Full body (3-day)

Three full-body sessions a week, alternating a heavier triples-and-fives day with a lighter eights-and-tens day. Designed for intermediates who can only train three days and want both strength and size to keep moving.

Audience: beginner intermediate advanced

Static — this skill doesn't adapt to your week.

Procedure

Three sessions a week. A, B, A — so every other session you're back on the heavier rotation:

Each session hits a squat pattern, a pull pattern, a press pattern, plus 1-2 accessories sized to recovery. The Friday session runs ~5-10% lighter to preserve the next Monday — recovery is the bottleneck on 3-day full body.
