>knowing it was probably full body 3x a week like you said
Yes!

My critique of HIT is related to the ridiculously low frequency and volume frequently used.

I don't know how these people actually train or trained at their peak, all I have is their word and taking a look at their photos years previously I can't tell if they even maintained size.

You should have highlighted all the "ifs" of the last paragraph.
Arthur jones never had a bodybuilder train once every third week.
Arthur jones just like mentzer after him lost the plot close to the end of their careers.
This is what arthur jones believed was the ideal routine, at least for a time.

The highlighted text makes sense, if you check some of the templates like pic related you can find that the rest times are ridiculously short and some muscles do get like 3-5 sets all to failure, doing that 3x a week is likely to be way too much for average people, but the fact he had to address that shows that his version of HIT was indeed originally full body 3x a week.
This matters because a lot of people will attach themselves onto some training style or scene and then justify their loyalty by pointing out examples of success from the past which don't actually represent what they are defending.

Never heard of him to be frank.

I like that dude followed, tried training like him and got nowhere.
It's safe to assume his alleged results with such minimalistic training aren't replicable by the average person knowing what happens when real people have their training supervised and there's no room for obfuscations or leaving things out.

>He says in the video linked below that he does a traditional PushPullLegs split MonWedFri.
He says.
Has he made any gains training like that?
>It seems to be really popular in the UK
Might have something to do with the laws pertaining to steroid possession/use.
