The split doesn't actually make any sense. You are covering 2/3 of the bodies muscle mass on day 2 and little in comparison on the other day.

Plus I have never been a fan of just the same set of exercises and rep schemes when doing A/B or upper/lower or push/pull. You have to change the routine a lot more regularly and you don't make as much progress.

^^ Yes read some of the training articles and threads here.

Fullbody does need to be thought about in terms of what you need in your training and how it fits with your lifestyle. The mix has to include a hip dominant pull, a quad dominant press, a horizontal press, a horizontal pull, a vertical press and a vertical pull.

Ive never thought of it in terms like that. I like it. That really does include everything and it is very simple yet effective and balanced.

^^ I forgot the poasis isolation raise too. Very important to mention all the little things you should do in training to the exclusion of the big basics.
