Splitting up Weight Training

I know there are some real experts out there on weight training, so I'd like to get your opinion on something. I am currently doing NROL4W (no judging please, everyone has a fave program), and of course each day has a certain # of different lifts to do, as well as # of sets & reps. Due to work & family schedules, I'm having a hard time getting the big chunks of gym time that I need to do each complete workout.

Is there any harm to splitting into a morning workout & an evening workout? Does this really change anything about the calories burned/muscle built? I assume that it is best to do all sets of a particular lift, rather than doing one set of several different lifts, right?

    Short answer: Go ahead and do it.
    Long answer:
    upside: You'll be fresher for the other lifts.
    downside: less muscle overload.
