10–20 Working Sets Per Muscle Group Weekly

Use weekly training volume as a hypertrophy target: for most muscle groups, aim for roughly 10 working sets per week at the low end, with 15–20 sets being a stronger default for many lifters. More advanced trainees may benefit from pushing toward 20–25 sets if recovery is good. This volume range helps provide enough stimulus for muscle growth while still allowing recovery between sessions.

I can only directly hit that muscle group the same as you once a week with that level of intensity.
