2 times a week or 1

[gotswole?]

I train 6 days a week but Im wondering what other people have had the most success with. Should I be training the same muscles once a week or twice? My diet is good and I've been gaining size lifting each one once a week. I realize everyones body responds differently but I'm just asking for other opinions.

once is plenty

I prefer once every 6 days myself... but once a week is fine too. 2 times a week is going to be too much for most people.

yep, once is more than enough, unless you want to bring up a "lazy" part IMO

[goliath.jr]

yup...

[jack hust]

one time a week for me

I get better gains from once a week. I've tried both.

when on aas it is ok to train twice a week because your recovery time is so much greater. off aas keep it at once per week.

once

if i want to bring up a problem area, would it be best to do it 2x a week?

[warpalien]

once a week unless your cycling, then your recovery time will be better and you can hit certain areas a 2nd time.

I like a 4 on 1 off split, making it once every 5 days...but because of the way I work, most weeks there's an extra off day, making it once every 6

i do 6 on 1 off, and i hammer each muscle group hard enough, bordering on over training, that doing anymore is goign to be detrimental. If you can work a muscle twice a week, your not working it hard enough in the first place. And do do, heavy and then light, a msucle regrows when you dont work it out, alls your doing with heavy then light, is breaking it down again 3 days later. I overly recovered muscle, is a stronger muscle. There are always going to be gentic freaks who train twice a week, like Ronnie or Arnold, but unless you are them, dont imitate them.
