    Hey guys, just wanted some feedback on your opinions of the pros and cons on once a week, or twice a week exercising the same muscle group. I really wanna maximize the gains as much as possible, and naturally recover from workouts quick. Which would you recommend and why?

    be sure to take something like cissus! your muscles might recover quickly, but your tendons probably wont

    I like to train the major muscle groups twice a week, but I have to take Cissus and a high dose of Omega's to keep the tendonitis from haunting me

    i'm hitting everything twice a week now, usually with one heavy day and one light volume day

    little bit of shoulder work on chest day, little bit of chest work on shoulder day, arms twice a week, little back work all around

    on cycle you should be able to handle it if you eat sufficiently and get plenty of rest

    Thanks for the responses, yeah diets on track, and I'm prepared for a little joint ache. good call with the tendonitis, I'm usually so absorbed in muscle recovery that I forget about my body being fully functional and preventitive maintenance on other areas a lot of folks tend not to focus on while training. Love getting feedback from this forum, because things I usually wouldn't think about get brought to light. Thanks again guys, great responses

    The whole idea of once a week with long recovery time is based on natural and ample time for muscle repair. Anabolics change the whole game. With protein and carb intake high you could het each group 3 or 4 times a week and hit them hard and have better recovery than natural giving 6 days off. Dont waist potential of anabolics for long recovery time, you would be damageing your body and not takeing advantage

    I train 4 days/wk. I do squat, bench, ohp, and deads. With each compound exercises I add in about 4 assistance exercises with 3-4 sets and 8-10 reps. So far, my body has been responding nicely. Even though I'm on a cycle, I still get sore the next day. With that being said, hit the weights hard each time you train. Also, you might need to deload every now and then for better recovery and to bust through plateaus.

    There has been a great deal of study and opinions on this particular subject, but I feel that it really does depend and vary on each individual person.
    I use the twice a week regiment. One heavy one light. Good diet, much rest and if course a lil "help". Lol

    THIS. Shoulders killed me so I had to have 2-3 days between chest/shoulder day AND a couple days recovery for those days starting at about week 3 into my cycle.
