    is it better to exercise each muscle group once a week (ie push/pull/legs type routine)

    or better for twice a week ie A B A, B A B type routine, this is in general for a natural builder

    If you're a very muscular lifter with years of training behind you, the former may suit you well.

    If you're anyone else, the latter is more likely a good fit.
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.
