Should each workout target your full body or should you follow a split routine, which simply means you target 1-2 muscle groups during the workout.
Here are a few things to think about when deciding if full body training vs split muscle group training is best for you.
Full Body Training vs Split Muscle Group Training
You should do full body training if:
#1. You are a beginner:
If you’re just starting out, we typically recommend gym newbies ease themselves into their new Live Lean lifestyle by lifting weights 3 times per week.
3 days per week is a good starting point, as lifting weights will put a new stimulus on your muscles and nervous system, that your body is not used too. These workouts will probably make your body sore, so it’s important to give you body sufficient recovery time.
Since you’ll only be working out 3 times per week, hitting a full body routine makes good sense, since you’ll hit all the major muscle groups, with enough volume and frequency, to begin seeing results.
#2. You have limited time:
If you can only make it to the gym 2-3 times per week, similar to what I just mentioned, a full body routine is a great option to ensure you hit all the muscles with enough volume and frequency to make progress.
#3. Your primary goal is endurance training:
If your primary goal is endurance training, you probably spend most of your time in the cardio room. However, if strength and muscle is also of importance to you, which it should be, you can fit in a good full body routine on your off cardio days.
#4. Your goal is fat loss:
When it comes to fat loss, following a full body training routine can help burn more calories, since the more muscles you recruit to lift the weight, the more calories you’ll burn.
Alright lets move on to when you should be following split muscle group training.
You should be doing split muscle group training if:
#1. You’re looking to target muscle growth:
Most intermediate and advanced individuals train with higher volume, per muscle group, to help stimulate more muscle growth.
This makes split muscle group training better since you’re overloading the specific muscles with more volume via more exercises, sets, and reps.
#2. You train more frequently:
People that go to the gym 4 or more times per week, tend to prefer split muscle group training since they can continue to train other body parts, while allowing previously trained muscles sufficient recovery time.
This limits the risk of potential overtraining.
Do I follow full body training vs split muscle group training?
I do both as it really depends on which phase of my training I’m in.
If I’m in a strength or muscle building phase, I follow the split muscle group training approach.
This allows me to train 1-2 muscle groups per day and train it with enough intensity and volume to maximize muscle growth and strength.
By following split muscle group training, it allows my other muscles sufficient recovery time before my next workout.
