come on ppl vote i want to know if i should swith from 2 to 1 bodyparts per week lets c which works better

 

[Sniperwolf]

Rather than worrying about what works well for other people just switch to one body part per week and see what happens. If you don't like the results change back. 99% of the people here might say that working out each bodypart twice a week is best but that doesn't mean that you aren't going to get good results from working out each body part once per week.

It depends on what level you are at....

If you happen to be a guy whose arms are barely 14 inches..... you had better get you ass to the gym at least three times a week.... the good old MON, WED & FRI thing.
If you have pipes that are 16 and up then I consider you an intermediate and then you would show up at the gym four times a week..... working each body part only twice per week..... this is an example of what I mean....

MON & THUR: Legs, Back, Bicpes and Forearms

TUES & FRI: Calves, Chest, Shoulders and Triceps

Abs can be worked anytime and shoud be to strengthen you midsection and they can be couple with hyperextensions as well.

I'm a textbook hardgainer.

Once a week gives me much better gains in strength.

I train larger muscle groups 1xwk,smaller twice.

Unless you train with such ferocious intensity that you need 7 days to recoup each bodypart, I would say hit em twice. With a decently heavy routine, your muscle groups will recoup in 3-4 days, and if only hit once per week, you have a couple of days when they are fully recovered and not being worked out.
