total body vs split routine

What do you guys think about this? I can see how it works as working the muscle more often would result in growth surely? Any thoughts?

Do a fit buddy search on this topic... it's been discussed an awful lot. t -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is clickclickclick - One should not lift like a man or a woman, lift like a human.
