if i'm gonna do high volume, then each muscle group frequency should be 1-2x a week....but if i'm doing fullbody, then yeah: 3x...
however, i think this question means what i
personally like to do....
i would like to have each muscle group trained 2x a week

the reason why i chose a brand-name program is because i thought that i'm a beginner and my programs will give me less-than-optimal results, whereas a professional strength coach will know better....
