I’m in the middle of a plateau and I found a routine that consists of a six day split and one day full body. Honestly, I think it’s brilliant but I guess it takes more than one person to say if is a good idea. (EX. A bajillion pull ups in one day)I got this from Bodybuilding.com SUE ME!!! I like it!!!

(Minus Cardio and Abs)
(And Lower reps)
Ok, thanks.

Anytime 
Serious question: why do you think it’s brilliant?
I can’t see how that is a six day split plus one full body day. It is more like a four day plit with one full body day and two cardio days. Just because abs are done with the cardio doesn’t quite make it a six day split. Put it this way… thats a good thing. A true six day split and a full body day would be a bad idea.
zzzzzzzzzzzzz
It’s not unlike doing an upper/lower/total-body split. Seems like a good idea provided you have a reason for doing it.
I’ve just read through the article. This paragraph in particular stood out:
“Think of it this way, low reps and heavy weight may be able to account for 75% of your maximum muscle mass and strength potential, but if you only work in this repetition range then you are missing out on 25% of muscle fiber development. I’m completely making up these percentages, but I think you get the idea.”
OK. So the whole premise of the article is to convince you to spend time building 25% of your maximum muscle mass and potential when you could just as easliy be doing a workout that stimulates 75% of your muscle fiber development.
The author also admits to making up the above ratios.
Well, I’m convinced. Where do I sign up?
looks bollocks to me.apart from getting a pump the author doesn’t list any gains.
browse through here and you will probably find something better.You searched for training - T NATION

Because it’s different. Okay, maybe brilliant wasn’t the word.

The reason I asked that question was to find out why this program appealed to you.
The fact that the author is trying to convince the reader to follow a less than optimal approach to building strength and muscle, while admitting to making up facts and figures is enough of a reason not to follow it.
But that’s just my opinion.

That makes too much sense. Try again.
damn their articles are boring and hard to read.
All the damn “breaks” of “related article” just totally mess up the flow.

OK. Here goes nothing:
The truth is, I don’t think the human race is ready for this type of training yet. It’s just too dangerous. In the wrong hands, it could be lethal.
The program should be locked in a vault for at least a few thousand years. Maybe we can dust it off and reconsider it when we have reached a higher level of evolution. Say, when we all have telekinesis, more than one ass, and multiple arms to wipe them with…
Better?
Oh dear… Chest day - Incline Smith Machine Presses
Hammer Strength Chest Press
Machine Flat Presses… etc.
Bodybuilding.com will publish anything.
I look at splits like these and ask: Whats the point?
