Fullbody vs. conventional bodybuilding split

SuperFlex · 08-23-2006, 10:03 AM

What are the advantages/disadvantages of the two? A lot of hillbillies here seem to favor a fullbody and/or upper lower split. Is there any science which supports a superior workout or results? Is it just preference?

Also, when doing a fullbody routine how many sets do you perform per bodypart? Is it better to complete each set for a given bodypart or circuit train like a women?

Same question for upper/lower. How many sets per bodypart would you suggest? I imagine several more compared to a full body routine do to the fact that you're training upper/lower just twice and full body three times per week... I've always done a straight bodybuilding split up until this point, like my twin Arnold(no Danny Devito jokes...), but I'm interested.
