Full Body Training (weight lifting)

Alot of people underestimate the full body workout. The Full body workout has many benefits. Below I created a workout that will give you great gains and will always keep your body guessing. If you decide to use the routine here are a few rules:

* On Antagonist Training weeks, Keep the Parameters (load, sets, reps,) the same. On antagonist training weeks you get 2 minute rest between sets and the sets are done in pairings.
*After the workout take 2 days of rest.
* It would be helpful if you knew the max for your Bench, Military Press, Squat, Deadlift, (and if you want bicep curls, tricep extensions).
* Abs are not included in the workout, but you can include them if you want.
* Do the exercises in the order they are in. From top to bottom.
* There are 6 exercises in each workout, 4 compounds, and 2 single-joints.
* There are a total of 24 workouts
