HE WHO MAKES A BEAST OF HIMSELF, GET'S RID OF THE PAIN OF BEING A MAN!!
I don't like hitting any one muscle group more than once a week so it has time to recover unless I'm on special vitamens. But you know your body better than anyone. Just remember that overtraining will not add size!

Why not? I'd have to look it up but studies show training frequency is good for strenght and mass gain. My only supplements are fish oil and multi vitamins and I've made some of my best gains doing fullbody workouts.
I would recommend Practical Programming for Strength Training by Rippetoe & Kilgore. Excellent read.
muscles grow while at rest -not pushing iron. Muscles must have time to recover and grow and adapt to the strain that has been put on them- if they don't have time to recover- they don't have adequate time to grow to there full potential. When I tried running 7 day routines -my growth was hampered tremendously compared to when I backed off to 4-5 days a wk. I'm sure there are some instances this doesn't seem to affect peeps, but for the common majority this is it.
i do flexion and extension. I usually switch to a push/pull for a few weeks then back to the regular 3 or 5 day split. then ill mix up some crossfit and back to the grind again. gotta keep the body guessing.

Depends on intensity of each workout. Take for example the Westide template. It's primarily for powerlifting but can also be tweaked for mass gains by working up to 5rep maxes instead of singles, or the sheiko programs as well in which you do squat bench and deads three times per week. The key is understanding volume and working your percentages the right way. I think that misunderstanding and tryin to go balls out on each workout is what typically leads to overtraining and cns burnout.
