help on training schedule

[kish]

I train every body part once in a week, but last year I trained my arms 2 times per week for 2 months. At that time, my arm size was stock for a long time, but I gained an inch. I'm thinking about doing every body part 2 times per week. (if it worked for my arms maybe it will work on other parts too)
I know almost everyone trains body parts once per week. May be some people should train more to see effects.
Is that right? and should I train twice?

you can give it a try for a month and see how you feel. take your measurements now and then again in a month.

Could you post what your double workout would look like? Just interested in how you would set it up.

I'm going to begin it next month. This month I 'll do body parts once but with 6-7 reps. I've been training 10-12 reps in this recent 6 months, so 6-7 may help. and if I see no results after 4 weeks I will switch to twice per week.
I think it's better to test 6-7 reps first and if not satisfied then switch to twice per wek shedule.
How do you like it?
thanks for your help

Some of my muscle groups only respond to extreme measures like super high reps or twice a week training. ( things often referred to as over training)It may work for you on certain body parts and not others that's how it is for me. Just make sure your diet is on.

thanks. it's good to see there are others that need over training on some parts.
my arm routine is:
biceps:
------------------
incline dumbell curls 4x6-7
barbell curls 4x6-7
cable curls 4x6-7
------------------
+
triceps:
------------------
french 4x6-7
lieing barbell 4x6-7
cable pull down 4x6-7

dont get focused on "needing to over train". it may not work for you. this is whay i said do it for a month and see. all about experimentation.

:) yes you are right. thanks. I will go on with this routine for 1 month as you said and see what will happen.

Don't forget that I am old and my muscles have seen almost every kind of shock treatment there is to be had over the last 20 or so years of working out. I would not stick with anything more than 8 weeks or so just to prevent adaptation. This also allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of any training method.
