How many times a week do you guys recommend doing chest

[thelegacy]

I usually work chest twice a week on Monday and Thursday, but sometimes I dont feel pumped if i do it twice a week so sometimes I'll work it three days a week and on the third day i will work it light---any suggestions I have heard a hundred things so i just listen to what my body tells me.

(if your intense enough)

If I can add to this, How many people only work 1 body part per week?

 

[Krusher]

I directly train each bodypart once per week.

The fact that you are able to train it a couple of days later means that you are not training hard enough.

1 time intensely, followed by 6 days of growth/recovery. I work every bodypart 1x per week except for abs (2x).

Thelegacy If I can add my .02 I say you are over training and 3 times a week is uncalled for Id go with 1 time a week maybe 2 times .Are you working out your hole body or just chest and arms?

1 x a week for me

 

[MUSTANG_18]

I blast all my body parts to failure once a week and take Saturday and Sunday to rest, it seems to work pretty good for me for me. I do train abs 2-3 times a week though.

If you're training with optimal intensity once per week should be all it can take. I personally train one muscle group per day/every muscle group once a week. Anymore I feel is overtraining. If you hit chest hard enough it should take 6-7 days to recover unless you're a genetic mutant...most arn't and most take a full week to fully recover. 3 times a week is gross overtraining regardless of who you are and twice is overtraining for the majority.
