You'd be working your entire body 3 and 4 days a week. You're only giving your muscles one day to rest. Bad idea, your body grows out of the gym. Way overtraining.

Actually that depends on what he's trying to accomplish.

If he's doing moderate weight weights and limited sets then he'll be fine.

It's not a good routine for gaining muscle but it's good for losing body fat.

Depending on how hard you train, 5-7 days rest between bodyparts is a good rule to follow. Some people claim they get good results on 3-4 days between bodyparts, but I find it leads to burnout.

If you are watching the volume, then total body is fine - if you are just in this for general fitness. Without insane conditioning its very hard to challenge yourself strength wise with a full body workout, these routines just aren't built for that.

Jane Fonda types, sure.
