How many times a week do you hit a given muscle?

[LSUtiger]

[american dream]

1 time for every muscle, unless it is lagging

[Vennom96]

1 time each week

1 time a week for core muscles ie..chest, bi's, tri's, back, shoulders, legs etc. Muscle groups that you can work out every other day are abs, calves and forearms. These muscle groups tend heal and go away fater than the core muscle groups.

Make sure you work your core muscles pretty hard to keep them sore for a week. You dont want to work out a muscle that is still sore. If you have been going to the gym regurally for 6 months plus then you might be able to get away with doing core muscles twice a week due to that mucle healing faster and is no longer sore. But remember letting the muscle heal is as important as working them out. If you keep tearing the muscle (lifting weights) it never has time to heal and get bigger.

How many times a week do you hit a given muscle?

If you have a lagging body part, you can hit it with a set or two a few days after the normal training for that body part. I will hit a set or two for delts on chest day, which is a couple days after my regular delt day. This results in my regular shoulder day hitting it heavy and then getting a little extra blood flow a few days later with a light set or two. I just started this a month ago and have noticed a difference.

once every 6-8 days, depending on my schedule...

About twice a week regardless of whether on steroids or not. Do some reading on the DC site or the HST site. Once a week per muscle group is an inferior way to train.
