Ice Age: In the old days it was often believed that hitting each body part extremely hard, once a week, was the way to maximize muscle growth.

New School: Working each muscle at least 3x a week will maximize your muscle growth. With a heavy training regimen you will have to make sure you get sufficient nutrient and rest but with all else being equal this should give you the gains you’re looking for.
