Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Yes, totally.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

For the full body.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And the pro of the full body here is the practice argument you make.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

This is why, again, I lean towards this almost always to a beginner because I think the practice is so important.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

The con to that, though, is it leaves less room for error for the gauging intensity.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Mm-hmm.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And so that was another difficulty I had when I switched over to… You don't get a full week of recovery for that body part.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And coming from a guy who trained more splits earlier on in his career… I guarantee you overdid it earlier.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Oh, yeah.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Honestly, I have a tendency to still do that because that intensity level towards an exercise is so ingrained into my training that I can't apply that.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

So I can't go to MAPS Anabolic and…

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

and apply that same mindset that I did in a split.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Because a split, like you said, I have plenty of days to recover if I overdo the intensity.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

But with MAPS Anabolic, I'm right back in another two days, and I'm back to training those legs again.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And it's like, oh, I can't afford to have overreached that much or else it's going to hinder that workout.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And so it does.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

It does.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Now, again, why I like it for beginners is it teaches them kind of that appropriate intensity level and practice.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And that's so beneficial to someone who's more of an advanced lifter who wants to increase intensity and push it and kind of get after those muscle groups.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

That makes it a con, I feel like, for the full body and more of a pro lifestyle.
