Rest

You can hit them as often as you want provided you program your training correctly. For example, I'm currently squatting 3x a week but soon will be up to squatting 4x a week. My progression scheme will have to change and I'll need to include an active recovery day but there's no way I'll ever squat less than twice a week....barring an injury of course

But Doc, aren't you doing something like a volume day, a light day and an intensity day? In other words, you aren't doing like 5X5 at 90%+ of your 5RM for all 3 or 4 days?

I'm not doing a 5x5 currently but have in the past. You're point is accurate though, right now I'm experimenting with seeing how far I can take LP with anabolics. One way of orogramming is a volume day, intensity day, and recovery day but you're still training the lift, the body part, the CNS, etc multiple times per week.

There are other more sadistic methods out there also. Look at the success of Oly lifters, GVT, Bulgarian training, Sheiko, etc and how many of them squat up to 6-7days per week and sometimes they squat multiple times per day. It's all about accommodating the workload, increasing conditioning, etc.
