"Then consider the specific fatigue caused to each muscle group when performing multiple compound movements recruiting similar muscle groups. Conduct a military press after your shoulders have already been hammered with dumbbell bench presses and dips, and the weight you'll have to select will be considerably lower than you'd typically use during a military press/pull-up workout."
i find that explanation very true. i current do a split, but from wut i learned and was taught was doing the compound or rather the harder compound exercise first, to get it out of the way and not struggle on it as the last workout.
i can't really say wuts better or more beneficial because i only been working out for 8months. but the way i see it, doing 3-5 compound exercises will wear me out entirely, especially in the beginning. Even on my chest days after i do flat, incline, decline or inlcine, flat, decline,then moving on to flies, over heads or wutver , not to mention the tricep workout after chest, is not a walk in the park, but since i'm making a secondary into a primary, when i switch from chest workout to tri, it does help alternate the use of muscle group and energy.
*Also i would imagine when moving things from point A to point B in various situation ( E.G. World's strongest man competition) the person who does FBW would be more efficient, since he practiced using more muscle groups of muscle to do things as oppose to a person who been doin split. like my friend he eats and eats doens't gain a pound, does a couple of compound excerises and he can do alot more pull ups, push ups, sit ups, and other calisthenics/compound exercise than people who go to the gym and do split workout.
thats just my 2 cents, i might actually start doin a full body workout in a month or two. but i wonder wut routine makes u looks fit faster?
