Total Body Training For Strength Gains
With so many training splits out there, it can be tough to pick a favorite.
My favorites change often, but I always come back to total body training. And the reason for this is because you’re able to achieve a greater frequency of training.
Muscles can be trained multiple times per week, which can lead to better gains.
Since the volume is low per muscle group, you won’t experience as much physical or mental fatigue, which can help with getting more quality reps per workout and avoiding junk volume.
Your overall volume per week can also be greater than a traditional muscle group split.
Total body training can be effective for any level of expertise.
If you’re a beginner, training 1-2x per week to start out with is a great way to see some gains but also avoid early burnout.
If you’re advanced, you can easily tailor each workout to target specific muscles multiple times per week.
