I was at the seminar, I thought you might have made the event. I have a question about training it seems you have a busy schedule like me, you train 3x per wk or every other day, it works great I have been training like you, but they were talking at the seminar saying train bodyparts more often to get the muscle more dense, do you think it is wise or if you just have enough of time to do it that way??

RIZ - I did not get to the seminar, but several of us; fitdoc, myself and a few others have transitioned to a three days/week training program with a minimum of one day off between workout days. I have not heard anything but positive comments from those of us who have transitioned to this schedule.

I can tell you that I have not lost any strength, have not gained any bf and seem to be making decent gains on this routine, so I'm pleased with it especially since I have now gained more time in my weekly schedule. It might not work for everyone, but so far it has for me. I would suggest giving it a try for a few months to see how your body responds to it.

Riz,

There are a variety of training methods to increase muscle mass. I've had success with a 5x per week regimen as well as my current 3x per week schedule.

In my experience, training 3x per week with a day of rest between sessions has worked very well. Among other things, i find i have less opportunity for injury (training less number of days) and more recovery time. Given all aspects of training, 3x per week is best for me.

By the way, i intended to drive down to the seminar, but other obligations precluded my trip.

In all thy getting, get understanding

I do three days a week also. One option you can always to if you have a lagging bodypart or just feel bored is add an additional day ( if you train M/W/F) saturday is perfect for whatever you trained on W. Nothing with a lot of volume, just get a pump and get out ~20 min workout. Overtime I think you will find you will add Density and Shape, depending upon dietary intake of course. Anyway, just a thought...
