Wow, that looks pretty long. Almost too long. It'll be awhile before you get back to the first body part.

I think it depends. How long have you been lifting? What does your workout look like now? If you've been at it for a while and have already been through your initial surge of super growth perhaps the 10 day split would work and of course resting your muscle groups is good but I would still favor a 5/6 day split. In conclusion I'll have to say I don't exactly know :/

Anyone else have input on this?

thats the stupidest routine ever

it would probably be good if your goal is to be a fat ass

god you have like 7 rest days and 3 workout days

[a-n-i]

way too much rest time between workouts for each muscle group...

useless, coz the muscle u train on the first day will be gone by the time you train them again 10 days later.

The Natural One uses a routine even longer than that, though he is doing HIIT cardio on some of the off days.

10 day splits are not the norm, but the body is not a text book so if you want to try it out for a few weeks to see how it does for you go ahead. You are young enough you could do a normal 5 day split and do fine though more than likely.

Here is the article by Chad Shaw in which he outlines his 14 day split:
