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.

Exactly. I'm not saying that you NEED the recovery of Ronnie Coleman to do more..I'm saying it's on the lower echelon of volume. Most people I've seen can more than handle an upper/lower split without even bothering with a deload. Shit, almost everyone here can more than handle three FULLBODY's using
twice that amount of volume and progress easily for 6-8 weeks before deloading!
I guess it's offensive to name something a "beginner" program.
My bad..I personally see it as a lowered volume for hardgainers...I don't personally believe 90% of the populace need something that's low volume. It's NOT a three day split neither..It's an upper lower split, but has a lot more days off.. (week 1: upper, lower, upper...week 2: L, U, L) DC uses that split as well, BUT, using rest/pausing requires more days off.
Recovery is based on a lot of other aspects aside from genetics. Maybe I speak for myself when I say I need more than 2 sets of 5 reps squatting?
But, it's only a GENERAL program.
