Each body part, once a week... enough?

[NickSCFC2000]

My current workout is like this...

Monday - Back and Biceps
Weds - Chest and Triceps
Fri - Shoulders and Legs
Sat (at home) - Biceps

I usually do 4 exercises per body part at the gym, 4 sets at arounds 10 reps, sometimes with drop sets. Also I now do biceps twice a week as they're skinny as **** (from an old forearms injury and not being able to do curls for a year).

But is once a week enough?

short answer: yes

stop doing biceps on saturday, more is not better.

Sound advice! Remember that traps,abs & biceps are small muscles and are very easy to overwork!

Don't most pple work the abs usually 3x per week?

I do mine every day for MMA but if you wanna gain bigger abs you should work them out once a week, low reps heavy weights
