i tried the once per week thing for a long time and i grew ok, but my legs still lagged... when i switched to 2x/week it made a HUGE difference... HUGE.

please re-read what i wrote earlier. I made much better gains on 2x/week so no.

i'm actually training legs 3x per week, super high volume... and i'm not encountering overtraining.

overtraining is the boogeyman... hell scientists can't even decide whether or not it exists, yet all these pseudo-scientists who write for random websites just accept it as fact

that's the one downside to more frequency... it's tough to get as psyched for each workout... but if you really want it bad enough... you find a way :)

depends on person to person i think. diffrent people respond diffrent ways to diffrent training methods. Laynes legs may recover alot faster and therefore respond better to training legs 2- 3x per week as mine need at least 5-6 full days of rest before i hit them again

how are you judging your recovery? soreness? because that is a terrible indicator of recovery
