    I personally do not like that workout, there isn't enough time for some muscles to rest, you do legs 3 days apart!

    Thanks for your input. I like the fact that it has a low number of sets but still hits each area pretty hard.

    It may work for some but hitting some of the same muscle groups twice in a week is too much for me.

    It was funny because he says in the article that by limiting the number of sets you will be able to work out the intensity more frequently, He was criticizing a person who wrote in because they worked out the same muscles 3 times a week, for example, chest and tris, shoulders and then arms works out the tricep three times, but with this workout because the sets are low you can focus on more of a powerful lifting
