I am always confused by this. I see some people that work body parts twice a week (like 3 days on and 1 day off) and people that do only one muscle per week. My goal is to gain weight, so I was wondering which way I would probably get the most of it.
I started the 5x5 routine from needsize that is one body part a week, but before I was working one muscle twice aweek and made some good gains. Will I gain more if only do one muscle a week?
thanks guys

I like once a week per body part. I have done a routine in the past where I will hit 1 body part twice a week and all others once.
ex.
1. chest/tri
2.back/bi
3.delts/traps
4.off
5.legs
6.chest/tri
7.off
starting the next week with delts/traps
This routine was ok but I prefer 1 body part a day 6 days a week routine I have been doing now.

I would have to say One body part per day, it really doesn't matter... I believe all you do in the long run from doubling up body parts is burn your body out, and strip you from lifting at your best when you work a specific BP.
Thats my take.

Once a week does it for me. That seems to be how I make my best gains when I'm trying to put on size. Plus, I go as heavy and hard as I can when I train, so I'm usually too sore to do the bodypart again until the following week!

I alternate periods of frequency...from once a week to once every 5 days...currently I am hitting each bp once every 5 days..this split seems to work well for me I am doing now.

Just my $.02 but if what you are already doing is giving you the results you want -- DONT Change it up. The whole point of mixing up routines is to shock your body into growing/getting stronger again.
IF IT ANI'T BROKE THEN DONT TRY TO FIX IT
