How many times a week you guys hitting each muscle?

[BrayanBellony]

Just wondering How many times a week you fella's are working out each bodypart, when it comes to mass gaining?
Ive always done the standard 1x a week for each muscle.
What do you guys feel is best for muscle growth? once or twice a week each muscle

[jcha94]

2x. try to hit at least 2 times. frequency>volume at our nub levels

twice a week? Are you doing really heavy lifting ? and both days heavy days or one light day one heavy?

[SamSix]

twice. no more than 3

[Cumberland]

I personally have better gains on each muscle once per week but you have to experiment to find what suits your body the best

[strangeclouds]

At least twice for all targeted muscle groups.

[Ensix]

Twice. Easiest way would be a push/pull or upper/lower split and 4 days a week.

[ironman622]

I like my 5day splits for mass/strength

[KrisGuitarNY]

I started off with:
Monday: Chest+Tris
Tuesday: Back+Bis
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Chest+tris
Friday: Shoulders
Saturday: Deadlifts

A few months ago I went to
Monday: Shoulders+Biceps
Tuesday: Legs
Wednesday: Abs
Thursday: Chest+Triceps

[Kilenz]

I go about 4-5 times a week. So i work legs 4-5 times a week, chest 2-3 times, shoulders 2-3 times, back 2-3 times.

All compound movements so im generally hitting my main muscles every session.

[aussie_steven]

i hit every muscle once directly and another time indirectly, any lagging parts i hit twice a week atm it's legs

[JayT1990]

The only muscle im hitting twice a week is Triceps. The rest only getting hit the once

[Vitek92]

Twice or more.

[BrayanBellony]

thanks fella's yeah i guess im guna have to experiment and see what happens

[peanut-butter]

2-4 per week. Twice for larger muscle groups, lats, chest, quads ect. 3-4 for smaller traps ect.

At least twice for all targeted muscle groups.

Another, another account. Why?

[Rizkt]

3! Upper/lower 6 days a week

[vjke]

Twice when doing upper/lower.
Thrice when doing full body.
I cycle them

[westgateok]

This thread is an eye opener. Think Ive been going about it all wrong. Going to switch it up to hitting them twice a week. Glad I checked this out thanks all

[agrier9]

2-3x a week traps/calfs/shoulders 3x

[7399martyn]

I squat, press and pull everyday.

[ProfessorSnape9]

I train with an upper/lower based of layne norton's PHAT routine. It looks like this:

Upper: strength(4-6 reps)
Lower: strength(4-6 reps)
Rest
Upper: hypertrophy(8-15 reps)
Lower: strength(4-6 reps)
Rest
Rest

You'll notice I train legs with heavy reps on BOTH lower days. That's because my entire family including me all have naturally large legs. I've found that no matter what rep range I train my legs in they grow bigger very easily. Since they grow large regardless of range, I take advantage of this and train them exclusively in low rep ranges so as to gain size AND strength.

I've made great gains in size and strength with this routine and j highly recommend it.

I've been using PHAT for 1 year and these are my results

Weight: 190 to 220
Body fat: 10% to 8%
bench: 135 to 240
Squat: 150 to 310
Deadlift: 223 to 370

[BURGUENO]

2-3 times a week.
