How often should I work out? I'm 15...trying to gain some muscle. ALL of the articles on bodybuilding.com suggest working out 3-4 days per week, which is what I'm currently doing. Many users on this forum are suggesting that I should work out more than that. I dunno though, every other day seems sufficient to me.
What do you think?

I think its really all personal. I work out 6 days a week because i feel my body can fully perform and recover adequetly. If you think that 3 or 4 days works and your split is good, I'de say stick with it.
On the flip side, if your not seeing the results you want over a long period of time, I'de definately say switch it up.

it depends on how much muscle you want to gain and how much you enjoy working out

I'm not asking what is the most enjoyable! I'm asking what produces the best results. Your muscles grow on off days and I'm just 15. I don't no...you havn't convinced me at all. You have no good reasons.
If you guys think 5 days per week is best then why do all the articles on bb.com suggest 3-4...
