fbw v splits

[Typhon]

That guy has decent forearms but other than that he's pretty skinny. He obviously spends too long on upper push exercises as his back is too narrow and he has no traps

to be honest with you I used to love Full body workouts but lately I have started split routines where I literally "kill" the specific muscle and the next day I can feel it really sore. and that means results.. I have never felt sore after FBWO, just tired obvioulsy. and I have talked about this question you are asking with gym instructors and they have told me this is like studying: you either study all you subjects at one go or else focus very well on each subject. and the answer comes naturally..

Good luck

the reason you ache doing a split is because you dont train that muscle again for 7 days,if you trained that muscle every other day like a fullbody,then it wouldnt ache because your body adapts to it.
and aching means s**t.

and i dont think anyone would dissagree that splits can work, but not one body part a wk splits.

I used to do full body workouts and found that to really get everything done in one sitting, it takes over an hour of work at the gym

For the average gym rat, a well designed weight training session shouldn't have to go beyond 1 hour IMO.

and is VERY demanding on the body (especially after 3 sets of 10 squat).

That's the idea isn't it ?

you couldnt be more wrong lol... soreness doesnt necessarily mean results just fatigue.

people dont seem to get in this thread that there arent just 2 programs there are thousands, and they all work towards achieving different goals.

Do you know what the definition of literally is? I hope you haven't killed all your muscles. You'll just be a pile of goo.


This is a common misconception. Soreness is not an indicator of effectiveness.



If you only worked out your biceps forever, do you think your arms would get huge while the rest of your body stayed skinny? It actually doesn't work this way. Your body will only go so far into an imbalance. It's not like studying intensly in one subject makes you smart in that subject and then you move on, its like studying all subjects to bring your collective IQ up.

i love you
