Complete Full Body Workout | Rob Lipsett

Sop everyone, welcome to the gym. Oh my God, what a shocker, Rob Lipsett's in the gym. What a turn of events. But anyway, so just a quick one. I want to say thank you to Audible for sponsoring this video. So just a quick thing about them is I often talk about reading books. A lot of times instead of reading books, I'll always just listen to them, okay? Because anyone who watches this channel carefully will always see that I've got something going on in the background, be it a laptop, a phone, in my car. I'm always constantly taking in information. So this is why I just think it's awesome working with brands like Audible, who I've actually worked with before. So I'm going to include a discount code on the screen, and I'm also going to include a link that you can go to to get your free trial with them too. One of my favorite book recommendations that I've gotten into recently is some of Jordan Peterson's stuff. I think he's one of the best thinkers of our time. Very controversial, you know, feel free to start a discussion about that below. So yeah, his new book is one of my favorite ones as well. So that's it, let's get into the video. Thank you so much for that. And yeah, keep it real, let's get crackin'. What is happening, peeps? So just thought I would check in with a quick training video to show you that A, I am still alive, and B, I still lift. At the moment, I'm just working very hard on a number of things, which amongst them are finishing off writing the physical book that I spoke about a while ago in a video. I'm putting the last few touches onto an app that was meant to be released months ago, but look, this is just how things go. It's gonna be great, though. And I'm also working on making a huge, epic "Who is Rob Lipsett?" type of video with some of the, you know, crazy travel footage I've gotten over the last few months. So stay tuned because there is some good shit coming your way, my friends. So due to all these projects, along with some other things, my time in the gym has taken a bit of a hit. And when that happens, I usually switch to a full body routine that I not only really enjoy doing But it, without a doubt, helps me maintain my physique by hitting the gym for about an hour 3 times a week, which is a pretty nice trade-off. And much like diet trends, training trends tend to come and go as well. And right now I think full body training is making a bit of a comeback. So I decided I'd just record this session for you, do a bit of a voiceover, and discuss a few pros and cons. Of full body workouts, because you wouldn't have your good old open-minded Rob Lipsett if you didn't give the cons of what I'm doing as well, okay? So anyways, let's start with the pros of full body training. So if a day or two is missed, you're practically caught up within a day, seeing as each training session kind of covers all the bases. And this is the main reason I follow this split when I'm traveling or when I miss a session or two. So that is actually the reason I've brought up that point first. Some may find it's much more effective to perform 3 to 4 sets per muscle group 3 times per week instead of destroying that one body part with volume once per week. You have a higher training frequency per week, which therefore will stimulate muscle growth more often per week. Some say the body gets stronger and also functions better when more of the body is trained with each other in each session. So this may also lead to more of an athletic physique since training everything together makes the body work together in tangent. Okay, now for some cons. It is not as easy to give any one area complete focus or extra volume if needed. It also makes achieving a mind-muscle connection a little bit more difficult. I know that's kind of like a little bit bro science-y, but you know, that's what a lot of people will tell you. And for some, shifting from one body part to another can be a bit tough mentally, seeing as, you know, you're kind of focusing on one thing and then another. So it helps some people to say, okay, I'm going into the gym and I'm gonna kill my chest today, for example. Generally, muscle pumps aren't as good, which sucks because we all love a good pump. It's tough to perform some heavy personal record lifts, especially for those who are short on time. So for example, if you just set a deadlift PR, odds are if you're squatting afterwards, you're not going to be squatting your heaviest. Okay, so now for some bro split training pros and cons. So starting off the pros, it can increase the volume for each body part by quite a bit, allowing for more angles— more sick angles, dude— to hit your muscle and a greater selection of exercises. You can focus completely on a single or small group of body parts per training session. So for example, chest, shoulders, tris. You can say, you know, I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna just absolutely smash this. It allows for full recovery for each body part, seeing as most traditional bro splits, or even just most traditional training splits, have each muscle group quite spaced apart. It is less straining since only a small area of the body is trained each session. I know some of the toughest sessions I have are definitely full body sessions. And now for the cons of split training. So starting off, I think it's fair to say each body part is trained less frequently per week, thus leading to lower muscle protein synthesis. This is psychologically, you become impatient seeing as you gotta wait an entire week to train a body part again, if not more. This really annoys me personally, and it's kind of the main reason I never really follow a true, really bro, bro split. Most people tend to favor one body part over the other and perform it with, you know, more volume and intensity and just, you know, put more effort in. Which, you know, for example, is your typical chest and arms bros. Full body trainees tend to just train harder from my experience, and they kind of, you know, you don't really have the option to skip out on certain lifts that you don't like. If you miss a day on your bro split and you move on to the next day, you could be waiting a very long time until the missed muscle gets trained again. Now of course, it is going to always come down to long-term adherence, what you prefer doing, because what you prefer doing, you're gonna be better at. What you're better at, you're gonna progress faster at. Progress is the name of the game. So comment down below, what do you prefer doing? And guys, I got some cool shit coming, so stay tuned for that. I hope you enjoyed the video. Leave these informative ones a bit of a thumbs up if you want me to do more. See you in the next one. Keep it real. Peace. People, so I'm gonna end the video here. Thank you you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed some good old training footage. I'm gonna unwind here, I'm gonna eat and relax, just chill. But, uh, so again, thank you so much to Audible for sponsoring the video.
