Height: 5,9 Weight: 165 lbs Rep Power: 1453   | Optimal Growth Hi, Ive got my Diet right now and thats 3500 cals. My routine is confusing me. Im unsure on how many times to train each muscle etc chest. People say train it everyday, some people say 3 times a week etc.. Ive got a book and it says training it less makes it grow more, Is training each muscle group once a week really enough for optimal growth? Thanks |

But to build Optimal muscle 1 X every 5 days is plenty. Some people go heavy light which I feel is a waste. IMO Congrats though you now own the Teen Forum page = 18 of the 20 posts!!   ress:
