No one knows. Weight lifting studies have limited durations, and are often done on old people who barely even lift.

But I've been lifting for a couple decades, and ask every guy I meet that looks decent how often they lift.

My belief is that, natural body builders reach peak muscle mass after a few years and then the only thing they can do is maintain.

Working out more often might get you to that peak muscle mass quicker, in say 1 year instead of 2, but you still hit it.

And maintaining requires only hitting each muscle once a week. Dividing that into three sessions, or hitting each muscle three days a week should be fine. That's also more than enough to grow so long as you are pushing yourself and fatiguing your muscles.

Anecdotally, I have more muscle mass working out three days a week than seven.

I've noticed most big guys work out six days a week, but I think that's more to do with working out more often makes the habit easier to maintain long term. I believe if you can get a habit of working out for three days a week, you'll be fine.

Nutrition & Sleep are key.
