    I try to lift 5-6 days a week. But my limit is 3 days in a row, in-order to get some recovery time in.

    5 days/week. Brief, but intense.

    I protest that there was no 4.5 option. I do a modified bro split (PPL) with a two on / one off cycle. So P, P, Off, L, P, Off, P, L, Off etc.

    I recently switched from 3 to 4, repeating one body part per week. So my weeks look like:

    Push-Pull-Legs-Push
    Pull-Legs-Push-Pull
    Legs-Push-Pull-Legs

    Just finished the double-legs week, and wow, noticeable difference in how they feel compared to doing them just once per week!

    I put 2. I also train BJJ/MMA 2-3 times a week and when those days take a lot out of me I end up just doing a cardio workout at the gym when I really want to be lifting. I know I am resolved to get more lifting in. The last few BJJ comps I have been in, I have faced some very physically strong opponents. I want to maximize my strength/weight ratio for this reason. Almost more of a body recomp plan versus bulking up.

    6-7. Sometimes 2 a-days, depends on what I am lacking. Abs and Calves usually on second workout.
