Apologies if that was already discussed before.
I recently bought the new 2nd Gen templates (specifically Strength II and Strength III) and noticed that now they are organized as upper/lower while previously (Powerlifting II and Strength III) they were fullbody.
Why the change?
Why the change?
I was concerned about workout length and fatigue management after laying out the training load. I thought this would work better for most, but admittedly, a specific training split is mostly personal preference
Thanks for the answer!
Not sure whether this question will make sense but… would you schedule the old Powerlifting II and Strength III templates as upper/lower these days or is that more the fatigue management of the 2nd Gen templates?
The total training load is a bit higher in the newer templates, so I wanted to make that change this time around. For the older templates, you could swap it to an upper/lower split if that’s your preference. I don’t feel strongly that it’s necessary though.
I asked primarily because I liked full-body setup for two reasons:
That said, I haven’t thought about training load/fatigue management.
Similar sentiment to Sad, was curious about this. I like the full body for all the reasons he described, but also like the 4-day training similar to how PB1 gen 2 is laid out. I had not considered the load management either. I still have a while before im running strength II, but the same questioned applied to strength 1, 4-day, although it does have a full body 3-day option.
I think it would be worthwhile to try an upper/lower split if you haven’t before and were going to change programs anyway 
Yeah, I will try it if only to do something different and to add some “excitement” to the training.
