Even when using weights (as opposed to elastic resistance), there's

not universal agreement.

The usual " Monday-Wednesday-Friday " sort of regimen is a decent,

easy-to-remember, easy-to-schedule program, but it's not necessarily

" the " best system for everyone.

People that advocate " High Intensity Training " tend to claim that two

days per week is plenty, and those that push the " Super Slow " version

say that one day per week may be all one can stand.

At the other extreme, the " Power to the People " program favors working

the same muscles 4-5 times per week, possibly varying reps, sets, and

poundage slightly.
