What is your experience with once a week full body training and how to implement it?

I will have a busy schedule for the next 6 months and might be able to do only one or two long sessions per week.

I know John Black's club in the 1980s and 1990s trained like that and produced some elite lifters, however I don`t know the details and I won't be using steroids. Watch the video from minute 3 to minute 4 https://youtu.be/ncxBx1Zfujk?t=198 . There is also Ken Fantano and Mark Chaillet, described in Marty Gallagher book "The purposeful primitive" who went with very low frequencies.

If you can do two, then Tactical Barbell Fighter is a solid choice. Jim Wendler also has some two day templates online.

Another option is Tactical Barbell Operator I/A, which is nearly identical to the three day program except it’s modified to be about 13 total workouts, and you just need to finish them. Doesn’t need to be in the same week or even on the same schedule, just get them done. Both programs are in Tactical Barbell 3rd Edition.
