Uit een artikel van lyle mcdonald wat gaat over de verschillende trainings routines en frequenties:
Blast Every Muscle Group Once Per Week
This idea, that seems to have primarily developed as steroids started to enter the picture, that a muscle group should be blasted into oblivion once per week and then allowed to rest before training again. Many critics of higher frequency training will point to successful elite (read: drug using) bodybuilders who train that way.
Typically in this approach, one or perhaps two muscle groups would be chosen for a single workout with a fairly large volume of training (often 15-20 sets of 3-4 different exercises) performed for each. Hitting all of the angles. generally the body is split across 4 or more workouts which each muscle group getting blasted once every 7 days.
Now, there is no denying that this approach seems to work at the elite level of bodybuilding. However, there are often a lot of other factors involved that people tend to ignore. The main one, of course, is drugs especially steroids (it’s no coincidence that this approach to training developed primarily as steroid use was starting to increase among bodybuilders).
Basically, looking at the elite level of any sport and how they train after 15 years of training is usually a losing proposition, what they might be doing at the peak of their career and what they did to get there are often very different things indeed.
But of perhaps more relevance, outside of a small percentage of folks, I simply haven’t seen the majority of natural trainees grow optimally training in this fashion. Basically, it just doesn’t work for the majority in my experience. (and in the experience of a lot of coaches I know).
Sure, we can always look at the ‘big guys’ in the gym who are doing fine hitting everything once per week but the fact is that the majority of folks training that way aren’t usually growing optimal.
As well, for naturals, the lower frequency of training tends to lead people to do far too much volume at any given workout. As I mentioned above, there appears to be an optimal volume of training for each bodypart with both too little and too much volume being a problem. Naturals who do endless sets in a given workout (which is not only allowed but usually mandated by low frequency training) not only aren’t stimulating better growth, they end up cutting into their recovery with excessive volume.
A possible reason to mention such training routine (in a sarcastic way) would be for people who are addicted to being sore or exhausted from training. At least one of the reasons that I think people stick with low frequency training in the absence of good results is that they always get to walk out of the gym feeling like they have completely exhausted a given muscle group.
As well, low frequency training tends to get people sore more consistently than a higher training frequency. People who are more concerned with acute exhaustion or crippling soreness rather than actual progress may want to just keep on doing what they are doing….like I said, just a bit sarcastic.
while it’s still common to emulate the training pattern of elite (read: drug using) bodybuilders and bomb and blast everything once per week, my experience (and that of many others) is simply that the majority of natural trainees (and even many drug users) simply don’t get optimal growth that way.

Dit is niet alleen de observatie van lyle mcdonald (die tientallen jaren atleten begeleid heeft). Maar ik heb dit ook gelezen bij vele andere trainers die zich gespecialiseerd hebben in naturel bodybuilding.
Ikzelf heb ook gemerkt dat ik veel betere gains maak op andere routines als bij een split waar ik elke spiergroep 1x per week aanpak.
Dit staat haaks op hetgeen jij propageerd. jij stelde dat:
Wij gaan er dus vanuit dat je als je serieus aan bodybuilding doet de spieren dusdanig aanpakt dat er ook behoorlijke schade is en je de spier maximaal 1x per week KAN trainen.
Ik zeg niet dat een bepaalde andere routine beter is. en dat een spiergroep 1x per week trainen nooit kan werken. maar het is wel zo dat er ook mensen zijn die wel serieus met bodybuilding bezig zijn, die hier minder goed op reageren. En mijn punt is dus dat jouw stelling niet overeenkomt met de realiteit.

Helemaal als we gaan kijken naar de gemiddelde trainee op dit forum (die de informatie uit dit topic gebruikt).
dit zijn:
- merendeels mensen die naturel zijn.
- mensen die nog niet vele jaren ervaring hebben om uberhaupt in staat te zijn om op extreem hoge intensiteit te trainen.
- mensen die zowel fullbody als UB/LB als push/pull als één spiergroep per training als routine hebben.
