Especially large muscles.
You want rounder, more developed delts?
Well, then you could program that.
You could program a routine that puts more emphasis on that or recognize that, oh, I don't have a lot of rear delt, but I have a lot of front delt.
And so programming more rear delt exercise in there so I can now shape and sculpt my delts.
And so that is one of the coolest parts about strength training is that you can do that.
And the average person, let's be honest,
that would buy personal training from you cared about how they looked.
Many times that was the main motivator that got them into the gym was, I don't like the way I look or I want to change the way I look.
And so the fact that you can do that through resistance training is pretty cool.
And so I think even though it may not be the best routine for the very beginner, it does appeal to even the beginner because I think the people are attracted to that.
Well, you mentioned the pumps.
This was my biggest challenge with converting over to a full body routine.
is I was so attracted to that feeling and I trained that way for so long that it was really difficult for me to fully adopt the full body routine because I like that.
Even though I accepted that it may be the better program for where I currently was at when I was training like that,
it was also hard because I was like, oh man, I miss that.
And so I would chalk this up as one of the cons of the full body routine and one of the pros of the split.
That's a major pro for the split is that if you like the feeling of a pump, the look of it, the feel of it, you get more of that in a body part split like a push-pull legs than you get in a full body routine where you do two or three sets of your squats and then you're on to the next thing.
It's just like, I'm barely... You just got warmed
I see this as a pro and a con.
