Switching to Fullbody

[Jake 85]

Alright ive been doing an upper/lower split for the past two months now. ive ran into two problems. plateued, and lack on interest in lower body. Throwing everything together will make me start doing lowerbody again. So heres what it looks like.

Bench
Pullups/Rows
Military Press
Squats
Deadlifts
Isolation excersises

Standard fullbody workout.This will be the base of my workouts, and with each workout i will switch up the variation of the excersise ex. dead lifts, romanian deadlifts, squats,hack squats. Quick question, what gives an overall "big" chest. my uncle insists that incline bench is the best and flat bench doesnt do anything but build strength. Im really focoused on hitting my chest hard so any good chest workouts that i could throw in isolation is appreciated. And for rest time between sets, does the shorter amount of time you take increase the intensity of your workout? i have been taking around 3-4 minutes between sets. only recently have i lowered it to 1-2 mintutes. i can feel the difference alot though.

only take 1-2 minutes between sets. 3-4 minutes is for strength training when you do heavy weights.

flat bench does build muscle as does incline. cycle them in and out of your routine.

a bigger chest comes with a bigger overal body. it wont grow out of proportion unless the rest of your body grows with it. just keep hitting the bench presses barbell/dumbell/incline/decline/dips and of course eating enough

and make sure you always do both pullups/chinups and rows. dont only do pullups in replacement for rows. visa versa. they are both for the back but you need a verticle pull(pullups) and a horizontal pull (rows) or an inbalance will occur

I think the only isolation exercises should be biceps curls and calf raises. They work best for me !
