The general position on weight training is typically allowing some days of rest in between training the same body parts. There is of course much evidence to support that this is a proven way to make gains.
However I am curious what long term benefits there can be had from training the same body parts on a more consistent basis, such as every day or every other day. You might wonder, why would anyone want to do that? Basically my thought process behind this is looking certain types of athletes and people who work an occupation that requires heavy lifting. For example gymnasts tend to train nearly everyday using lots of upper body strength and movement, for many of them they have very strong and sculpted physiques. Also certain type of construction workers or other jobs that require moving heavy weight, I have seen people in that field with fairly impressive builds.
So could there be benefits in training more frequently than 1 or 2 a week?
