Default Muscle training.. once or twice a week?

Me and mate was down the gym last night when we started chatting to a guy there..

He says he does muscles groups twice a week.. so 6 days solid at the gym.

Now, we have been going 4 days a week doing each muscle group once.

What do people recommend here?

I do the same as you mate, personally I dont see the need to change.

I'd only up the sessions if i felt like I wasnt getting enough benefits from training 4 times a week.

Yeh, you could well end up going in to an overtrained state, and considering the short time you have been training this would be inevitable.
