Q

Why should beginners avoid body part splits in their training programs?

A

Beginners should avoid body part splits because their primary adaptation in the first 6–12 months is neural efficiency, which benefits from high-frequency practice of the same movement patterns. Full-body training three times a week allows for each muscle group to be stimulated more frequently, enhancing both muscle growth and coordination compared to a split routine that only targets each muscle group once per week.

This is one answer. The complete system — the psychology, the biology, and the method — is in the book.
