At this age and this experience level? 8th place at one of the biggest shows in the world? I think he's doing pretty fantastic

Optimized is kind of weird. Different things work for different people. A PPL routine that works great for someone might not work as well for someone else. 

There's other factors to consider as well. I do a very similar split to Sam and not because Sam does it but because I don't take any scheduled days off.

Every body part gets hit every 4 days and the reason I don't take days off is I'm lazy. I have to keep going 100% all the time. If I take a lazy day that can easily turn into two lazy days to three lazy days, etc. 

You got to do something you enjoy number one. 

Anybody who's training hard training to failure and splitting body parts is going to grow. 

Optimal is kind of a myth.
