For the most part, I agree, and so does the science behind muscle function...
Mine is about 1.5 a day six days a week. I enjoy the gym and like the feeling of doing cardio so it's not a burden.
Muscle growth is all about rest and recovery. 1x a week or every 4 days per muscle group is plenty. That's why bodybuilders normally do it this way.Can you show me where science says each body part needs 4 days rest?

Only if you mind telling me where I said you're wasting your time. I didn't say that.
You easily could. I could cut it in third and do it. It's 80% diet, 20% workout for the most part. You have to eat constantly (I believe in grazing 6x a day weather losing, maintaining, or gaining), and that is by far the hardest part for just about everyone.Well you did tell me that I could cut my workout in half and maintain the same bf%.

Many single people are working out to attract a mate. Once a mate is trapped they get married. Once married they have kids. Kids = No Time for the Gym. No Gym time = Going back to being fat and unattractive.
I think Chops workout routine is legit.
But I would eventually have a problem with the mental side of going to the gym and knowing I had to be there for 3 hours.
On the days you really don't have time or you are out of town-this plan is shot.
On the other hand, if you miss a day within your 5-6 day weekly routine, you can easily make it up.
missing a day for me can also easily be made up. If I can't go on a certain day(the 3rd day) just simply go the next day and and treat that like the day before and your 3 day countdown till the next workout starts on that day.
Since I'm working every body part 3x a week anyway missing a day every once I. A while is no big deal.
Also something I did not mention my routine varies based on if I'm on a cut or a bulk phase.
Right now I'm on the later stages of a cut.
