    You wouldn't be doing it every day. ..you need at least 1 day recovery time between sessions (this is when your muscles are repairing and getting stronger, growing). 3 days per week (or even just 2).

    I understand what you meant and I have made up a list for a set A and a set B so Set A's workout is for Mondays and Fridays while set B is only for Wednesdays. I could show you if you'd like? :wink: :smiley:

    I like PPL, and I've been doing PPL, PPL, Rest for a while now.

    Although I feel like there are a few areas I'm neglecting that I'd like to focus on, and there's just not enough days in the week lol

    So I've been looking at Full Body routines as a way to keep up my volume, cut back on days, and use those freed days for focus on other areas and recovery...

    The drawback is losing those days of focused volume... But does it really even matter if I focus on one or two days or break the volume up over more days.

    My current choice is between dumbbell or bodyweight routines. (I’m not willing to keep barbells at home and not willing to join a gym again at this time.) I test-started the M&S full body dumbbell program today. I noticed it said not to add other exercises. Is that specific to not adding extra lifts? I’m trying to progress with certain body weight exercises and am not willing to give up on my pushups, chinups and pullups specifically. The rest I am willing to replace with the program. If I still do these three exercises on lifting days will that be a problem? If I shouldn’t do that, my plan is to just go with a bodyweight program instead and occasionally use dumbbell videos just because I like them.

    @psuLemon just to let you know the first two links to Strong Curves bodyweight and template send you to page not found since the templates are no longer available for free online (as far as I know). Maybe linking all of them to that last link which works or the link to the Amazon page to order the book.

    The best program is the one you do.
