That’s a good explanationI'll answer for myself...
If I try to do say 16 sets for Back all in one day, by the time I get past roughly 10 good hard sets, I'm no longer getting anything out of it. The last 6 sets I'm just going through the motions, it becomes junk volume. We all know that point where we're just done.
But if I break that workout up, and have 2 days of 8 sets each, then every set is good quality work. And the 6 junk volume sets from scenario 1 become 6 quality sets.
So even though I'm doing the same number of weekly sets, I'm getting more out of them.
This all depends upon how long you take to recover though. If you're a giant strong bastard, and a good quality session takes 5-7 days to recover from, then 2x per week probably isn't the best choice for that person.
