Can't see why natty or on gear would make a differance ( Maybe in your own head ). Don't personnally know anyone on gear at least not willing to admit it. But I know a sh1t load of Big guys that do splits.

Push/Pull/Legs.

A full body workout just takes too long for me.

It's also going to destroy my central nervous system and I can't really see how my body can recover/grow if the whole of it is getting hit at once.

But then I'm a numpty.

all this , 4-5 day splits when your on the gear, i think is a load of Sh1T,
i think people should try things out before saying things like that !

Lol... If thats a reference to Stud's post - I think he may have tried them out young dan

I'm on Full body at the moment. 3x per week. Normally I do a 3day split.

Gained 20% on deads in the last few weeks. Squats are up, Bench still needs to be tested.

Its certainly interesting put it that way

I workout 3 times per week at the moment, Legs-Push-Pull. However, in a few weeks time I will probably switch to a full body program 3 times per week for a few weeks before switching back to the split routine. Keep giving the body a shock to keep the results comeing.

I don't know what full body routines you've been looking at, but they can be cut down you know.

A full body routine can be done with as little as 5 exercises. Infact, with something like that, strength would go up through the roof for most.

Chris can we have an example mate;)

irwit · 09-04-2008, 03:45 PM

Example would be good. I really struggle doing anything after squats soa full body would be too much for me I think.

chrisj22 · 28-04-2008, 09:11 PM

Ok:

Day 1:

Squats 3 x 5 (or 5x5 if you can handle it)

SLDL - 2 x 15

Bench - 4 x 5

OHP - 2 x 10

Close grip presses - 2 sets to failure

Day 2:

Deads - 3 x 5 (or 5 x 5 if you can)

Side lats - 2 x 10

Rows - 4 x 5

Chins (or pulldowns) - 3 x 10

bicep curl - 2 x 10

Try & add a little bit of weight each week to the bar.

irwit · 30-04-2008, 05:11 PM

that kind of looks like legs and push on day one and a big pull day on day 2 ?

chrisj22 · 30-04-2008, 05:27 PM

It's just a typical two day split, nothing more. Obviously training only twice a week (full body) will need to incorporate everything. I like that routine & my lifts went up.

irwit · 30-04-2008, 05:44 PM

I do a ppl but have been mixing it up a bit adding what I would call a secondary movement from another day. Eg on pull day ill dead, row, pull up, then do dips. Push day ill do bench, militarty, dips then pull ups.

Leg day it depends how I feel but i will proabbly just do legs as Im normally pretty dead after this workout anyway.
