Mark chaillet was a genetic freak who was 220lbs 8% bf at 5'9 and 20 years old, he abused drugs and he never experimented with his training, so who cares?

Just follow the training that allows you to make comparable progress with less effort or time commitment, or the one that allows you to make progress without stalling.

Upper lower every 4 days =\= training a muscle once every 7 days. Once every 4 days is basically a 2x a week frequency.

All of those people are genetic freaks who abused drugs.

That's not how dorian trained before he hopped on GH/slin, training doesn't even matter once you're permanently injecting yourself with myofibrillar protein synthesis spiking injectable drugs every ~10 hours.
