Full body 3x per week vs lower/upper split

What helped you build a better shape as a beginner between the two?

If I had to pick one as a beginner, full body 3× per week helped me the most. Hitting every muscle more often made it easier to learn the movements, build a routine, and actually see progress faster. I felt stronger week to week because I was practicing the basics more often.


Once I got a bit more comfortable and wanted more volume, that’s when the upper/lower split started to make more sense. But in the early stage? Full body felt simpler, easier to stick to, and gave me the quickest results.
