I don't see much discussion about this among bodybuilders. Powerlifters, weightlifters, and athletes all delve very deep into training methodologies, periodizing intensity, volume, frequency, etc in order to hopefully attain the best results possible.
One could also argue though that many of these trainees do so to peak for an athletic event, which bodybuilders don't generally have to worry about in the traditional sense.
So do you guys focus on these details, accumulating volume followed by a deloading phase, etc or do you just pick a split you enjoy and go in trying to push yourself a little harder than last time if possible?
Personally, I've found slightly better results when following a structure involving increasing volume over a certain period followed by a lighter (lower volume or intensity) period, but I wouldn't say in terms of muscle growth that it was dramatically better than just sticking with a basic routine.
