Training twice a week through the traditional way of 2 muscle/day split will mostly likely result in over training. However, Upper/Lower splits or Full Body splits allows for 2-3 growth cycles/week while avoiding overtraining and results in maximum recovery. I am a strong believer of Upper/Lower splits and highly promote that to any natural bodybuilder. As it promotes a greater endocrine response that triggers a much greater release of hormones compared to that of the 2 muscle/day splits.
Personal results have been 10lb increase in lean bodyweight in 2.5 months.
My physique has gained greater thickness, size and strength.Last edited by slayer of souls; 03-21-06, 12:12 PM.

me personally from personal experience, i prefer working them out once in a week. Abs, calves, and forearms i train the most twice.
I had to learn the hard way before why i never grew, i was training twice a week. But now i grow like a weed once a week but alot too helps me.
