Gym 3 days a week. Fullbody "only" option?

You’re only gonna be training your muscles once a week on a PPL split if you can only train 3x a week, not optimal for fast muscle gains.

You can also do a Upper/Lower/Full Body split.

you can go 5x5 stronglifts

I have been doing 3 days full body and on tuesdays and thursdays i've been doing some cardio as dance classes.

You can make it work. I’d add at least 2 days of calisthenics to that.

A 2-way split 3x a week is fine. Go push/pull or upper/lower.

Why not just lift more then? I do Layne Norton's PHAT program which is:

Monday: Upper body

Tuesday: Lower body

Wednesday: Rest

Thursday: Back and shoulders

Friday: Legs

Saturday: Chest and arms

Sunday: Rest

What are you physical goals? PM me if you need guidance or you look like shit.

Full body 3x a week is gonna be 3x the frequency and volume for each muscle group compared to PPL only 3 days a week. It’s gonna be way more effective.

Do upper/lower in 4 days a week if you wanna change things up.

You can do that but progress is going to be slower because you’re only gonna be training them once a week.

Best way to train is each body part twice a week, this is why I said: Upper Body Monday, Lower Body Tuesday and a full body on Friday, that way you’re hitting everything twice a week on a 3 day split, you didn’t even read my first post did you?
