You're welcome! And you got me curious enough to go look again. Here's what she says about the split workouts. She says beginners should go whole-body, interesting.

exercise choices and the workout split
Many weightlifters work on a split routine or cycle. For the reasons why they do this, see my page on rest and periodization. They may break the workouts up by:
bodyparts: e.g. one day upper body, one day lower body
lift type: e.g. pushing versus pulling exercises
intensity and loading: heavy, medium, and light
skill focus: strength, speed, agility, etc.
Essentially, splitting the workout up allows you to focus on different things, while optimizing recovery potential.
However, while beginners should usually start with a full body workout, it is a myth that experienced trainees must always use a split based on bodyparts. It can be quite effective to perform a full body workout (or approximately a full body workout) each time, as long as the amount of work performed is carefully controlled. Indeed, no matter how experienced a gym rat you are, you can do a full-body routine at each and every workout without overtraining. The key is in the application: you don’t go all out each time, and you don’t do three billion exercises. For an example of an effective full-body routine, check out my workout pages.
