I am curious-how do you particularly figure out the optimal frequency for you to train a bodypart? Do you train on a weekly cycle by convention or convenience or have you ever tried 5 or 6 days, or 8 or 9 for that matter?
Thanks for the responses.

I can only describe my training as training by feel. I am about to do legs tonight. I didn’t know I was going to do legs until about 30 minutes ago after mentally running through each body part I usually train and determining how it felt, whether I felt any soreness at all, or if I felt generally fatigued. My biceps still hurt from yesterday’s back training, my shoulders just got trained the day before yesterday, and while I would love to hit chest and show off how much weight I can do, it just feels like a leg day. I am about to go to the gym right now.
woah a 4 year bump, I think that’s a new record lol
Damn, that was painful to read through.
X- you feeling nostalgic tonight or what?
After reading these bumpity-bump-bumps, one thing is for sure:

Hi everyone
Ive tried training full body routines vs a bodypart a day training and seem to get much better hypertrophy from a bodypart a day training.When i seem to do the full body training programs eg-tbt and QD i get a hell of a lot stronger but end up with fuckin colds and not much muscle size 
so since strengh is not really a priority of mine im sticking with a bodypart a day routine i have been doing.Does anybody else find the same thing ?
Peace

Although there is a first time for everything…
I have never seen a lifter get stronger; without getting larger for any length of time( a couple of months doesn’t mean a thing when true progress is measured over years). Conversely I have never seen a lifter get bigger without getting stronger. Like Mary and her lamb…where strength will go, size is sure to follow!

You know, I think these people are either repeating bs they’ve read in articles somewhere, or their “great strength gains” are basically +5 or 10 lbs on the big 3 (because the full-body template tells them to add weight every week or so, otherwise they’d just stay at the same weight out of ignorance) over a few weeks…
And then they gain no strength on a split because they automatically assume that split means ultra-high volume…
So they do like 5 exercises, 5 straight sets each and obviously won’t be able to improve… But get huge pumps and some swelling/irritation of the muscle afterwards and hence got “great size gains” lol
