Spot on answer. At 52 now, once a week is all I can handle.

Once a week is plenty......the key is rest and recovery.

I like full body workouts, three times a week. Keeps me a lot fresher and stronger then the typical body split routines. Furthermore, it sheds some extra fat. Always welcome for me
