    yes i train each group twice a week. one day is max effort, and the second day (3-4 days later) is volume

    I do this same thing as well, although it's not max effort, it's 3 rep "max" effort and progressive overload built in so there is increase every week.

    Yep. A power day and a hypertrophy day for each.

    for me its 1-3 rep depending on the lift. but yeah, its some kinda max lift. westside conjugate.

    Depends on the exact training cycle how frequently each muscle group gets hit. Current training cycle is all 4 or 5 times a week. It's by far the most brutal training cycle I've had all year. The peaking cycle coming after this is going to be worse. But then I taper, and compete. And then I relax and play for a few weeks before starting to peak for nationals at the end of February.

    2 days a week minimum here, with most being 2 or 3 days, and glutes hitting 4x :grin: I take my rest days randomly among the 3x a week or glutes. I very rarely really lift every day, even though they are broken down into short chunks all week long.

    I do have certain lifts I only do 1x a week, because I have parts that seriously need a week of rest from that lift (I have a chronic problem). The other day or 2 are easier on that part while still hitting it.

    I squat 3/week, bench 4/week, deadlift 2/week, and accessory volume is such that I'm also pulling vertically and horizontally, direct arm work, unilateral leg work, etc.

    It works out to about 3/week frequency when you look at it in terms of muscle groups but I look at it in terms of movements since I'm training primarily for performance in those movements.

    2-3x per week based off current programming, 3-4x a week on some other programming.
