Chest only once a week.. I wouldn't do it that way personally. I like hitting each group twice a week. Chest day Monday to start the week off great, and again Thursday to get that mid week pick me up.

But if it works for you, go for it mane.

I hit each body part once a week and see great results. I go for strength but also do quite a few different exercises/sets per day so I spend a lot of time in the gym on the 4 days I'm there. Often 3 hrs a session

Going to 2 days a week each muscle group for me means either staying at 4 days a week at the gym but having too much time spent in the gym (it would take 4-5 hrs to go through one workout if I didn't change anything and just compressed 2 workouts into 1 the way it is) or going 6 days a week to balance it. Neither of which I have much desire to do at this time but that may change soon.

I may switch to a 5x3 or 5x5 strength upper/lower/upper/lower soon to hit everything twice a week and decrease the # of exercises I do for each muscle group and just go heavy. We'll see.

It's not too bad for me. I love the volume. Typical workout is 2 hours, but that's with a gym partner and we switch off. Chest day is usually closer to 2 1/2 hours with a meal break halfway through (protein bar or shake).

Sunday is our only rest day, but I feel great through out the week. I just make sure I'm eating enough and getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night. Usually do cardio in the mornings before my first meal too, since I'm cutting.

But this is our schedule:

M: Chest / Tris
T: Back / Bis
W: Legs
Th: Chest / Tris
F: Back / Bis
S: Legs / Shoulders
Sun: Rest

We started skipping shoulders on Wednesdays so that we're good to go for Chest again on Thursdays.

By more volume do you mean more sets?
And abs I just do what I used to do and got my 6-8pack, hit abs more than posted but should def look into it more

ISO that efficiency tho
