The advantage of full body training is the ability to increase frequency beyond what most typical splits allow for. In order to reap the benefits of higher frequency, it’s important to make sure the volume and variety per muscle per session is sustainable, not only in terms of recovery session to session, but to make sure the lifts later in the session are still trained in a relatively fresh state.
The progression scheme is what you can typically expect from a program of mine: a dynamic double progression. Step 1 is to find your working weight for each lift. From here, when you hit or surpass the top end of the rep range, you’ll increase your weight the subsequent week. A 5% increase is a good rule of thumb, but smaller increments work as well.
Volume wise, you’ll have some freedom. Due to maximizing your frequency on this program, you don’t necessarily need higher volumes to grow. I would suggest starting at 2 sets across the board, and if you have 1-2 higher priority muscle groups, you can push those to 3 sets. From here, I’d only go to 3 sets if your progression is stalled for that muscle group.

First time trying full body programming getting back into the gym after a few years off. Started this year with powerlifting, but getting back into bodybuilding with this program. The 3x frequency has been awesome for progress. My main critique is that it’s a bit light on legs for me, but overall progress feels like it’s going very quickly. I have a tendency to want to do the most, so this program has really taught me about the minimum effective dose necessary. Plus really bringing the intensity. Having so few sets per week, I really have to lock in for every set. Really leaning to push and capitalize on every opportunity and that’s been the best takeaway so far. Going to keep on this until I hit a wall!

Basement Bodybuilding delivers as usual. Love the programming style, exercise selection. Just sub out depending on how busy the gym may be, maybe superset sometimes and add extra sets sparingly to try to drive adaptation.

Great 3 day a week program. Long story short, sometimes less is more

I love the program. It's fun and effective, if I still have time I do calves or abs after every workout

Great so far, enough to push hard on training days and allow for enough recovery. Fun program and effective.

Very good programming and exercise selection. Structure is great, but the program is even better when you individualise it for you needs. Great work Coach Landon
