well for beginners its usually better to do wat the basics are (train a muscle once a week) but for training its good to bend the rules a bit every once in awhile...but dont get carried away

advanced lifters can get away with lifting 2 times a week but it can be alil taxing on ur body depending on how far away they are spaced in the week(obviously)
ive heard of some pplz lifting arms 3 days a week but i think u just need to eat alot and be careful on form and dont lift too heavy if u do it that often (just my experience). i dont do too many muscles 2 times a week at all, just on occasion so u will prob need other advice from pplz posting here

btw...just from guessing u seem alil new at bbing..so u might wanna stick to just once a week per muscle for a few months if u are

For beginners it is best to train twice a week, for advanced lifters you want to train that muscle group ONCE every 5-7 days. The more advanced you are the more intense typically your workouts are. Thus requiring more rest time.

I started lifting about 6 months ago. So how many times a week should i work a muscle group?

agreed. you seriously have to look at what level of training you are at and what you want to do with your phyisique. dont think that "oh i have a year of SERIOUS lifting beneath me, im a pro" will cut it either, it doesnt. personally, as for this "how many times a week" stuff, id rather put it in "how many days before i shuold work them again" terms. for new guys, work arms, then wait ill say 3 days and that would be the earliest to perform arms again. guys whove been lifting and know their stuff, i agree with the 5-7 days, becuase you will need th break (i personally dont even think about doing arms will at LEAST 4 days after because mine are still hurting). hope that helps
