You can't really prescribe a "best" way for someone's entire training career. The fact is that people fail to realize that their needs and tolerances change as their training age changes. Trying to do the same training year after year, no matter what it is is just as responsible for lack of consistent progress as the taining itself.

That is not to say that people need to make broad sweeping changes all the time but they do need to be able to adapt their training to their changing needs as they go along. And those needs of course are going to be based on their goals as well.

Not to be raining on anyone's parade, but not many are going to be able to get bigger and bigger throughout an entire career JUST doing fullbodies anymore than most average trainees will do well on bodypart splits starting out as compared to fullbody.

A bigger problem, imho, than the trends in training are people's need to go from one extreme to the other. Training 6 days a week on a bodypart split is bad so therefore training 2 to 3 days per week is "best". There is not one best way. We go around saying "2 or 3 days is best" which is an OVERREACTION and pretty soon, due to it not being the best for everyone you'll get an UNDERREACTION and everybody will be doing bodypart splits again. Avoid both over and underreaction....realize that the answer is based on the individual and likely lies somewhere in the middle.

And when it comes to splits, you have to rate them on a continuum. Not all splits are created equal. The ever popular westside is a "split". A split can still be high frequency and proper distribution of volume. And that is the key...the distribution. Fullbodies are great when their great. I myself cannot really make do with a fullbody anymore. Even if I try it requires way too much manipulation. And upper lower or some other split with similar distrbution works best for me...especially my needs for continued strength gains and needing maximal work.

People keep mentioning supplements and we certainly have a lot more help on that front. Especially help meeting our protein needs. But we also have a whole lot more knowledge when it comes to nutrition as well.

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