Okay /fit/ I have a question that deserves its own thread.
There are a couple of things I'm basing this on:
>natural lifters have a limited capacity for recovery within a specific time period
>higher frequency training can benefit muscle growth more than low frequency training as long as you have enough recovery time.
If this is true, could you periodize specific exercise frequency in a program to train one muscle more frequently and then increase frequency after about a month of that and increase frequency on something else

Maybe an example could help. Given a simple program that just uses the big 6 compound movements.
X
Squat, Ohp, Pullup
X
Deadlift, Bench, Row
X
Squat, Ohp, Pullup
X
And say you want to increase frequency for chest growth.
X
Bench, Squat, Ohp, Pullup
X
Deadlift, Bench, Row, Bench accessory
X
Bench, Squat, Ohp, Pullup
X
And after three or four weeks of that you could switch to another focus
X
Row, Squat, Ohp, Pullup
X
Deadlift, Row, Bench, Row accessory
X
Row, Squat, Ohp, Pullup
X

I have no idea wtf you're talking about. You sound like someone who overthinks and underlifts.
Pick a decent routine and go get strong/swole

ofcourse you can shift the focus to specifically improve in one exercise, powerlifters do it all the time. at a certain level it is rare to improve all 3 of the big lifts at once. usually only 1-2 of them go up and the 3rd will stall on any given program.
that being said as a novice lifter there is no point in doing this because this is a time in your lifting career where you can constantly improve all your lifts and dont need special focus or an increase in volume to do so.
So in essence lift heavy, put in the work and once you can rep 1/2/3/4 pl8 for 5 reps or so you can think about more complex programming.

Yes.
Look up dr. Mike israetels interview on iraki nutrition about training frequency.
This should answer your query fully
Tl;dw: smaller muscles like delts and forearms 4x a week. Big muscles like quads and glutes 2x. You can do more but not above a given intensity threshhold
Grills and novices can train more than advanced lifters because they are putting less of a stress on their body lifting babyweight, so leas recovery is needed.

This guy here.
If you are novice listen to
>>41521103
And do your 6-8 months of 3x5's and get to intermediate before fucking with this.
Can someone post the webm of some kid in a college gym deadlifting with awful form?
>>41520105
as other anons have said. this is literally what powerlifters/actual athletes do all the time. Mike israetels and JTS have loads of info on this

>this is how ignorant regular /fit/ users are to training methodology
theres no point browsing this board outside /plg/ or /owg/. theyre all idiots
>>41521171
That is because 90% of the posters are summerfags (regardless of season) who have only given a fuck about fitness for a couple months

even the ones whove been lifting for years still dont know what theyre talking about. look on /routine general/. none of them have a clue about periodisation/training cycles, exercise selection, fatigue management etc. most of them dont even seem to understand progressive overload
