I work 5-6 days a week. But that's just because (1) I really enjoy lifting, and (2) I have plenty of free time. I usually spend just 25-30 minutes each day, so my total weekly volume is probably comparable to most people doing 3-day splits.

Mon - Back/Bi's
Tues - Chest/Tri's
Thurs - Leg/Delts
Fri - Arms

Occasionally I'll change it up and do Delts on Friday and leave out the arm only exercises.

I do 5 days a week. 3 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off.

After reading so much, and basically overhauling my program. I have come to the conclusion that 2-3 days in the gym with a full body routine or close to it is the best overall way to make gains. I'm currently on a 2 day a week split and the gains I'm getting are enormous. I highly recommend Beyond Brawn and Starting Strength they are great reads that really open a lot of peoples eyes.

i agree 3 days in the gym full body workouts is amazing.. I am using HST and the new Max Stim with good results..

[Ripped1]

I prefer a 5 day split, 3 on 1 off 2 on 1 off. This allows me to train heavy take a break and train heavy.

I do 6 days a week , i enjoy hitting only one muscle a day and i also do forearms and calves 3 days a week.

[bigluke39]

I workout every other day, so there is no right answer for me, and I workout 3.5 days per week. (3 one week, and 4 the next, alternating this every week.) Maybe once every 6 weeks, I will skip a Sunday workout, and move it to Monday.

Bench: 5x5 (80% of 5 rm)
Squat: 1x5 (work up to 1 set @ 5rm)

Wed:
Bench 5x5 (all sets @ 5 rep max)
Squat: 5x5 (80% of 5 rm)

At week 5 I'll drop the 80% exercises and go do 3x3 and 1x3, during week 5 I use 5rm weights on 3x3 and 1x3, then weeks 6-9 I use my 3 rep max.

I'm at week 2 right now and I'm loving it.

Ah the beautiful 5x5 program, it's one of my favorites and I revert back to it anytime I hit a plateau. Currently I lift 3 times a week 2 upper body and 1 lower body and then a day of sprints. I do my main lifts bench press one upper body day, squats lower body day, deads second upper body day like 8x3 and then 2-3 sets of 6 -8 for all the rest of my accompanying lifts. Its what my athletes are doing currently and we all love it lol.

i never like to schedule my workouts around a "weekly" period. and it also depends on what my goals are. If I am bulking I decrease frequency, if im cutting, I actually workout more often.
