Best Full-Body Workout Routines for Muscle Mass Gain

It is a common problem for many beginning lifters to decide what workout routine to follow to start making their first gains. Also, they want to know should they train every day, three or four times a week and should they start with Full-Body Routine or Split Workout Routine. All that differs from person to person, but generally, Full-Body workouts are a great way for beginners to make some visible muscle gains. Many legends of Bodybuilding started with Full-Body workouts and they even continued with them because there was no reason to change it, it worked for them. 

One of the most famous Full-Body Workout Routines is Reg Park's 5x5 Workout:

Reg Park's 5x5 Workout Program for Muscle Mass and Strength

It is a great way to start with Reg Park's workout to put on some muscles and increase strength, but after that, you can try some other workout programs for muscle hypertrophy.

Full-Body workouts are the best for muscle growth because they allow you to train all major muscle groups more often which leads to more stimulation for muscle growth over time. Full-Body workout routines mostly consist of compound exercises which are best muscle builders.
