Full Body Workout Routine
I often get asked “what full body workout routine in best”. And yes, the question is usually this general. Then I have to ask what the person’s goals are, what have they been doing etc. Then I got to thinking, the needs of elite athletes and the general population are very much the same. The only difference between the two is the scale or the magnitude of training. Lately I have been answering many questions on Yahoo answers. My search term is strength training. People generally ask for advice on creating a full body workout routine for strength development. It’s either that or they are wanting know what methods, exercises, volume, load and intensity to use.
