re: Is hitting muscle groups once per week enough?

Yeah, I mean I am trying my best...for instance, yesterday I did my Day 1 workout. Incremental increase in each of the first four routines, but by the time I got to close grip bench, my arms were shot...absolutely tightened up with lactic acid from all the preceding pressing and could not do what I did in preceding weeks in the next three. So...arbitrary increase is just not possible...I dont know what the right balance is, but I just feel like I am not making strength gains hitting things once per week.
Day 4: Barbell Rows and Chin-ups (BARELY) have seen no improvement since week one. The only ones where I have seen no improvement. I just don't feel like I hit back enough to make strength gains.

If you start with the same lifts and follow them in order every time, you will be gassed later on each body part.
Mix up. If you start with this order: ABCD in one workout, go with BCDA order the next.
Or just do what I do. One lift per body part and rotate them every month of so.
Flat Bench or Incline
Back Squat or Front Squat
Regular Deadlift or Sumo Deadlift
Standing Strict Presses or Seated DB presses
etc
I’m doing other things during the week so this is more than sufficient for me.
