Default Which program do you think I should do?

Should I do a program like this:

Mon: Biceps, triceps, shoulders, abs
Tues: Chest, back, legs, abs
Wed: Same as Mon
Thurs: Same as Tues
Friday: Same as Mon
Sunday: Same as Tues

That is what my friend is doing. Or should I do 0311's idea of:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you really want to do HST, I suggest you do the basic program. Something like this:

2 weeks 15 reps
2 weeks 10 reps
3 weeks 5 reps

First 2 weeks, everything is 15 reps per set. 1 set per exercise. Three workouts per week every other day. Example: Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

[1 x 15] Squats
[1 x 15] Bench
[1 x 15] Shoulder Press
[1 x 15] Pulldowns
[1 x 15] Rows
[1 x 15] Barbell Curls
[2 x 15] Calves

Second 2 weeks, everything drops to 10 reps per set, but now you get to do 2 sets per exercise. Still three workouts per week.

[2 x 10] Squats
[2 x 10] Hamstring Curls
[2 x 10] Bench
[2 x 10] Shoulder Press
[2 x 10] Pulldowns
[2 x 10] Rows
[2 x 10] Barbell Curls
[3 x 10] Calves (Just my preference to keep volume high for calves)

Final 3 weeks, everything once again drops down, this time to 5 reps per set. Now you can do 2-3 sets per exercise. Still three workouts in a week.

[3 x 5] Squats
[2 x 5] Hamstring Curls
[3 x 5] Bench
[3 x 5] Shoulder Press
[3 x 5] Pulldowns
[3 x 5] Rows
[3 x 5] Barbell Curls
[3 x 5] Triceps Extensions
[3 x 10] Calves

But the thing is on this one he doesn't even have triceps.

So which one do you think I should do?
