    New training frequency study: 5x beats 2x

    "In conclusion, training a muscle 5x per week led to substantially greater muscle growth than training a muscle once or twice per week. Training a muscle at least twice per week is probably also beneficial for strength development."...

    Volume vs Frequency

    There is a school of thought that says that frequency of training is of greater importance than sheer volume e.g. if you do 12 sets for muscle group X once per week you will see a greater benefit doing 6 sets twice per week. I can see the logic in this in regards to being able to increase...

    High vs low frequency training

    How many of you employ high vs low frequency training styles e.g. high frequency - training a body part 2-3 times a week and low frequency less than once every seven days. For those of you training high frequency, do you keep the volume low as a trade off? How many days per week are you...

    General Powerlifting Programs- Personal Reviews

    I thought I'd start a thread where we could review a program based on our own personal experiences. There's no right or wrong reviews, just opinions and sharing what worked and what didn't.

    High frequency training

    Interested to hear from those of you who employ a high frequency training model e.g. each muscle group twice per week. Aside from an opinion on the efficacy of it, I'm interested in how you structure your split, what sort of % effort you think is required given the reliance on volume as opposed...

    Training Frequency

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the old days before steroids, bodybuilders used to train body parts multiple times per week. Since Steroids became more prevalent body part splits which only train body parts once a week became more common. For a Natural lifter, training a body part more than...

    Splits, frequency and training level/stage

    I've been reading/watching a few things on the internet and I've heard a few times now that 3xweekly full body workouts are best for the beginner, and once a week work is best for the advanced bodybuilder. What are peoples thoughts on this? I'm looking at routines to do next year but I'm not...

    Deadlift frequency and volume

    Just wondering what you guys think is - or even better, have found to be - the best frequency and volume for deadlifts, and whether it's very different for novice lifters vs. intermediate vs. advanced. And if so, in what ways. For example, I'm probably still a novice lifter, pulling around...

    Optimal Training Frequency.

    A topic which has been on my mind a lot is the optimal frequency of training, whether to work a muscle once a week, twice a week or however many times a week. While the instinctive training principle; listening to your body’s performance and recovery is important, there is still a need to take...

    Work out frequency - what dictates it?

    Couple of trends I notice in work outs - For more advanced trainees volume goes up, but so does the break between work outs. (e.g. 10 sets per muscle group, 1 week breaks between work outs) For newer trainees I notice less sets but sometimes even a 48 hour break between muscle groups. What's...

    Frequency

    So from a muscle building stand point, what is the best in terms of frequency of training a muscle group? There seems to be debate on the once a week or twice a week frequency.

    Mike Mentzer - Frequency less as GROW BIGGER

    Have just been re-reading all my Mentzer books etc. He states that the body has a 300% capacity to grow stronger but only a 50% capacity to recover. So as we get bigger we need to do less. A 12" arm contracting at 100% will not tax the overall body as much as an 18" arm contracting maximally...
