I will be trying out this workout starting monday. I decided to do it for a month. To see if its any good. I know alot of people will say a month is not a long time but I have seen good and bad results from just a months worth of training doing a certain routine.

yeah i have read that training your muscles times per week is too much, but i just wanted sum info

[JD82]

True, but this workout has you doing one set per exericise. Going heavy. So I dont know. If you did 4 sets per exercise it would be too much.

i use hit and i would have to say that the program off bb.com doesn't look bad, but i think there is a couple things wrong with it. here is the routine your talking about

Squats 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Leg Extensions 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Leg Curls 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Dumbbell Pullovers 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Barbell Overhead Shoulder Press 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Seated Rows 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Bench Press 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Barbell Bicep Curls 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Tricep Extensions 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Weighted Pullups 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Weighted Dips 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Standing Calf Raises 1 X 8 - 12 reps
Abs - 1 X 10 - 15 reps

for your standard hit program, this [in my opinion] is too much volume, even though it is a full body workout. but if you are training to absolute failure on every set [absolute failure meaning you cannot possible move the weight another inch without assistance], you'll see what i mean about there being to much volume. secondly, if your are trying to put on the maximum amount a muscle in a minimum time, you should not do isolation movements, as they don't do much in the way of adding muscle. here is a good full body hit workout i suggest- full squats- 15-20 reps, pullovers- 10 reps, standing press-10 reps, chins- 10 reps, dips-12 reps, barbell curls- 10 reps, shrugs-15 reps, stiff-legged deadlifts-15 reps. make sure you take every set to absolute failure.

Honestly, IMO, it's a LAZY man workout!! Come on, how is one set of squats going to stimulate the whole leg region? I think this idea of " LESS IS BETTER" is getting a little out of hand!!

Have you ever tried a 20 rep full deep squat before? You should give it a try sometime. After completing a set I felt like I have done 10 sets.
