PPL vs Full Body

R8 my logic (does this make sense etc.)

PPL: higher volume but you only hit each body part twice a week

Full Body: Lower volume per workout per body part but you hit every body part 3 or 3.5 times a week (depending on if you do 3 times a week or every other day)

Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) happens for 24-48 hours (for natties) in a muscle after working it out. So if you train full body every 48 hours you're in an constant state of MPS.

You may get more volume in with a PPL, but each muscle is only in MPS for a total of 4 days a week.
Full body every other day each muscle is in a state of MPS 24/7.

Most things in nature have diminishing returns. I assume training volume for hypertrophy does as well. So even if you get (for example) twice the volume of training in shoulders, chest and triceps on a push day compared to a full body workout, you won't get twice the results.

So isn't it the amount of time you're in a state of MPS during the week more important than volume per workout?

Also working out every other day is a nice split for a number of other reasons; you don't get burned out, a lot of time for recovery, time efficient, you can do all the fun lifts (all the compounds and less accessory exercises), you can do cardio, sports or stretching on rest days.

Personally I work out full body 2 hours every other day and usually play football (soccer) on rest days.

You can do the same amount of volume you do in a ppl in 3 days, probably not optimal but you can do it.

It dosn't really matter that much, what matters is weekly volume (and its for sure better hitting a muscle twice rather then once but not necessarily more)

>So isn't it the amount of time you're in a state of MPS during the week more important than volume per workout?
Probably not, you need to there to be enough sets and reps in order for it to have an effect, you can probably get MPS with a training amount that is to little to cause gains.

I dont know enough about muscle protein synthesis though

personally i work out full body monday, tuesday, thursday and friday

>My max pull up is 10
>I do 4x8 pull ups in 1 session
>So that is a total of 32 repetitions
>Lets say I want to do 5 pull ups through out the day with 1 set each time
>Lets say I do that 10 times in a whole day for a total of 50 reps

Which one is better?

dont overthink this shit nigga just lift LOL
fullbody>PPL for beginners

That's why I only do PP

I bet you do, faggot

>weekly volume
>weekly
>your muscles know what a week is

OP, how about you listen to coaches and people who have tried and tested this hundreds of times or have reached the top of their game instead of trying to come to your own logic.

PPLvsFB is a redundant argument. It depends massively on your goals, level of progression, chemical assistance, age, weight etc.

You're trying to oversimplify things. You don't just 'hit' something and expect it to recover within 48 hours. Once you're past your noobie gains, each session (should) vary greatly in volume and intensity.

Stop trying to form your own opinion and just get yourself to 2/3/4/5 through tried and tested methods.

Nigga I'm not overthinking but training split is a pretty fundamental decision and it's worth some thought
I'm intermediate. Why is full body better for beginners and what about intermediate?

You can be the dummy and test it on yourself and see how you react to it
Do FB for 3 months, then rest for 1 month then do PPL for 3 months and see which is better for you

Those are decent stats desu

You'll never look as aesthetic as me with that height tho will you

>my muscles know what a week is because training
