Working out one bodypart per day/ per week is an inferior way to train.
Sure, you'll make progress off it, but that doesnt justify training this way if there is a way to train that will get you there faster.

I have made the most progress since I changed from this below

M- Chest
T - Legs
W - Back
T - Shoulders
F - Arms
S - Off
S - Off

To this

M - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
T - Back/Legs/Biceps
W - Off
Th - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Fr - Back/Legs/Biceps
S - Off
S - Off


Training once per week, per part will come out to about 52 chest workouts per year, 52 shoulder, 52 leg days, etc, etc.. But twice per week and now you will have 104 chest workouts, 104 shoulders, 104 leg workouts, etc, etc And if recovery is brought up, I get 3 days off per week, so recovery is not an issue. So with this in mind, you can obviously see why once per week is far inferior to twice per week.

My 2 cents
