Have you done a full body before?

you're a pretty well manly built bloke, I think a full body would do the trick, meet me at PTC one day.

I'm sure we could tee something up. I have done full bodies but not for a long time. The problem is that, although the volume over say a week may be the same, the volume in any one session has to be reduced to the point where it is of less effect. Unless you run a couple of different templates, but then you're edging into split territory.
 
Same problem. I guess a major determinant of how useful programs like those are is how much you break down each muscle group, which obviously flows on to volume. Say for delts, if you find one or two compound exercises, say BBMP and seated DBMP to be adequate that will fit into a full body of upper/lower program easier than BBMP (4 sets), Lat raises drop sets, DB rear delt flyes (maybe d/s or s/s), front raises (4 sets). If you're doing lat raises double drop sets (which I've been recently) in the 12-15 range that 9 sets will take you 12-15 mins alone. Probably 45-50 minutes total.

Make yourself feel like shit and bloated for the next 24 hours. Instead, pace yourself and enjoy the next 24 hours.
