Basically meaning that after 36 hrs of training a body part your going to be experiencing 'down time' if you don't train it again......

Most decent natural guys and anyone who is an experienced 'expert' in the nutrition/sports science arena will tell you the same..... This is not just my opinion, it's backed with a lot of data....


With training everything twice per week you would have to drop down the volume.... This makes it easier to recover from, gives you multiple growth phases per week and allows you to 'optimise' the muscle protein synthesis responds from training...
I dont agree mate, I personally think training once per week will be great for mass buliding if the sessions are intense enough. Ive transformed many natrual guys who always seem to overtrain by doing the whole body more than once. Each to their own but he needs to train many ways and find out which one his body responds best too. IMHO more is not better especially when natural
