That depends on a lot of differents things. Diet, rest, how much & how intense u train each muscle group, genetics.
If all of these things r being done propperly i would say 2x a week but get 1day a week that is rest. No weight training or cardio but do alot of stretching & may b add some ostarine to assizt in recovery.

The literature states that training each muscle group twice per week, once in a progressive overload and once in a blood volume technique is the fastest way to build muscle. This is the split I recommend
1. Lower strength
2. Upper strength
3. off
4. legs hypertrophy
5. chest shoulder tricep hypertrophy
6. back biceps hypertrophy
7. off

It doesn't. It MIGHT say X body part takes 72 hours to recover (so 2x a week would be fine) but it ignores the OVERALL impact of ALL body parts. Most studies look at ONE aspect.
That's not to say people can't train 2x but that's individual.
Finally, the frequency of lifting is not drug related. Not really. Why train more often than you need to if the results are good? I know I can add to my work load on gear but that's saying I can do more - not need to
over training muscles serves no purpose plus you will simply wear down your body and be crippled in your 40's and even your 30's
when young guys come on here and brag that they lift everyday for 2 hours i SMH. keep that up son and your body will find its own ways to punish you.
you can easily get good results setting up a 3-5 day split and working a muscle group each of those days

If you do not get sufficient and regular rest, you will not improve and only end up hurting yourself.
Here is what I do: I alternate rest days. My muscle memory rarely kicks in cause my workouts constantly change. I do a mix of HIT, tabata, and cross-fitesque (not actual cross fit) workouts. This is for strength and cardio. Then I weight train for power every other day. And one day I will do a full body day where it is less weight, more reps, more resistance. But I typically get 6 to 8 hrs of sleep and plenty of rest and recuperation.

I train 3-4 days per week. There is no magic number.
I think it depends on the person. But make sure you avoid overtraining thats what can lead to injuries.
