train chest how many times a week?

[hitchafide]

i normally train chest monday and thursday. but is that too much or should it only be once a week

ps, my chest days always get 12 sets. each day

[Vinsanity32]

I usually train chest hard once a week.

[Bubbak]

It depends. I do one time per week. Others do 2.

As long as there is enough recovery time in between workouts, I think you fine.

If you hit Chest Monday then want to again at the end of the week, I don't see a problem.

[__Iceman__]

Depends on the program. Once or twice a week are both fine generally.

[hitchafide]

thanks for the input, but hows this

monday
incline Db 3x10
flat DB 3x10
decline 3x10
weighted dips 3x3-5

thursday
decline DB 3x10
flat DB 3x10
incline DB 3x10
flyes 3x10

??

what would you change, if any?
btw my lower chest is lagging thats why i did decline and weighted dips same day.

[Robination]

What does your split look like? (Curious)

I generally work out chest once a week (4 exercises, 3 sets each).

[EliteExtra]

I train train chest once every 9 days and do 3 or 4 work sets (1 for benchpress, 2-3 of dumbell presses). But I also do dips with military presses on a differant day and work up to one set of five reps. I do that once every 9 days too

[eelsemaj]

I do everything 2 times a week.

Sheesh brah I just wanted to know what bodypart you trained on each day lol

Why don't you have a workout on Saturday or Sunday and put a rest day on a weekday?

I personally think you should stick to chest once a week, but add another exercise, or just hit the harder in general.

Edit - And moar leg exercises!

What a copycat

Why do you avoid working out on weekends lol?

not fully, ive been just researching and finding out more people like push ups for chest (i never do push up, so dedicated a full day for body weight exercises could be beneficial)

i dont try to avoid it, i just seem to get all my workouts done during the week, so i eat all weekend (daytime)

its just how it works out

Yeah I've only done this for about 2-3 weeks so far. I tend to switch my routine a lot.

[rsc07c]

99% of the time I only do chest once a week but if my schedule gets messed up for whatever reason I can end up doing chest on a Monday and again on Friday. But I only aim for once a week, twice a week is a rare occasion.
