If you are natural, you will burn out quickly on 2X a day for the same body part.

I switched to once a week whole body  and have never been stronger. But a research article I read recently said that individual recovery rates from intense exercise vary from full recovery in 2 days to full recovery in 10 days! So what works for one guy probably doesn't work for another. That is the true genetic component of exercise.

do 1,000 pushups 3x a day

training legs if for those with no symmetry

Science says training body parts twice a week is better than once a week for building big body muscles and strength.

So if you do chest Monday morning, do chest again on Thursday evening. Maybe do different chest exercises or change the intensity on the Thursday evening chest workout.

Ronnie Coleman trained body parts twice a week, and look at him, the behemoth.

I was doing 2x this last year and loved it, I Stopped for a 2 months and looking to go at it again. I live walking distance to a gym (not my main gym - its a crowded LA Fitness but no excuse not too)

Did double splits for a while back in 02/03... The 2nd workout always suffered. For instance chest in the morning or during the day and triceps your shoulders are both later on in the evening, or back during The day, biceps at night, quads am hams pm... I would always be sore for the second workout. And I was on full blast Cycles and shitloads of calories and insulin

As has been said cardio in am, weights in the evening...

No need to train everything x2 a week, I guarantee you will look the same and actualy train harder doing it x1

You can get very good results training 2x daily but you need to know how to do it properly, lets say you train chest in the morning you do a heavy session then in the evening you do chest again with high reps focusing on the pump and getting blood into the muscle and also do lots of stretching, do this with everybody part for the week and you will get swole fast,
nutrition is also very important since you are going to train later on you need to replace glycogen as fast as possible so make sure you take in fast digesting post workout after your morning session.

look sure, if you're any kind of strength athlete more than once a week is best

Get a job

So you are one of those brainwashed zombies who believes a person should lock themselves away in some building slaving away for 8 to 10 hours a day wasting their lives doing something they hate instead of following their passion, ninety percent of the people who do this bullshit regret it on their deathbed because they realize that all the useless material crap that they collected means nothing and they wish they had done something they love with their lives.

Arnold and Wheeler trained 2 X a day but usually only before a contest and they are genetically gifted as hell with tons of gear thrown in the mix.

[Hack Benchers]

I worked out twice a day, once, in januari 2003.
After that day I stopped training alltogether upon to this very day. True story.
