Full body workout plan

The complete plan, session by session, exactly as the SETR app delivers it.

In a full body plan every session trains the whole body: a leg movement, a push, a pull, then a few targeted exercises. Each muscle is hit three or four times a week with a handful of sets each time, a high frequency that research links to good results, especially early on.

Who is it for? Ideal for beginners and for anyone who can only train three days a week: miss a session and no muscle gets left out.

RIR = reps in reserve: stop the set with that many reps left in the tank. Rest is given in seconds.

How to progress on this plan

  • Keep the same exercises for the whole block (8 to 12 weeks) and try to beat the previous session: one more rep or a little more weight.
  • Once you hit the top of the rep range on every set while respecting the RIR, add weight and start again from the bottom of the range.
  • Every 4 to 6 weeks, or as soon as fatigue builds up, take a lighter week: half the sets, same weights.

In the app, this split is also available for these goals: Strength, Hypertrophy, Fat Loss, Powerbuilding, General Fitness.
