The best way to program Full Body Programs is to actually use a Quasi-Full Body template.
(60 second video explanation: https://youtube.com/shorts/3CVzGaTwExo?si=P5vhQklRgVk41Apn)
Here's what I mean:
Session 1: Push + Hinge
Upper body push
Lower body hinge
Secondary shoulder or chest exercise
Secondary hamstring/glute exercise
Tricep isolation
Session 2: Pull + Squat
Upper body pull
Lower body squat variation
Bicep isolation
Secondary squat/lunge/quad dominant
Calf or forearm isolation
You can easily create 4 sessions out of this – 2 for each template – and rotate through them for 3-4 weekly sessions.
Here's a more specific sample program that I like (feel free to substitute exercises you enjoy/best fit your specific goals):
Day 1: hinge + push A
pushup variation or bench press variation
single leg RDL or staggered stance RDL
lateral raises
tricep extension variation
leg curl or kettlebell snatches or KB swing variation
Day 2: squats + pull A
pullup
Bulgarian split squats or lunge variation
calf raises
bicep curl variation
squat or lunge or step up variation
Day 3: hinge + push B
military press or clean & press variation
kettlebell swing variation
lateral raises or pushups
tricep extension variation
leg curl or kettlebell snatches or alternate KB swing
Day 4: squats + pull B
single arm rows, 2 arm rows, or gorilla rows
squat variation
calf raises
bicep curl variation
secondary squat or lunge or step up variation
If you want more exercises, add more exercises.
Got it?
Good.
Stop overcomplicating training.
