What's the boards consensus on volume and frequency? Do you prefer to work a bp more than once a week with less volume or one a week with greater volume?

I actually like to do both until I start to stagnate...I'll stick around 12-15 reps per set, per bodypart, 2X per week for a while until it seems like I'm not growing or getting any stronger. When that happens, I'll drop my reps, add weight, and drop down to 6-8 reps only once a week per bodypart. When I start to stagnate there, I go back to more reps twice a week.

I don't do this for any given amount of time, just until I feel that I've plateaued where I'm at. It always seems to keep me moving up bigger and heavier.

since i am a little older than most, i do one bp per session/week when i am building i pick a bp and do it twice a week and rotate this from week to week.
