What have you guys found to be the optimal frequency for hitting body parts? I know it's all relative to the intensity if the session, but what is the frequency that you guys have gotten the best results from?
Is that hitting everything twice a week?Six days on. One off. Rotate.
Personally I can't go more than 5 days in a week. Body parts I can hit twice a week with no problems are back and shoulders. My volume is high 5-6 sets per exercise and approximately 5-8 exercise per bodypart. If I pin one day or take PHs I think I'll do compounds only twice a week per body part. I'm expecting a faster recovery with better gears
So you're doing over 25 sets for every group, multiple times per week?Personally I can't go more than 5 days in a week. Body parts I can hit twice a week with no problems are back and shoulders.

That's quite a bit of volume though so that's definitely understandable. I wouldn't be able to do more often than that either. But I don't grow as well.
Probably more. I've come to a point where I bang out 1.5-2 hrs. When I started the follidrone and osta stack I doubled in volume. My only issue now is my shoulder problem so my ches workout will be on hold for the next month.So you're doing over 25 sets for every group, multiple times per week?
This post is curious to me. Not being a jerk here but you weigh 115 lbs at 5'7" and you jog twice a day on days between lifting. Are you trying to gain muscle mass? Or training for marathon? My apologies if weight is in kg.It's a case to case basis. On my end, I lift every other day maintaining the same intensity. I also jog at least twice a day in between lift days.
I'm trying to gain mass mate but at the same time I don't want to lose my speed and agility because I play football (soccer). I'm trying to balance things right now really. My coach want me to bulk up a little because I'm really thin.This post is curious to me. Not being a jerk here but you weigh 115 lbs at 5'7" and you jog twice a day on days between lifting.

Thanks! Any advise on how to work on my calves? I know squats are more for the quads. I wan't to work more on my calves because that will be more useful in my sport.Try sprints instead of jogging, jogging eats muscles or just cut the cardio for a while if anything putting on some muscle will make you faster. Squat, squat and squat some more. I'm an inch taller than you and 205 but can still run under a 6min mile so don't worry about losing speed
Squats will benefit your sport FAR more than calf work. Squats hit quads, hams, hips, flutes, and core, aka your speed muscles. Squats, sprints, and jumps should be the foundation of your training, not calves. Hitting up some low intensity (light, not easy) calf work once a week won't cut into your recovery, so knock yourself out. But don't major in the minors by worrying about calves.Thanks!
