  i just do different exercises on different days not really caring which part it hits.Yea spilt body training is overrated.. but definately not useless.

  i think i get the brief idea of his message.A full body workout must be done to release more growth hormone and testerone to reap the full benefits.And maybe he is lambasting those spilt day routines for having too many isolation exercises

  How's your split like?
  
  Anyway,I agree split training is not entirely useless also.Just that they are more suitable for more advanced trainees and also they are often associated with the use of crappy isolation movements.
  
  here is an article comparing the two training systems.
