If you want to go by a real week, then it's 4 times a week. Key word here is WEEK. Every other day in a week means every other day in that week. When you start a new week, it's back to back days. See below. Saturday being the last day in a week and Sunday the first.
For example, mine is: Week 1:Sun, Tues, Thur, Sat Week 2:Sun, Tues, Thur, Sat Week 3: Sun, Tues, Thur, Sat This goes on .

That's fine, but that no longer fits the definition of training every other day.

If you create the arguement you will: Work out on one day and the next will be a rest day, and of course you will repeat this. You can't create the arguement that X or Y is a new day of a new week.
This is due to the nature of your initial idea.
Furthermore, you could do a lot of harm with your workout - depending on what exactly it is, if there's no rest day on Saturday to Sunday.
Justin was right in reguards to Josh though. You are training 7 times every two weeks or 3.5 times a week. 4 times one week and 3 the next might not be a bad idea though, depending on other factors.
Basically, average it out over a period of 365 days and you'd see you were wrong and Justin was right. Short-term you can attempt to make the arguement that he is wrong, but your maths is just way off in reality.

You have a lot to LEARN about working out, buddy. Workouts are usually created to fit a 1 week period, not a 14, 28, ....day period.

Workouts are usually created to fit a 1 week period, not a 14, 28, ....day period. Due to the fact we are online and on a forum, one would assume that you can read. So stop jumping the gun and maybe add thinking inbetween the reading and posting stage? I didn't say you. However, since so many people asking questions are new. It's always wise to cater advice to that when you aren't being more specific. Due to the fact the poster needs serious advice with his workout it makes sense to make sure he realises that if he did improper workouts back-to-back he could in fact do serious harm to himself. Origional Post: instead of doing upperbody or lowerbody I just do full body strenth workouts. Maybe you should instead pay more attention rather than jumping the gun? Patience is a virtue.

You were responding to my post and you used "You" and "Your" in your response. I have all the rights to assume you were referring to me. Fuccking moron. Yeah, I can't read. Maybe you should learn how to write properly so people will know who you're referring to next time.

A week is any seven days. Why cut a rest day just to fit some arbitrary schedule? Workout every other day = 3.5 times a week.

Sorry for being a pedantic ass, but I think it's worth mentioning that while I agree with the spirit of what you're saying, working out 7x every 2 weeks doesn't equal working out 3.5x every week. Mathematically it's equivalent, but not pragmatically... there's no such thing as half a workout. It's 3 days one week, 4 days the other.

But when pragmatically looking at the equivalence, every other day would be more frequent than 3 times per week and less frequent than 4 times per week.

No, 3.5 times a week doesn't make sense. You can not use the term 3.5 times/week because it doesn't exist. There is no such thing as half day when you're doing a workout every other day. You can say 7 times every 14 days but NOT 3.5/week. You cannot divide 7 by 2 in this situation. It doesn't work. You can use any 7 days you want and my logic stands. It doesn't have to be Sunday-Saturday.

You don't get it. 7 times every 14 days would be 4 times during the first 7 days and 3 times during the next 7-day period, 3 days for the one after that and 4 during the next, this continues to repeat. 1 3 5 7--->4 days 9 11 13 ---> 3 days 15 17 19. 21 --->4 days 23, 25, 27 --->3 days 29, 31, 33, 35 ---> 4 days.
Hope that made it a little easier for those of you struggling to grasp this. So, if you want to use any 7 day, it will be both 4 times and 3 times per week.

It doesn't have to be Sunday-Saturday. Simply talking equilivancy here. The guys (and myself) are simply saying working out 7 times in 14 days has the equivilance of 3.5 frequency. (Not actually prescribing to DO 3.5 workouts). Actuarial tables are all based on the same types of thing, rates might be based on a average family of 2.5 kids, that doesn't mean anyone HAS 2.5 kids, but the equivilancy states it's more than 2, less than 3.

Yes, that has an average weekly frequency of 3.5.

Santa Shikaba:
Can we agree that 4 weeks is 28 days? 7x4=28 right?
If you work out every other day that's 14 times in 4 weeks. 28/2=14 right?
If as you say you work out every other day and that's 4 times per week would you not be working out 16 times? 4x4=16 right?
How can both be true? You used a 31 day month as an example in an earlier post. That's not 4 weeks. That's a calendar month.
4 weeks every other day is 14 workouts which is 7 every two weeks which is 3.5 per week (or for people who don't understand math 3 one week and 4 the next and so forth.....)

You're an idiot . I know the average is 3.5 but it is not pragmatic. If you were to put together a workout for people to use, would you list that they will work out 3.5 times a week?
We know the average is 3.5 but you cannot use .5 day in this situation.

So... In the last 2 weeks I've worked out every other day an so far have worked out 10 times.
But.... I think what the OP is asking is if i is ok to do this.
Mon: Arms, Back, chest, shoulders, legs Tues: Off Wed: Arms, Back, chest, shoulders, legs Thurs: Off Fri: Mon: Arms, Back, chest, shoulders, legs Sat: Mon: Arms, Back, chest, shoulders, legs Sun1: Off Sun2: Off
I'd suggest the other splits where you work out 1-2 muscle groups a day and then a rest day, then work 1-2 DIFFERENT muscle groups, then rinse repeat with different muscle groups

We know the average is 3.5 but you cannot use .5 day in this situation. LOL no but if you were to prescribe every other day.. Also, in the context (page 1), he said wouldn't 4 or five times per week be overtraining? The body will recognize the frequency as 3.5 times per week. This isn't a debate. The frequency is 3.5 per week. In the real world, numbers are used to justify quantity. Have trouble understanding things when numbers are involved?

sub'd!
this is one of the funniest things I've read in a long while
I just hope Josh comes back to give some more words of wisdom.
If I sleep twice on a sunday, does that count as two days? In which case 15 day fortnights are possible!
