057 Full Body A/A/A vs A/B, which is right for you?

In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present, Jake and Chris discuss a full body training A/A/A program from Steve Reeves before exploring how to choose between repeating the same full body workout three times per week or alternating between two different full body workouts.

Key topics include:
• Steve Reeves’ full body AAA routine
• Why many old-school routines online should be treated cautiously
• The lying dumbbell front raise and how it may train different regions of the chest
• Why exercise selection should come before choosing a training split
• Full body AAA vs full body ABA/BAB
• The problem with doing multiple sets of the same exercise versus using more exercise variety
• How spinal CNS fatigue, supraspinal CNS fatigue, metabolites, and calcium ion accumulation affect hypertrophy training
• How advanced lifters can use priorities to decide which exercises stay the same and which rotate
