Community talk. May contain inaccuracies. Not medical, training, or diet advice. Sharp pain, fainting, or disordered-eating concerns need a clinician.
In brief
Full-body 3× means training the whole body three days a week rather than a body-part split.
The common picture
Three days, whole bodyNot a body-part split.
Squat, hinge, push, pullThe usual skeleton.
Recovery is the other daysNot seven pump sessions.
Lifters describe squat, hinge, push and pull on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, adding load when the session happened. They contrast it with PPL and Starting Strength’s named template.
Good to know. Sharp pain, fainting. Not Starting Strength’s exact 5×5 card and not PPL.
