"The researchers found that 1RM squat and 1RM bench press improved in both of the conditions (5.4 – 7.4%), and there were no differences between the routines. Since the two conditions were volume-matched, this is in agreement with many other studies that have shown that muscular adaptations are driven primarily by overall training volume and not by the arrangement of the workouts."
B-but muh SS
Read the rest you cunt
>The researchers found that the split routine produced increases in testosterone (+21.1 ± 32.7%) and cortisol (+50.0 ± 120%). In contrast, the full body routine produced no changes in testosterone, and reductions in cortisol levels (-13.4 ± 155%). This led to differences between conditions in the T:C ratio. It increased in the full body condition (+28.2 ± 74.6%), but decreased in the split condition (-19.3 ± 88.9%).
This is important!

What does the T:C ratio tell us?
>>36485858
Wait so which is better?
>>36485889
More test more muscle, more cortisol, more reparation.
So, split routine is better in that part, even if the gains in increased strength is the same
>>36485858
What good is more test if your gains are the same?
>>36486574
I'm more concerned about the rise in cortisol levels. It has plenty of other negative effects besides the loss in muscle mass
>>36486612
That's might be the relation with bodybuilding and heart attacks
>>36486612
Cortisol is just bad under stress faggot
>>36487212
Cortisol is stress
So, SS is better?
>>36485858
No, it isn't. Acute post-exercise modulations in hormones are physiologically meaningless (other than higher cortisol, etc acting as a proxy for a more intense workout) -- they last too short of a duration to have any signaling effect. Chronic exposure is what counts.

But splits and full body are NOT volume matched.
Please read Eric Helms books and never do splits again
I guess I'll just train each muscle once every 3 weeks with insane volume and get equal gains!
That's not news, anyone who has lifted for more than 2 years knows this shit
