In all honesty, combined we have 100s of years of lifting experience, for hypertrophy, given the life of a mere working mortal, is it better to focus on frequency of volume?
Serious question, could never swing one way or another in my experience.

If you're time poor, you're better off reducing the workout time, but to do that you need to increase the intensity of *work*, that is taxing not only on the body but also the mind.
What most numb-skulls don't want to understand is, Either method produces results!
One's a tad more uncomfortable to do, hurts like a bitch.

If you had time x to do all body parts once per week at vol y or twice per week at 1/2 of vol y.
Which method for the same bloke would you bet would grow more muscle in the same period?
I understand the difference would be microscopic, but if you had to put money on one or the other, black or red only.
Which way would you bet.

Same bloke trains for 1 year.
Method 1
ONCE per week he does:
8 sets for each of these body parts: bic, tric, chest, back, shoulders, traps, legs and calves.
or
Method 2
TWICE per week he does:
4 sets for each of these body parts: bic, tric, chest, back, shoulders, traps, legs and calves.
At the end of the week, he would do the same volume for both methods.
Can I ask why?
Is it cos stimulating at 1/2 the vol twice as often produces a better environment for the muscle to grow?
Suppose you are throwing in another element to the same weekly volume.
