over-training much?

[MACHINE5150]

i have this same question, i have been told to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, working out each muscle group once a week, but then i looked up Schwarzeneggers routine and he worked each muscle group out two or three times a week, i know he is a pro bb but i still would like to know how far until overtraining, i feel once a week per muscle group is light, but i am not the expert

you would only do it twice a week if you do a light day one day and a heavy another day.. never do two heavy days the same week..

Its generally better to consistently under-train than ever over-train. Look into Dorian Yates approach to bodybuilding, he seems to have a mid-ground between pure HIT and volume that a lot of people get good results from.
