Anybody who is lifting more than 4x a week is probably overworking their muscles or not going hard enough the days they’re in the gym. Could be bro science but that’s my opinion, 3 or 4 days is ideal for muscle growth. @MMS
That assumes people are trying to grow………….

“Hard enough” is an individual perspective

2 days a week for 30-40 minutes each visit.

1. 3 sets of chest press on a bench with of 10 in each set using 50 pound dumb bells.
2. Using one 50 pound dumb bell I do pullovers on the same bench.
3. I then grab 15 pound dumb bells to do 3 sets of 10 chest flys on the same bench.
4. I then incline the bench and grab 2-40 pound dumb bells and do 3 sets of inclined press with 10 in each set.
5. I then leave the bench and got to a machine where I sit down and do 50 pound shoulder presses.

1 day a week and I just work arms for 30 minutes using a combination of dumb bells and cable pulls.

I don't work legs in the gym, because I do a lot of walking and hiking in the hills around my home with my wife or my friends. Hiking is much easier on my knees than doing squats in a gym. I also do a lot of yard work, so my legs get more work that my chest and arms.

I just be vibing in there really. Certain things I do every day I hit the gym. I have a general framework something like this for chest/upper day

Compound (Bench for example)
1x10 135
1x8 155
3x5 185
2x3 205
Then a couple singles up to the max for the day depending on how I’m feeling. Usually up to about 245 most days
Backdown of a 1x8 185

Then at least 4-6 accessories
Incline DB 4x10 then 2x8 at a higher weight
Arnold Press 4x10 then 2x8 at a higher weight
Plate Raise 4x10
Lateral DB Raise 4x10 (I do these even on leg day)
Cable Pulldown for Tris 5x10 (even on leg day)
Upright Row 5x10

leg day is similarly structured. Hit legs 2-3 days a week and upper 2-3 days a week. One of those is a weekend day so I double up and hit full body

I have a personal trainer that comes with something different every week. Typically we start with 5 min warm-up on the rowing machine then 3 circuits each with 3 exercises followed by an abs burnout session.

If you're lifting 6-7 days a week then you must not be going hard. Better to go hard for 3-4 days and let your body recover since that is a big part of muscle growth.
I lift 5 days a week. nikkas just be talking to be talking. Take amino acids for recovery.
