Constantly? Or now and again? I think it's fine once in a while to bring up weak muscles and using different exercises for said muscle group.
Yep, exactly that.

When I am on cycle, my recovery is a tad better but normally I do same muscle groups twice in a 7-9 day window esp given my age (57). Back when I was 24, it was once every 6 days but now need more time to recoup

this is a very acceptable practice when "on". When "off" unless you are 18-22 ( and even then it can be iffy) I would only do it on for a short period of time.
From 17-22 I training split was 3 day on 1 day off,and looking back I was overtraining. It depends on your body and how hard you are training.

This is pretty much what I do. I need to get a little better with a full day of rest every 10 ir so days. I notice when ive gone many weeks of training hard and no rest i end up injured
Thats different brutha just like abs , I don't think you'll find anyone who says that's detrimental to growth. Larger muscles are different story

I'm going to try it out when I start getting ready for my next show in a few months. Six day that was posted here by someone.
Day 1: Chest, front and medial delts, tris
Day 2: Back, rear delts, bis
Day 3: Legs
Day 4: Same as Day 1
Day 5: Same as Day 2
Day 6: Legs
Day 7: Off
Cardio twice a day stairs on level 10 for 45min
I will be on a truckload of gear and ramped up like a jackrabbit on meth so I will see how long I can handle it.

I have been doing 4x30 the last few weeks and there is no way I could do each muscle 2x a week. I have not been this sore in years. LOVE IT!!

Not constantly, only on cycle and only a few times during that cycle.

you really think your bicep needs a whole week to recover ? do your curl 400 pounds for reps and do 30 sets ,, do you cause that much homeostatic stress to that one muscle that it really needs a whole week to recover ??
highly unlikely . look the reason the whole "one body part per week" idea really got started was because big bad mother fuckers that bench press 500+ pounds for reps set after set after set really did need a whole week off to recover their chest from that type of load .. but all you average guys like me that bench 315 we do not cause that much homeostatic stress and really do not need that whole week of recovery ,, we will be ready to hit chest again in a couple days. (but again if your a 290 pound monster benching 500 , go ahead and take that one body part per week approach cause you need it)
There is no way your chest is ready to go again in a “couple days” if your training proper, now 5 days, sure, at 5 days, I can see any muscle group being ready again! And im speaking in terms of the average guy and the freak benching cars lol.
