Well I criticized the once a week typical bodybuilding split and the lack of conditioning it's part of it, you may question it but some of the best bodybuilders come from powerlifting (Ronnie Coleman, Johnny Jackson, Victor Martinez oh and in case someone was wondering so did Arnold). All to say that by working on your GPP you too can enjoy working the same muscle more than just once a week and grow even more, don't restrain yourself and keep an open mind as I do on working out barefoot squats .

i understand the concept and use it because the change up is good but i still bennefit more from the once per wk. these names you mentioned are all top level competitors so i would guess that their body will recover better and faster than ours. in the beginning i worked each body part 2 times per wk all the time and grew fast once i learned how to live right but after a while i started losing size and stregnth every time i trained that much. its because i wasnt recovering fast enough any more. so now the only way i can do it is by limiting my break down. only push so far into the pump. its not the most effective for me. my research shows the reason to be that the bigger you get the longer recovery time you need. this works on an individual basis but in bb'ing not power lifting this theory suits the majority.
