Sorry but there is no magic formula for how many days works best. Totally an individual thing. The absolute biggest factor is recovery. I have trained THOUSANDS of people for a long...long time.
Some can slay it 5-6 times a week. Male and female. Some can train a few times a week, some one. A huge component here is also how much inflammation we carry as people. They always vary. Me personally it is 3 to 4 times per week with intensity. Anymore and I don't recover hence don't make gains in size/strength. You might be the same, you might not.
And yes... sleep, hormones, food all make an impact on ability to recover, it is still a big genetic question mark.
