71 reviews for Full Body Powerbuilding Split
Dr. Swole's science-based 3 Day Full Body Powerbuilding Split is designed for hypertrophy and strength. You train your full body 3x a week.
This program is made for beginners but will also work for some early intermediate athletes. A beginner is someone in their first 1-2 years of serious training.
This is a low volume program, which means you aren't spending excess hours in the gym but will still make excellent progress.

Great program - it seems balanced and has given me great results. It should be noted that I am a beginner with <1 year of training

Great workout! It allows me to lift heavy three days a week targeting main groups. And I incorporate an active rest day Tuesday and Thursday with Saturday Sunday full on rest. Look for a similar program to execute after this that’s more catered to endurance and functional fitness three days a week. In addition, this was the edge I needed. I don’t have to worry about creating my workout. I just need to EXECUTE.

Overall program is quite good. my bee with it is: - workouts are taking longer than an hour, even if you are doing supersets where you can. - exercises lack descriptions, pointers what to focus on. E.g. what is lunge in this case? Why is programmed right after squats? - the animations/videos are not always matching the exercise. E.g. lying bicep curl. Is it a leg curl or a lying/incline bicep curl? 😳😬😲🙀 - bench press could have an extra variation(incline) All in all, program works. I’m seeing progress. For a free program - it’s very good, but I prefer Scoffield’s or Natural Hypertrophy’s programs. They seem a bit more carefully built. thank you to the author!

Quite heavy loads for women, especially for us middle-aged ones. But it was also my bad as I was stupid enough to assume that lds were kgs. No wonder it felt a bit too much. But this program made me go from 110 kg deadlift to 122,5 kg's!

The one thing I would suggest is that u especially show to do proper form on the exercises, other than that everything is alright
