Full body two consecutive days - is it ok given my circumstances?

[CheekyCuntt]

So due to personal reasons im only able to access a gym with sufficient equipment like racks on both Saturday and sunday, apart from.that I'm stuck with a apartment complex gym with limited equipment during the week and I'm looking to do full.body 3x a week.

I'm.thinking of going to the good gym on Saturday morning doing light load and higher reps and then go on Sunday evening to do heavy load and lower reps and then doing the other full body in the apartment gym during the week. Do you guys reckon this is acceptable?

The other option I was considering is doing chest/back on Saturday and legs/shoulders on Sunday and then adding volume during the week but I dunno if this is better. Which do you reckon is better?

A few people on here run consecutive full body days with good success. Personally, I’m not a fan. I’d just do upper/lower on the days you train consecutively.

Lol.

There's never any issue with consecutive days full body.
2 or 3 or 4 even is common in powerlifting circles. And more modern hypertrophy coaching too

Depends on how you program it and what you can handle. Your idea isn't necessarily addressing potential issues, at least with the info you gave.

Again, depends.

No problem at all with 2 consecutive full body days. Just give yourself some time to get used to it, might be sore the first couple of times.

What specifically do you plan on doing?

[BeginnerGainz]

I’d say it depends on your experience, but why not just do an upper lower?

I'm a noob and am far from having developed a solid strength base yet. Reason why upper lower wasn't my first choice was cause I want to workout 3 days a week, upper lower would have you working at least 4 days a week right?

Yes, I do upper lower on the weekends and 2 full body days in the week.

But to answer your question no, doing full body back to back won’t hamper anything. You could organize it into a push pull split even


WORKOUT A: push
Bench press 3 sets
Incline DB bench 3 sets
Squat 3 sets
Standing DB shoulder press 3 sets
OH Tricep extensions 3 sets
Lateral raises 3 sets

WORKOUT B: pull
Deadlift conventional 1 set 5 reps
Romanian deadlift 3 sets
Face pulls 2 sets
Pulldowns 3 sets
Chest supported BB row 3 sets
Curls 3 sets
