I like Dave. Smart guy, Christian, funny. Sometimes he gets carried away with volume. But the set up of the routine looks good. He has a good site to. Lots of pics and stories of the Old days.

Dave's the man. His website is great.

I have never attempted any of the workouts that he suggestes but it does seem to be a lot of volume. There is some good strategies such as doing antagonist muscle groups ie back/chest. I'm not sold on supersetting but he swears by it.

Another factor to take into consideration is his diet. He eats well over 4000 calories per day of good quality food. This will certainly give him a bigger window for training without over-training than your average trainee.

Too many sets, though it would seem to add refinement and quality; might be worth trying short term, for a few months just to see what it adds.
