Judd Lienhard: Why Total Body Workouts Build More Strength, Size, and Athleticism


Listen Later

Every sport is a total body sport — yet most lifters still follow body-part splits like “chest day” and “leg day.” In this episode, Judd Lienhard — former Army Ranger, college linebacker, and performance coach — breaks down why total body workouts are the smarter choice for building strength, size, athleticism, and long-term health.

Judd explains how full-body training isn’t just for beginners or circuit classes — it’s the foundation of how the best athletes in the world train. You’ll learn:

  • Why frequency beats volume for natural lifters
  • The real reason “bro splits” became popular (hint: steroids)
  • How soreness and fatigue can actually limit progress
  • Why total body training keeps you fresher and more flexible in life
  • How to structure full-body workouts for both muscle and performance

If you want to move better, build strength that transfers to real life, and actually enjoy your training, this episode will show you why total body > splits.
