hypertrophy goal program


on a program where hypertrophy is the goal (ie. less weight more reps program as opposed to high weight low reps program) is it still advised only working out each body part once per week?? Or should you work each part twice per week? What is the type of program you would use to maximize muscle growth, not strength?

Can I still do each part once per week and maybe increase volume, or add extra days for each part? Right now I am coming off a max-ot type program, so I wanted to know what I need to do different to maximize muscle growth

thanks again

aslong as your not going to failure, you could do twice a week quite succesforly.

everyone is different, give both a try and see what works for you.

Look into the HIT method, perhaps. It's pretty intense but the volume is low and so is the frequency. It was designed and refined with bodybuilding/hypertrophy in mind.
