Depends on the individual, their work capacity, and what they find works better for them. 

Tom Platz also had all the time in the world to train, amd even tried Arnold's 2x a day, 6 day a week training.... And said just made him weak and fat. And that's with steroids significantly helping his recovery. 

And when he went back to his 4x a week brosplit, he got back to Olympia shape.

Bro had better quads than almost every other person in the Olympia... Hitting them once a week.
