No such thing as most effective, different programs work well for different people. SOme people respond well two meat and potato once a week per bodypart, others need training less intense but more often like DC or HST. Try different stuff out and see what works for you.

I'd have to say for me...I train everything once a week except calves twice and abs twice. I train in the 5-10 rep range normally, sometimes 3-5 on large compound lifts. do anywhere between 8-16 sets per bodypart and train each working set to failure.

I agree, as I am sure many on this site will. Stick to the basics, and stay consistant. If you are hitting the gym, balls to the wall several times a week in a structured program, you will progress.

Go hard, then go home. Rest and eat.

You will grow.

In short, you take one muscle group and perform 5 sets of 5 reps heavy and balls to the wall, then you do auxillary lifts, 2 sets of 10-12 reps.

Periodization works for me. I have made steady gains on it - nothing earthshatteringly spectacular, but as a vegetarian and natty, I am constantly diet-challenged and I think am doing quite satisfactorily for my goals.

I found Barry Merriman's periodization approach useful and follow it for the most part.
