If I`m not mistaken,I beleive that Dorian Yates used this routine.

I used it for 3 months a little over a year ago. It's a good routine for somebody who's easily overtrained or struggles with recovery, IMO. Plus it teaches you to push heavier weights because you're not blowing your wad with 3-4 sets of every exercise, one is all you get.

I did it 4-5 years ago. I guess it's a good basic routine if you don't want to complicate things with periodization and shit.
