Full body

Let's have a full body thread. Who here trains full body? I always really liked it. There is a big shift lately towards spending a day on each lift and body part splits. I've never grown as much on these types of training though and never got as strong! List some good full body workouts below. Strongman and weightlifting welcome!

This article is a fav of mine and a big influence in my own training:

Deadlifting for 20 sets @ 2 reps is not full body

The days I deadlift on I do:
Light squat, heavy deadlift, heavy rows, calves

light deadlift, dips, hamstrings, arms, calves

heavy deadlift, light press, dips, hamstrings, arms, calves

Looks pretty full body to me
 
A good full body routine incorporates lower and upper muscle groups doing the bulk of some sort of mechanical work of the major muscle groups.
starting with the big muscles first, something like this;

squat,pull, push...yes, pull then push.
 
One of mine is close (which occurs twice a week)
Squat, OHP, dips
Makes for a great workout

All the variation lifts are alternated week to week. Basically a fortnight rotation.

We're going the same program from the looks of it - the RTS generalised intermediate program. I based mine off yours but altered it to make it 3 days a week. I do all the weekly alternating variations too, but couldn't be bothered going into too much detail. How are you finding it? It's working very well for me at the moment.

Yeah thats the one I based mine off.
Couple of different lift choices but more or less the same.

Yeah I love it. Keeps me way more interested than just focussing on one lift per day.

Pb'ing nicely at the moment.
