Well... your question is much more complex than that. Frequency depends on your stage of development, workout intensity, bodypart size, age, sex, ...Originally posted by iluvttokyo
i figured that, maybe i wordered the question wrong . would hitting the body parts twice a week be better while On. or you think once is enough. also while on should i increase the sets per body part or remain the same.
For example Quadriceps need more rest days than Calves. An 18 year old needs less rest days than a 40 year old. Men need less rest days than woman. A day of high intensity - heavy weight and/or short RI's (or no RI) would need more rest than a basic POF workout.
An advanced athlete will typically use a higher load volume and/or intensity... and need more days rest (depending again on the intensity) - the reason why upper/lower body splits are only effective for newbies - their load is minimal and less taxing to them physically and mentally. They can work bodyparts more frequently - and should.
When on AAS - the advanced trainee can continue heavy loads and high intensity with fast recovery - which leads to faster growth.
