Its worth a try bodybuilding is trail and error. Mike Mentzer train a bb named Markus Reinhardt he'd train once every 6-8 days. The routine he followed looked like this.

Chest/Back

6-8 days rest

Legs

6-8 days rest

Shoulders/Arms

6-8 days rest

With this program its near imposible to overtrain but it must be hard staying out of the gym like that. This is similiar to a HIT routine but alot less.

Well let us clear few myths.

1st myth) You need a complete recovery from your last session to train that bodypart again.

FALSE: You can train a bodypart even three days in a row, all you have to do is tone down the intensity on day 2/day 3.

Infact rather than waiting for a week for your bodypart to recover, wait a few days and have a light workout. By training bodypart more often you dont forget about the weight and your body is kept stimulated.


Problem with waiting for a full recovery is this. Your systems dont recover at the same speed. Meaning that your chest might be recovered but your nervous system aint. So by waiting for your nervous system to catch up, your chest muscles might start to deteriorate (very slightly but enough to not produce max gains).


As one cool expert said (Pavel tsaotsaline)
"
There is a belief that you have no business coming back to the gym until you can better yourself. You must have complete recovery, they say. This is totally ridiculous. This is called distributed loading and it’s something that’s fine for beginners, perhaps for intermediate athletes, but not for advanced athletes. The alternative is concentrated loading. You build up the fatigue then you back off and taper.

For example, the Russian national powerlifting team is benching up to eight times a week. Obviously, they do not completely recover, but they build up the volume and the fatigue, then have some unloading workouts, high volume, low volume, high intensity, low intensity, then medium etc. There is such a thing as continuity in your training. As long as you keep stimulating the nervous system with the stimulus, even if your body is not totally recovered, you’re going to make much better gains. Once in a while go easy, once in a while go hard… this is where instinctive training comes in.

Some pseudo-scientific authorities make fun of bodybuilders who train instinctively. But sometimes it really does make sense. Today you may be able to do five sets of five in the bench. Tomorrow you can come back and do three triples with the same weight. You’re not totally recovered, but you’re greasing the same groove in the nervous system. Then maybe you can bench again the third day, really beat it up, and then take two days off. That’s something to consider.

wow interesting replies guys thanks for that..I have to say my normal 4 times at the gym doing different part each time has left me lethargic and unable to lift but i do notice that when i am off i am always able to come back fitter and stronger, so I think i will drop it to weights twice a week or less, and increase the amount of cardio instead..will let you know my results
