It depends on the intensity

To get them to grow you need to break down the muscle, feed them and let them recover. If you're not allowing them to recover they won't grow. If you don't stimulate them to break down the muscle they won't grow, if you don't feed them they won't grow.
So figure out how long they take to recover to figure out your split.
The less intensity the more per week you can train. The more intense the less you can work them out per week.

Simple stuff ^^^ and good reminder. I spend too much time passive recovering rather than actively doing so.

Been a little bit since this was posted on. Been getting after the last two weeks here. We are now just about 2 months out from the big day! The fiance has been doing 9week Beach Body Extreme (I botched the exact name, but its close haha) at home which she has been kicking butt with! Had to mount some equipment for her, but other then that she has been fully motivated all on her own which is great. On my end the updates aren't as major - workouts are consistent with my usual and have been averaging around 6 days a week in the gym. Calorie intake is slowly dwindling, probably sitting around 180-185ish. Looking pretty mean, goal might be 175lb pre wedding.

Hope everyone else has been keeping up with their goals!

I was 192 at New Years. Now 169 and been ‘bulking’ for a month. Great balance as I’ve maintained weight but dropping BF per my wayze scale. I only use that for relative comparison. Not real results.

I’m in a 3 day split with high volume supersets and higher calorie load. They wipe me out and had to increase calories. But staying lean. Very pleased.

Bulking and losing weight?

Need more info haha. 192 at new years, so many he dropped below 169 at the beginning of March and has been bulking since. Regardless, a solid bit of weight loss in a short period. Nice job man!

Haha. Yes. Went from 192 to 169. Now I’m reverse dieting to increase calories slowly to not gain fat but gain muscle and strength. Bulking isn’t really the best term
