Thoughts on full body workout
I have been recommended by professional kickboxer with a Ph.D that for a three day split, doing full body routines each day is good.
ex
day 1
bench
squat
curl
etc.
day 2
incline bench
lunge
hammer curl
day 3
db press
lunge
curl
etc.
or something like that
what are your thoughts of this?

replace curls with pullups or bb rows.

"had a huge ass burn on my triceps while I was doing those kickbacks, so they'll likely be staying with my exercise program." - Zearoth
"most of my burned calories coming from something called Basal. Wtf does a leaf have to do with any of it?" - Votorx

I'd replace the curls with something more productive (like triceps) and add some deadlifts, but other than that ... looks fine.

I feel that full body routines constructed from non-full body exercises are limited and tiring to less than optimal effect. Just my opinion.
The journal / I live here.
If I were to start from scratch as a young 13 year old again, I would do every press, squat, and perhaps deadlifts, for my entire career with chains. -- Dan John

Ah yes, where's the back work? Definitely throw in some chins and rows.

I agree w/ Anthony - I would perform full squats one day, RDLs the next, and conventional deads on the other; also, weighted chins (if you can add weight) and bent-over rows, both sup and pro grips, instead of curls - and you need some dips and close-grips as well
The idea of a full body routine is to use compound exercises so that you hit all muscle groups during the workout - also, if doing all compounds, which is what I do, I would limit the working set time to 45 minutes - w/ warm-ups and post-workout stretching, you'll be out of the gym in roughly 65 mins.
