once a week frequency not enough for chest for me?

[athlete0185]

well it seems apparent that my chest weights are moving up as much as i would like them. all my other weights i dont normally have a problem with. i recover pretty well and quickly from soreness, so it seems like i am in 5 days of anabolic activity for my chest and its ready to train again, but i have to wait those 2 extra days. what should i do? go a heavy day then a light day 4 days later to stimulate the muscles? how can i incorporate it into this routine?

mon legs
tues chest and bis
wed off
thurs back and tris
fri off
sat off
sun shoulders

as long as you keep moving up in weight why would you change anything?

EWWW AHHHHH I wish I could take you and mold you and show you how to train with much greater results. You must be a volume trainer by the sounds of it. Consider this if you are training chest only once every 5 to 7 days you are only getting 52-62 growth phases a year basically the most you can gain in 1 year is 1 inch. If you ask me thats not maximizing your fullest potential. Especially when you could be realistically putting on 2-2.5 inches a year with more growth phases. Though it is a hard task from turning a volume trainer over to low volume high intensity trainer. Its like tryn to get a lesbian to try and sleep with you doesnt happen too often lol.

Something to consider - stop trying to make your scheduele fit on a weekly calendar. I don't know why so many people tie themselvse to having a 7 day cycle.

I have a 4 day cycle. Don't care what day it is, if it's chest/tri/forarm/ab day, doesn't matter if it's Monday or Saturday, I'm going to do my chest/tri/forarm/ab routine.

make a training schedule that fits your own recovery time, I work on a 6 day schedule cause my body can optimally heal then and progress, if yours is more or less change to that pattern

What about high volume/high intensity? Some people say they cant handle it though. But I think maybe they underestimate themselves. The body can take some abuse.
