Is the "Exercise each muscle at most twice a week"

Bump because I'm curious for info

That rule only counts for compounds you moron.

For accessories you can do them as much as you like

Moron here, explain further?

>>41724340
What about rest

That makes two of you. It depends entirely on your ability to recover as well as the particular movement and how heavy you go. Elite weightlifters can c&j and snatch heavy every single day. By contrast most people can only max out on deadlift about once per month.

This book is quite good.
Shows you can exercise muscle groups very frequently if you keep volume at sensible levels.

I've never heard that rule before. Obviously if you work a muscle more often it will give you better results

3x a week is more like it

Could I do like 5 sets a day of biceps and see results? My biceps are lagging a lot.

Frequency + recovery = muscle size. Legs usually takes longer to recover than delts.

>>41724984
Yes you can and should

>>41724292
Let's be honest here...

The maximum recovery and growth period is roughly 72 hours. If you ask any pro bodybuilder about how to improve a body part, they don't say "do this lift " or " eat this". They tell you to hit that body part more often. Because increasing the amounts of growth periods and not just hitting it harder is key.

Scwartzennegar hit each body part 2 or 3 times per week while using like a fourth of the amount of sterons they use today and his coconuts were still jumungous.

Use supplements and sterons to increase the amount of times you can hit a body part and recover (aka: grow). Don't use them as magic potions that make you huge by working each muscle only once per week.

>>41724292
yes

That makes three of you.

Deadlifts are much harder to recover from than the olympic lifts (any of the powerlifts are, because they are inherently loaded more heavily and tend to be grinders that can last a few seconds), it has nothing to do with elite WLers

those same elite WLers can't max out on deadlifts often either (see clarence0, he has a hard time recovering from weekly pulling)

>max out on deadlift once per month
Fake and gay

>>41724292
There is opinion that small muscles can handle more volume. So you can work delts, rear delts, neck, biceps, triceps, calves every workout, 3-4 times per week.

>>41724292
And soon they're gonna literally explode in a sense that you'll tear a muscle.

>Is the "Exercise each muscle at most twice a week" the biggest meme ever?
Yes. Do a full-body routine 3 times a week.
