I change it as needed. Right now, I'm training everything twice...that's right TWICE! I do 2-a-day splits and take naps between workouts. Most of the year though I hit everything once per week, except whatever my weak point is, which I'll hit either twice per week or 3x in two weeks. Everybody is different though, so don't base your strategy on someone elses recommendations. You have to try different routines and find the "sweet spot" that works best. I believe that if you don't occasionnaly overtrain, you'll never know where that threshold is. Every now and then I push harder and harder until I hit that overtraining crash...then I take a week off and get back in it.

Each part once a week but switch routine every 6-8 weeks.

Damn BStong, do you have a job? Lucky bastard.

I do two a days also, but the morning setion is cardio and abs and the night setion is my lifting. I do every body part once per week.

I don't start my new one until July, so right now I can train on pretty much an ideal schedule.
