Split Routine versus Full Body Routine

Full Body routines will (1) help generate a higher level of testosterone and (2) reduce the number of days in the gym when compared to doing Split Routines

I would not be able to give you a workout routine without knowing your specific fitness levels (safety and legal reasons). In general, I do one exercise for my front torso, one for my back torso and one for my legs, challenging each group of muscle fibers to a high level (once you have acheived a certain level of fitness). You judge how far to progress based on what you did and how you feel the next day or two. At the end, include core and single joint work. Key: incorporate ROM.

With split routine, you are working fewer muscle fibers 2-3X more often but you will not necessarily linearly generate 2-3X more T/HGH - with full body, you will hit 2-3X more muscle fibers in the same workout - remember, intensity, not frequency, is the key for optimal results - as long as the intensity is there, the demand on your body to generate a higher level of T/HGH is increased - more muscle fibers are demanding recovery from the body's resources - added bonus, fewer trips to gym

No knowing your workout routine, I can only generally comment. Twice a week with an intensity full body workout will save you time and get you equal (or better) results. The key is the intensity. As for leaving the class, that probably is not an option. Learn what you can from the class. As the teacher his/her option of full body vs split routine. Make sure you are getting enough rest and eating the right foods. Also incorporate stretching. Be patient. You are 15. Learn and grow.

To Banktech 101: Thanks for your comments - both systems work - My focus 'Less is More' - most people can't get to gym 4-5 days a week (2X is sufficient with enough intensity) - more testosterone generated (key) - take that extra time to work on flexibility, speed, balance, cardio - you must have a balanced approach to fitness - big muscles should not be the end game (my opinion) - have you tried full body workouts for any length of time? - PS: 91Kg / Lunge with 120# (30+ reps)

To Wazzaabbz: Thanks for your comments - both methods get results - my approach is based on functional training - you use your full physical body when you do work outside the gym so your training should mirror that - higher levels of testosterone are generated (intensity is key) and you spend less time in the gym - most people don't have the luxury of coming to the gym 4+ days a week (2X is sufficient) - have you tried full body workouts for any length of time?

What would be an average full body workout that you will consider doing with the right intensity?

forgive my lack of knowledge - id like to know why full body promotes more growth hormone than an equally intense split routine doing single body groups? is there any science to this fact?. i dont have time for split so this would be useful to know but i do want full growth hormone.
