Full body vs PPL?

[Deleted member 3259]

My friend who is a pt, basically made me as a beginner a modified 5x5SL program which is full body + 2 days of cardio. I was just wondering, is there genuinely a difference between full body and PPL? Because I feel like everyone I see always just seem to be doing PPL, where as this program basically incorperates everything into every single day for 3 days per week + the 2 days of cardio.

For a beginner, full body 3x a week is probably better.

You will grow same but PPL gives you more training volume and targets specific muscles more. You can also do 4 day upper lower split. I chose PPL because it was easier to understand as beginner and i'm a neet so i have unlimited free time. I will probably switch to 4 day upper lower split in 2 months.

PPL is more fun ime, which is something that you need to take into consideration as well as your willpower has its limits.

@54UD4D3 someone from .co decided to improve themselves?

full body 3x week is best for beginners

Jason blaha 5x5 is a great beginner program

For a total beginner, the amount of volume per muscle group will be a bit too much, so he would probably be better off hitting all muscles 3 times a week. He can move to a higher volume routine later on.

3 times a week full body, once intermediate you can start doing upper/lower

ive been doing 4 day upper lower and will prolly never switch back.

full body is terrible imo, literally never known someone who got results from it. imo upperlower> PPL> movement pattern split/bodypart split > Full body

For beginners, full body is fine, since they don't need as much volume, and so can hit every muscle multiple times a week. As they get more advanced they can move to a split.
