# of workouts a week
I usually workout 5 to 6 days a week. I will do chest, back, hammies/quads, arms, abs and calves, and shoulders all on separate days. Lifting is probably my favorite part of everyday thats why i go 5-6 days a week. I keep reading workouts on here where people only go 3 days a week. Is one more beneficial than the other? please explain

It depends on the person, but if you really aren't an advanced lifter working out 3 or 4 days a week will usually net you better strength and size gains. Your muscles grow when you are resting, so if you are constantly working them they will not have sufficient time to rest and grow.

I workout 4 times a week. If I split it down any further than some of my body parts would run in to each other.... For ex, if I separated Arms as a day instead of doing biceps with chest and tris with chest then there would be a problem; My arms wont be healed in time for the next back workout, or tris wont be healed for the next chest workout.. Kinda complicated the way I wrote it but ya. Other than that, exactly what Lou Pac said.
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." - John Calvin Coolidge

I lift 4 days/week. 2 2-day splits. Works for me.

I haven't maxed at all but I can tell that I am a lot stronger. My max on bench was 215 when I stopped lifting last summer. Now I'm sure it's quite a bit higher than that. On my last set of bench yesterday I did 200 X 5 and didnt need any help.

Usually 3 or 4 training sessions/week. Every once in a while I may do five, but never more than that.
A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook
