Just because he's been lifting for 2.5 years doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about. Most of the people you see in the gym don't know shit. EVERYBODY that works out hard has beginner gains like that. They will stop though. You will still go up a little here and there, but nothing compared to what you could do. There is a difference between working out hard and working out smart. Most of us on the forum prefer to do both. Besides, the people on the forum have for the most part been lifting for longer than 2.5 years and are very well educated. So I would listen to the advice if I were you. Especially when the workout you posted is so blatantly...bad.

And the split that mokaid posted is completely arbitrary...it doesn't really change anything.
