Is training each muscle once per week effective for natural bodybuilders?
If you train it right, yesIs training each muscle once per week effective for natural bodybuilders?
but training twice instead of once with apropriated muscle recovery it's probably better..If you train it right, yes
Not necessarily, less is often more. You don't grow in the gym you grow when you eat and follow it with sufficient rest. Don't fall into that hole, that if I train chest 3 times a week it'll grow three times as much.but training twice instead of once with apropriated muscle recovery it's probably better..
Exactly. That said, for bodybuilders (specially for beginners) a basic workout with Compound movements would be best. It would be best for them to focus on movements and not on muscle groups until they have managed to master the basics, along with proper dieting and rest.Not necessarily, less is often more.

yeah I know that's why I said with apropriated muscle recovery, but still not sure which of them is the best way, well let's consider they're both good waysNot necessarily, less is often more.

How often do you switch it up? I just got done doing Jim Stoppani's 12 week shortcut to size program. Now I'm going to try my own thing for a bit hitting everything twice a week. Should I do that for 4 weeks or more or less? Whenever I've kinda run my own program I've switched it up about every month.i always change it up. sometimes i do everything twice a week then ill go back to once a week, then 5x5, then DC...etc main point is muscle confusion
I would personally give a program no less than eight weeks, unless it's significantly difficult on your joints and/or recovery.How often do you switch it up?

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give 8 weeks a shot. The 12 week program I just got done I saw really impressive gains but they switched up reps every week.I would personally give a program no less than eight weeks, unless it's significantly difficult on your joints and/or recovery.
NP.Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give 8 weeks a shot. The 12 week program I just got done I saw really impressive gains but they switched up reps every week.
4-8 weeks depending on the routine. 5x5 kills me mentally so i go no longer than 4 with thatHow often do you switch it up? I just got done doing Jim Stoppani's 12 week shortcut to size program.

I don't disagree with this, but I just want to addend it a little.I would personally give a program no less than eight weeks, unless it's significantly difficult on your joints and/or recovery.
If you lift with intensity and really crush the muscle you are lifting that day you can get great results. If you eat properly, you should consider training each muscle group twice a week. I am a huge fan of compound lifts accompanied by support work. I would recommend a split like this for you:Is training each muscle once per week effective for natural bodybuilders?
Yep its not about what plan you choose its how you go about it. Intesity/recovery etcIf you train it right, yes
