I wouldn't really be a fan of that workout. To tell you the truth, everyone is different. One thing works for someone, while another thing works better for soemeone else.
I've split up my arms into one entire day. Also, I'm pretty much supersetting everything nowadays. I find it gives me great pumps and the gains have been steady.

i realize everyone is different but the thing this guy said was that i am overtraining. What do you think a good split is during a week? I can figure out the exercises but I guess the recupperation period is too short for me?? Any help would be great.

This is a good workout schedule IMO. There are a few things to consider:
1) This day is different than the rest of the days
day 1
chest -4exercises
shoulders-3 exercises
tricep-2exercises
Now it doesn't specify how many sets per exercise like the other two days.
2) A three day rotation is fine. You just need to find the frequency which you will not overtrain and still receive desireable results.
Start with '1 on, 1 off' if you need more move up to '2 on, 1 off, 1 on, 2 off' and if you need more bump it up to '2 on, 1 off'
3)I've split up my arms into one entire day.
4) check out these 2 sites for good workout schedules:

I workout 5-7 days a week and I'm growing nicelly.
I split it up so don't train the same parts more than twice a week and usually only once a week.
Mon: Arms/calves
Tues: legs
Wed: chest
Thurs: forarms/calves and cardio
Fri: shoulders/calves
Sat: back
Sun: calves and cardio
Doing something like this, I end up giving most of my joints a day or two of rest. I find that I workout my biceps when I do back, but they're spaced apart nicelly... Same for my chest... it's spaced apart nicelly from my arm workout. There is plenty of time in there for recovery and I can blast the hell out of them.

Chica....sounds good. Well i tried workout one today and it was pretty intense. I think i'll try sticking with this for a while and see what happens. I started a good diet and hopefully if all works well i'll be able to compete next year sometime. I'll keep everyone posted if anyone is interested. Thanks. Web

I also agree. The legs and back are two very large muscle groups. Too much for one day, IMHO.
