Hitting each muscle once a week is plenty... If you are lagging in one particular area.. then this can be trainined twice.. i.e one day heavy and the other light... .. In relation to whether a 3 day split of five day.. its totally up 2 u.. what works with your time table and life...

I recommend a 4 day split over a 6-8 day period....
I dont believe increasing training frequency helps you to bring up lagging bodyparts, it simply takes away from recovery ability IMO
I do not recommend High Volume training as the best option. I would much rather see you training High Intensity with low volume (similar to Dorian Yates)
Higher Volume Training can be implemented as a deload (ease off)....
You need to periodize your routine so that it consists of 3 main phases...
A Blasting Phase (This is were intensity will be at its highest, volume will e low but sets will be well beyond your natural failure...and will last for 4-6 weeks, progression each week is key)
A Deload Phase (This is where intensity will be dropped and sets will not be taken beyond failure, this will need to last between 2 and 4 weeks.... You will possibly get stronger in this period)
A Rest Phase (This is a short period where no training is to be undertaken, 1 week off and as much relaxing as possible)
Repeat...

baseline, i started the top article, (the layne norton power/hypertrophy split) and it was beast!!!!! thanks for the help finding it. the one thing i wanted to ask you was if i could adapt it alittle more to what i want, which is bigger arms through this bulk season. so do u think i could add a arm workout (bi's and tri's) on saturday or something?? ohh and i did upper body then lower instead of starting with lower????
