Bottom line is there is a time and place for each type of split with a properly designed program. No one type should be done all year long and it depends on the individuals current needs state what type of split they should be doing.

You can have great success from all types of splits as long as the program is set up properly. Most experts agree that bodypart splits have there place, as well as push/pull, upper/lower, etc... Its everyone else who tends to disagree.

Upper/lower using the DC 2-way schedule, but done 4 days a week. Usually 2-3 sets per muscle group per workout.
