Full Body - A/B (3X/week)

Hypertrophy Coach

Coach
Joe Bennett

Most people do not quit training because the program was wrong. They quit because it asked for five or six days they never had.

Full Body A/B asks for three. Three sessions, whole body each time, and every one of them earns its place.

It runs an A/B rotation: two different full body workouts you alternate. That keeps sessions short enough to actually finish, spreads the wear across more exercises, and gives you enough variety that you keep showing up.

No junk volume. No random exercises.

Just a structure that fits a real week, for lifters who want three good days to be enough.

Three Days A Week, Not Five Or Six
Three sessions is the whole ask. If your week has three training days in it and never four, this is built for exactly that, instead of being a six day program you keep failing to finish.

Two Workouts You Alternate
There are two full body sessions, A and B, and you rotate between them. That is what keeps any single session from turning into a fourteen exercise marathon you quietly start dreading.

Easier On Your Joints Long Term
Spreading the work across two different sessions means no single movement pattern gets hammered every time you train. Over months and years that is one of the biggest reasons people keep going.

Variety You Will Actually Stick To
Two sessions instead of one repeated over and over keeps training interesting enough to adhere to. Adherence is not a soft benefit, it is the thing that decides whether any program works.

Built In Logbook
Progression is planned, not guessed. Every lift is tracked, and your lifetime lift history is one tap away, so you always know exactly what you have to beat.

Olympian Coach | Educator | 20+ years of coaching experience I have coached thousands of lifters and competitors and specialize in building muscle through intelligent programming, not guesswork. Full Body A/B is how I program someone who has three real training days in their week.

What are you waiting for?

If you have started and stopped four programs because none of them fit the week you actually have, the problem was never your discipline. Three days, whole body, built to be finished. This is that plan.

FAQs
Who is this program best for?
Beginners through intermediate lifters, and anyone whose real week has three training days in it. An advanced lifter can still make good progress on it, it is just not usually where they get the most out of their time.
Can I run it more than three days a week?
I would not. This is one of the few programs I recommend you keep to three days. At this volume per session, a fourth day is usually more than you will recover from, and recovery is where the growth happens.
What is the A/B rotation?
There are two different full body workouts. You alternate them, so one week runs A, B, A and the next runs B, A, B. It keeps each session short and spreads the work across more exercises.
Do I need a full gym?
A commercial gym is ideal. At minimum you need barbells, dumbbells and a cable stack. The sessions are written to be supersetted to save time, but straight sets work fine if the gym is busy.
