I think he might have felt the burn doing this. I'm pretty sure that if I were to try and do the same session, I'd just be using my hands without any weight in them by about halfway through.

If you can't grow on any of these then your diet / sleep / intensity is screw or all of them.
Workout frequency largely depends on intensity
Workout frequency largely depends on intensity
but if you train your whole body every session, how are you going to push every single muscle beyond it's limit,
2 muscle groups per workout is my happy medium. try and hit each muscle group 3 x a fortnight.
even with upper/lower you are hitting more than 2 muscle groups..
you do not need to 'push to the limit', as long as you are progressively overloading the muscle, and being consistent, that is the main goal.
i really like the FB routine as well, both routines are heavily recommended on the decent scientific minded bodybuilding communities
My mental goal is to destroy my muscle as hard as possible and throw the rest out the window, when I think I have given it enough punishment, I usually do 5 or so more sets.
Sometimes I will decide how many reps I want to do mid set otherwise just bash out as many as I can.
There's no way I could train my whole upper body in 1 session and be satisfied when I leave,
Would love to be able to train every muscle group every 3 days, but not at the expense of intensity...
I wouldn't say this is the most optimal way. But the most important thing, is finding something you enjoy, and doing it long enough to see results. if people enjoy training blasting their muscle one time a week, that is fine. You will still see results regardless. You just have to enjoy what you're doing.
I clicked on a few of them. Most of them seem to hit the body at 1x frequency for the week, research is very clear in demonstrating that the optimal training frequency for a natural bodybuilder is 2-3 times a week as muscle protein synthesis stays elevated for only about 36 hours after you train a muscle. So if you are hitting a muscle group only 1 times a week, it's only growing 2-3 days.
here is a good article:

Recovery is for the lazy lol.... Whatever helps cast a bigger shadow
what? lolU Chris outside the gym recovery and sleep are what helps speed u along it actually helps not set u back
what? lol
Damn typo what I meant was u grow outside the gym over training will set u back if u smash say your back In a massive session high volume I won't need that double session p\w or triple. giving u that extra few days to recover, alot of these upper/ lower splits in theory seem fine but I wouldn't be training with soreness or DOMS the same part. I have two main negatives for me on upper lower 1 is not hitting the part from all angles and really stimulating it and also isolating it and no isolation movements and 2 is recovery and frequency of that same body part. Do it once and do it properly hit from all angles smash the fucker and sit back and enjoy the pain until Next time. That's my 2 cents its prob good for a bulk but I would going two days between training days.
Lol. So much brahscience but whatever keeps you training I suppose.
