Well I agree wholeheartedly in terms of 3 day FULLBODY but this is a little different...a little conservative. I have noticed that Iron Addict tends to underestimate recovery thinking that the reason so many people he deals with are on bodypart splits is because their recovery sucks when in fact their recovery sucks BECAUSE they've always been on bodypart splits.

The second day Wednesday is upper body only. Then Monday AND Frifday of the second week is upper body only. It's assuming that a beginner can only squat once a week. You deadlift once in two entire weeks. If you practice things more often your recovery improves. Now I know he's calling this a "power" based routine but in terms of overall strength development for a beginner many people do quite well on programs that have them squatting 2 or 3 times a week and deadlifting. A beginner's WSB program would have you squatting twice a week. One day may be speed day but a beginner is gonna feel that...

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
