Full body workout in 1 go?

Hammers

I'm thinking of doing a full body workout for a couple of months
I would like to know which BEST exercises should i do to gain the BEST results.
I will do this once a week so i want something proper hardcore..lol lol

scottswald

all heavy compound movements

Gazz

Yup.Bench,squat and dead like your life depends on it.If you live in carrot country like i do (zzzzz) see if you can get your paws on an old tractor tire and flip the fcuker up an down till yer arms drop off.

Depends on what else you are doing...

Deads or Squats
Bench
OHP
Dips / Pullups (Dips with Deads, Pullups with Squats)

You will need to use a different intensity on some exercises.

scottswald

i'd say both

Nath

I can't do both on the same day, one or another for me. Which would u do first? After I deadlift, I feel good for nothing, let alone squating!! Surely u would be sacrificing performance on the second exercise??

scottswald

just do squats on one full body workout day and then do deads the next one, basically alternating between the two.

Iv'e tried split routine and full body (or HST) training and iv'e always been of the understanding that muscle only grows with steady repetitive training so once a week may not suffice.

If you were doing a HST routine 3 times per week i would advise that you do 1 or 2 sets (of 10-12 reps) on each exercise and 1 or 2 exercises per muscle group. I like to start from the bottom and work my way up i.e legs, then abs, then chest, back, lats, shoulders then triceps and biceps.

It feels like your not doing enough but i have logged my best gains with this routine, and after a split routine which gained me nothing at all i am back to full body workouts again.
