Sure!
We have 2 arms, 2 legs and 7 seven/week to workout so it is very hard to say something really new in 2019
I remember that lyle mcdonlad quoted a very old book (it I'm not wrong, it was late '800, suggestions 3x week, 8-10 reps for muscle group).
there is a reason why I quoted Brian and Scott.
Brian was the first to analyze training method in a very scientific way and was the first to fix the idea that "protein super compensation doesn't exists" and that completly changed the approach to training.
anyway, HST had some problems, especially related to volume and periodization.
Scott moved from many of the researches Brian used, training a more holistic and flexible approach.
now, consider Jeff nippaRd: he is pushing the idea to train full body, high frequency, 2-3 movement for lower body and 4-5 for upper body and says that stretching increases hypertrophy.
Does it sound familiar?!?!?!?!?!?!?
He was a split routine supporter, now he completly changed his mind. Nothing wrong with that but if you are using FT, call it FT. Do not sell it has your genuine idea and pay to Scott the moral tribute!
