    Following a recent post by Joe.Muscle I thought I would give a 3 day on 1 day off full body (A/B/C) workout a go (please excuse the light weights for the legs as I have neglected these over the years).

    All upper body exercises will be 20 total reps per muscle group (15s will be 15 reps short rest plus 5, 10s will be 2 sets, clustered where required) with 15 reps in the 5s (3 sets, clustered where required). All leg work (including deadlifts) will be 30 reps in total (20 reps for the 5s). All done with barbell as train at home.

    Routine A – Flat Bench / Bent over Rows / Landmine Press / Rear Squats (ATG) / Good Mornings / Calf Raise

    Routine B – Military Press / Supinated Chins / Dips / Deadlift / Good Mornings / Calf Raise

    Routine C – Incline Bench / Landmine Rows / Landmine Press / Hack Squat / SLDL / Calf Raise

    How is the high frequency treating you? I'm doing a similar program, but only 3x/week, which seems to be plenty of frequency for gains.

    Sci, the training is going well and at the moment I am able to keep each workout to around 35 to 40 minutes will probably have to go to an AM / PM split in the 5s. I did at the latter end of the last cycle start training using Wernbom on a 6 day programme (upper on m/w/f and lower on t/t/s) but the current training method seems to be more taxing on the legs even though total weekly volume is the same as last cycle but upper body is similar even though volume has now increased.

    What to do, I have not been following my own plan and have been still been doing 20 reps for each upper body part in the 5s and after completing the 1st three days have realised that the 4th set is already close to failure (approx 85% of 5RM with 90 second rest between sets) - I could go back to original plan but I do like to see an increase in total weight lifted (I know it doesn't work that way) from session to session, for those of you that do full body daily workouts would you

    a) drop to 3 sets of 5 or
    b) drop to 2 sets of 5 with a 3rd set at say 10 to 12 reps with my current 15RM max load as a metabolic set

    I'd get 3min rest between sets, and drop the 4th set. It isn't giving you an extra stimulus at that load.
