The Benefits of Full Body Workouts!

I’ve heard it be said that full body workouts are better suited to beginners whilst more experienced lifters do leg day, back day, chest day, little pinky day etc...

However, if your main goal is to get stronger and / “tone up” (ie have visible muscle definition and lower body fat), then regardless how many years you’ve been training for, unless your only hobby is going to the gym
and you go minimum 4 days a week, you will likely benefit more from doing full body workouts than doing a bodybuilding split.

Here’s why:
• You’ll be able to train each muscle group at a higher intensity and lift more weight per workout
• You’ll be able to train each muscle group more frequently per week
• You’ll be able to optimise recovery between workouts more easily
• You'll be able to prioritise sport specific training or add more sports to your routine
