My Experience With Full Body 5x/Week Training Split (Good and Bad!)

For the last 6 months I've been training full body 5x per week. In this vid I explain some of the pros and cons with a high frequency split which may help you decide if it's something worth trying out yourself.

Every time I go to the gym people ask me “are you still doing full body? How’s it going?” So I figured I’d make a video explaining my personal experience and thoughts so far to keep you guys in the loop! Once I finish up with the Science Applied series I want to do more training vlogs as well to show some more of the “in the trenches” perspectives from me as well! Hope you all have a great weekend 🤜🏼

Jeff: I'm not saying this one is definitely the best.
Internet: Jeff said this one is definitely the best.

Currently on 5-6x a week FBW, never felt better, never looked better, never recovered better. Its awesome!

[gabrielpepin]

I just hit a new pr of 185 on benchpress! Im so proud

Please make a "How To: Pose" Video! Knowing how to flex and pose, helps with the mind muscle connection, and the other way around.

Job interview: Tell us about your weaknesses
Jeff: Well here are my cons, but really if you spin it the right way you could considered them strengths

[jvm-tv]

I've been doing full body workout for more than a year now and there's no way I go back to other splits. Feeling a mild soreness/fatigue all over body is the pleasant feeling.

[derrickg]

I could see 5x a week training being much better for someone with a home gym. Driving, walking or taking a bus that much more would really add up, but the benefits are there. I do full body 3x a week and I agree with your summery.

[kevinramirez]

I just finished my 8th week of this program and I must say that it is my favorite spilt so far. I noticed significant strength gains and size gains. It’s also easier on my body and I look forward to going to the gym everyday

Jeff,

Thanks so much for all you do. I'm a 60 year old ex-Marine and I have always been involved in fitness, Full Contact Martial Arts, Weigh Lifting, Running, Outdoor Activities, Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Splitting Firewood, etc... I still train and I am still very active to this day. I have used lots of training regimens, German Volume Training, Split Routines, Full Body 3x Per Week, etc... Most recently full body 3x, because I'm getting older and thought it best, but...

After watching your videos I have adapted this training style after being inspired by you, and let me tell you I have been pleasantly surprised. I thought at my age I would be over training, but I'm not. I feel the best I have felt in years.

My workouts are all full body, but I listen to my body and rotate heavy compound exercises in with lighter isolation exercises on back to back days. I also stick with only 2 sets for each exercise and do a progression where every 9 weeks I start out with lower weights and higher reps (12 reps) to higher weights and lower reps (6 reps). So far it's working out great. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and the science to back it up. Keep up the good work.

In a couple years everybody is gonna be doing nothing but full body. The quality of the reps are so good it feels like you're a gymnast with the level of body control you have. The increase in amount of weekly quality volume to other splits is simply nothing short of incredible for natty lifters.

I ran your PPL program, your Upper/Lower program, and am now starting week 4 on your Full Body program. I have to say I enjoy the full body much more. I was a bit skeptical but I enjoyed your other programs so much i decided to give it a try. I’ll also add another PRO. Since I’m not lagging during my workouts (i.e not wanting to get started as quickly, say, on lunges after squats) I tend to push harder throughout the entire workout. In doing this, I’ve noticed I’ve been getting a serving of cardio during the workout. Keep up the great work Jeff. You’re my go to channel on here for fitness.

I’m at 4th year of training and I been doing push pull legs and it’s been helping a lot. Actually I would say there’s not a best split. Just pick what’s best for you and stick to it, and you’ll see results. ✌🏾Btw thanks for this video Jeff.

[latronizio]

Found out that full body suits perfectly when trying to loose some weight. The full body activation seems to spend more overall energy without completely exhausting one particular muscle group.

[shahbaztariq]

I'm also rocking FullBody5Days training because of u and literally loving it 😍 i trained for 4 Years and literally tried out every possible splits from worst to best but never tried this one before. Thnx for sharing this amazing new split! Week 3 completed

[Alicia.Barreto]

Iv been training for 3 years, i JUST switched to full body days last week. It felt so unnatural. Im so glad i watched this! You are so right on the motivation

[memz]

Just completed week one of Jeff’s full-body workout and I have to say it was a nice change and I’m looking forward to the next 9 weeks!

[isaiahgamble]

Two things have really stood out to me so far. 1. I agree it’s much easier to get a pump than I would’ve thought and 2. The late workout reps are stronger and better quality than before 💪🏼

[lukekingdom]

Actually a fitness youtuber worth watching

[dylanaaron]

I’m currently running Jeff full body routine. My bro split workouts averaged 1:15 mins and so far I’m averaging around 45 mins with these workouts. (Neither of those times including initial warm up). Great program and throughly enjoying it so far!
