I'm really enjoying this full body training. Here are a few notes...

- I always start with legs first. I don't know I just feel better overall.
- I do a pretty intense, 10-12 minute warmup consisting of jump rope, squatting 135, pushups, lateral raises, dumbbell rows. This makes a HUGE difference.
- These workouts are fast! I can get through them in 45 minutes to an hour. The key is a strong warmup to start and then just warm up on the compound exercises. For instance if I'm doing squats I'll do a few good high rep warm up sets with squats and I'm ready to go right to my work set of Ham curls, then squats, then leg extensions. I have the entire lower body portion done in 15 minutes. When it's time to move to upper body you are already pretty warmed up so I do a couple warmups back to back with a compound back movement and compound chest movement. After that it's right to the failure sets on everything upper body.

The biggest issue for people seems to be that these workouts are taking a very, very long time and I'd just tell people to keep messing with it until you find the formula where it's not like that. It exists, even for us old guys with cranky joints.

This is good stuff. Whenever I have did full body requiring so many pieces of equipment in a gym full of social butterflies and high school kids trying to find their manhood, it is impossible to get in less than 1.5 hour. I would definitely give full body a try if I could get the time under an hour

Bump.

Thinking about running the upper/lower split from JP.

Do people here run it here(results?)? Seems a bit low on volume, but when everything is taken to failure probably not.

On the lower end per session, yes. In one of his videos he says to train upper/lower 6 times a week with just 1 rest day. That's a lot of weekly volume. You will be crushed a couple weeks in and need a deload, but it's worth it.
