Because of my schedule I will not be able to make it to the gym more then twice a week.

But I was curious if I can still expect gains with full body workouts instead of using split routines. I'm new to training in general but I was told you must hit each muscle at least twice a week.

I guess what I'm asking is if this is a bad idea for someone who is looking to increase muslce mass. Thanks

If you can only make it twice a week then you deffo want to do full body workouts yes.

You can expect BETTER gains with a full body routine vs a split.

Even with two days a week? Do you think it's too much resting?


Thanks

it depends how well you know your body nd how you control yourself. If you over do it then you'll need 4 days rest. but if you work it out then 48-72hours will be perfect.

Thank you.

One of the biggest myths in lifting is the whole non-stop trend. Rest is when you grow. Would 3 days a week be better. For most yes. Will 2 a week allow you to make gains. Absolutely.

YES two days a week of full body is good ( three is better) but two, especially since you are a beginner should work, try to keep the intesity high.

As long as you are getting good intensity out of those two workouts, and eating right, you'll make gains.
I've done 3x a week fullbody, and when you first get started its almost over-doing it until the body adapts to getting 'beat down' thrice weekly.

Those one-body-part-aday splits are not for 'newcomers' and even most intermediate trainees won't get that much benefit from them. Most people never need to progress beyond anything more complex than push/pull/legs type splits.

I agree resting is important. If you workout without resting your just asking for injury.
