Brainstorming my next cycle regimen…

Based on remarks at this webpage:
Modern bodybuilding has been saturated with the BODY PART SPLIT SYSTEM. Day One is Legs, Day Two is back, Day Three is Arms, and so on. This splitting is not the best way to train for maximum strength and size. Your body, as a system, needs days of rest. You don't need 22 sets for back and 18 sets for chest, and so on..with all sorts of multiangle exercises to make progress. In fact just the opposite is true. You need 6 to 8 basic, hard exercises, done in good form, performed every few days, for 15 to 20 some total sets. Some of you may not believe this type of training works. I challenge you to prove me wrong. Train this way for 6 months and (if you are resting and eating) you will experience gains like never before.
I propose the following as a rough guide for a basic-exercise regimen to commence in May:
Squat 4 sets legs Pullups 4 sets back/arms Bench press 4 sets chest Snatch deadlift 3 sets back/legs Military press 3 sets arms Preacher bench curls 4 sets arms Cable pushdowns or Pullovers with press 4 sets
