Started working out again about 2 months ago. My current week routine looks like
Monday: cardio/ body weight exercise
Tuesday: lifting either legs or arms and back
Wednesday: cardio/ kettlebell and medicine ball stuff- and push-ups cause any day I-m not lifting heavy I-m doing push ups
Thursday: high intensity body weight
Friday: legs If I haven-t already or chest and back.
The only problem so far with this routine is I do end up neglecting one of my muscle groups due to only having 2 days of lifting, but my current goal is to lose weight fast, and I-m down around 20lbs now so it-s definitely working. Once I hit 220 I think I-ll switch things up and do less cardio and begin lifting even on the cardio days, leaving maybe one day of full cardio, and getting rid of the body weight day and combining it with the cardio day. Which will give me 4 days of lifting instead of 2.

My biggest thing was 'overtraining'. I would be inconsistent with a PPL and when I would miss a few days, I would finally get it together and workout for hours in a day, non-methodical torture really.
Now I do Legs, Chest/Tri/Shoul, Back/Bi/Ab. I workout consistently everyday, take planned off days, but spend less time in the gym than before, but I make sure I warmup more so I have the blood pumping exactly where I want. Without counting stretching (I do 10-20 minutes dynamic stretching/warmups/bodyweight before each session) I spend about 1 hour working out. I make sure to do exercises correctly, with medium-heavy weight, and every rep counts. I don't count shitty reps, and do plenty of drop set. Also started eating 5 times a day on workout days.
I'm doing better in 2 months than in the previous 3 years.

i need advice from smarter people. i started a little over 2 months ago, but kinda hopped around and didn-t do anything consistently. like i went enough but i didn-t have a set PPL split or specific days i would go, but my progress skyrocketed. bench went up 60 pounds in 2 months, squat went from nothing to repping over a plate, etc. but i-m doing full body rn because i only have 3 days a week i can consistently go, so i want to get as much in as i can. would anyone recommend to keep doing it this way, or would you say a 3 day PPL split also works, or would you just go as many times as you can switching through PPL? i still have noob gains so i think anything really works, but for the future i would need some more consistency. any advice helps!

I do believe that training with this.
Day 1 Chest, Tris
Day 2 Back, Bis
Day 3 Shoulders, Abs
Day 4 Legs, calves
Repeat till I felt tired and need to have a rest days.
One thing most people dont understand with bro split is it can be good if you are short on time in the gym unlike Full body or Upper lower that takes a lot of time in the gym but the good thing with upper lower and full body is good if you dont go to the gym more often. But for me my on the go split is bro split it can take as short as 30-45 mins depending on how you structure it.

High frequency training full body in my experience got me the strongest and built muscle the fastest. Your body adjusts to the split. Muscle builds faster because it increases protein synthesis and increases anabolic hormones knowing that it is about to be damaged again in 24 hours. The only thing that cannot adjust to the split are your joints. If you balance it right you can have great results. But if you overtrain you will injure yourself.

I believe that soreness can be an indication of growth in the sense that the muscle has been worked out hard. Isn-t the pathway to growing muscles to tear down the muscle fiber, and they heal and get bigger? I think that if you-re not sore, not to the extent of not being able to move, then you-ve left more in the tank and not given all you-ve got into the workout. I love your personal takes in working out! Keep it coming!

I discovered ever since starting Jeff Nippard's Full Body program along with my bulk I saw significant progress in all of my lifts. While I must say it wasn't attributed to Jeff's program being the sole cause of my growth, I'd definitely say it was due to the fact that I had a program to commit to for once and that every single exercise for each session I could give my all until failure.

Only recently I changed my routine to
Day 1: Chest /Arms
Day 2: Back/Shoulders/traps
Day 3: Legs and Core
Day 4: Chest/Arms
Day 5: Back/Shoulders/Traps
Day: 6 Legs/core
Day 7: Rest
And so far it-s been really fun and I-ve made up a lot of strength as well as put on more muscle than I did on my previous PPL split that-s not to say though ppl works amazing -
