Just wanted to know how everyone felt about working each muscle twice a week instead of once. All the programs here at FT only have you lifting each muscle once a week. So what do you think is better for gaining muscle once or twice a week?

once per week you need to rest! Muscle is built while resting not while you are tearing them down in the gym.
Good luck - Mike

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain
