Full body or split?

stargazgal

hey all,

I have just finished strong curves for women and I've dabbled ( inconsistently) with other programs in the past. So I'm not a super beginner, that being said, I still don't know what's best....I'm still 40% body fat and I do feel focused now so want to start on another program. I read and see so many different methods to "fat loss". I want to stick with weight training as I love it and as I didn't do any cardio the past 3 months ( apart from a tubing/high repitition/ core workout 30 min 3x week called CX-) I do want to add some cardio.....anyhow I digress...what's more effective in your experience, fully body training ( alternating upper and lower with each set) or split training - upper/ lower on alternate days?

I like fully-body training.

Honestly, it's a personality issue more than a physical issue. There is no way I could just sit around and rest/do nothing between each set. It would bore me to death. Doing upper-lower-upper-lower just seems so much more efficient.

If you can progress and recover to do full body on alternate days, I'd say full body. If you're past being able to do that, then splits.

I'm not a fan of splits simply from a time management POV.

full body, frequency = progressive overload = gains
