Who full body is for
Beginners and anyone with 2–4 gym days a week. Every muscle is trained several times a week, and missing one session does not skip a whole muscle group.
How to progress
Start with a weight that leaves 2–3 reps in the tank. Once every set reaches the top of the rep range, add 2.5–5 %. Keep at least one rest day between workouts.
Questions
Is full body good for building muscle?
Yes, as long as weights or reps go up week by week and you eat enough calories and protein.
How long to rest between sets?
2–3 minutes on the big lifts, 60–90 seconds on isolation exercises.
