Or is it based on aiming for more in the first failure point

Hi mate,

I will preach full body workouts 3 times a week until the day I die.

I have done FBW since I was 15 and have gotten some decently successful results for my age, especially in the strength department. I have tried PPL and bro splits along the way but my golden egg for training will always be FBW. My sessions are calculated and put together in a way to suit my current goal (eg, get big squat numbers, bench or anything) so right now I’m really bench press and deaflift focused shooting for a 220kg bench and a 300+ deadlift for reps. I bench 1st and 3rd session (M/W/F) of the week, I still train my back and legs in these sessions and even the odd isolation if I want too (I typically favour not to waste energy on exercises like curls and raises…just my opinion). My 2nd session of the week is swayed towards increasing my deadlift strength, so I’ll deadlift, hamstring iso and then onto some direct back work. I do not press in the 2nd session as (for me) it takes too much away from my recovery for the 3rd session) I love having 4 days off training every week allowing me to do as I please (although usually spent in the fetal position recovering).

Thanks for the reply Corrine, been training for almost 2 years and but had about 2 months away from proper training. I was using a low volume U/L split

Also what is your opinion this vs Fortitude training I have been considering changing to FT for a while now
