The only reason to put some much time and thought into whether you are beginner or advanced in that situation is pure ego. You're training state determines the course of action, as Monsta said. Frankly no one is advanced who has only worked out off and on for that long anyway. A person like that could probably go into an "intermediate" way of training but to go to advance will just result in overwhelming the body and an early burnout. But really, if someone wants to be successful they will take the most effecient and SIMPLE way not the way that makes them look more advanced. In this situation, the only difference between doing the beginner's versus being an absolute novice is the timeframe that can be spent on it before more complex programming is needed.

So start simple, fullbody, high frequency, moderate volume and build it up from there.

Kane and I were posting at the same time so sorry for any repeats. Like he said, time training doesn't mean much. If it did, we should have some real monsters on this forum with their 10+ or 20+ years experience. So yes, it depends on the training experience not the training time, and the condition of the trainnee, as you say.

While having a good basic idea of the types of training that work for a beginner, intermediate, or advanced trainnee, after that I think people will be better off experimenting for themselves and learning as much as possible about training in general. The thing about definitions of beginner, intermediate, and advanced is that an individuals definitions tend to coincide with that individuals programming practices. Yes, there are universal generalities as far as training states, but there are not universal programming modalities, if that makes any sense. So, imo, this stuff should be used loosely while each individual learns to pay attention to what is going on with them at any one time, while taking on new concepts that are learned.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
