Interested to hear from those of you who employ a high frequency training model e.g. each muscle group twice per week. Aside from an opinion on the efficacy of it, I'm interested in how you structure your split, what sort of % effort you think is required given the reliance on volume as opposed to intensity, set/rep scheme per muscle group and how long each workout takes you, and any other relevant information. I should mention this is in the context of bodybuilding not powerlifting but please chime in as both are relevant, but I am assuming a considerable amount of what PLers would consider 'accessory work'.
I've traditionally been an advocate of high intensity once per week split, while the research advocating higher frequency training makes sense to me, a large part of the problem with that style seems to be the time factor e.g. in order to fit twice as many sessions per muscle group into a week the volume per muscle per workout would have to drop by approximately 50%. I find it hard to accept that 50% of the stimulus twice as often is more effective, especially on larger muscle groups like back, quads etc. Those of you that do it successfully - share your plan of attack.
