Well said that man!

full body workouts are what constitutes strongman training, so i plan to do a lot of them in the strongman style.

first of all i will pretend you didnt just call me stupid, if that is what you were getting at.

second it is just personal preference

i find that when you do a full body workout, you will not be able to hit everything with an adequate amount of sets and energy for optimal growth (for me becuase at this point this is what im used to). they take much too long if i were to do the same amount of sets if i were to make it equal to waht i would normally do.

putting legs and upper body together is a killer, especially if you are doing squats, deads, bench, or what ever you want to do. i truly feel that a split is necessary.

of course this is my opinion, i havnet lifted that long, getting close to 2 years now, but for me a full body workout has never worked as well as anyhting else.

Refer to my first post in this thread.

Then come back and tell me why a full body workout would 'suck' for a newbie lifter.

a fully body workout is best done with 2-3 sets and 1-2 exercises per bodypart, and only 2-3 workouts per week, also using as little failure as possible
