Frequency is in
When organizing a program, typically we are organizing the recovery time and spacing of how frequent we can train a specific muscle.
We need enough days to recover but also want to have the ideal amount of training days to get the best stimulus possible.
This is why Upper/Lower splits and Full-body programs are very popular right now.
This is because we are seeing that frequency has a huge impact on getting the most muscle possible.
Hitting a muscle 2-3x per week allows for very little volume to make a big impact.
This is because hitting it more frequently allows for less muscle atrophy to occur throughout the week.
As we’ve talked about before, fatigue management has a huge impact on whether or not you’re going to be the most productive. That’s why spreading out volume throughout the week, with 1-2 sets for a muscle per workout is going to be great.
Low volume and high intensity continues to get more beneficial and becoming the ideal way to train.
So Lower it Down
If you’ve ever been debating whether or not your volume is to high this will help you out.
If you notice that you aren’t progressing in your lifts, whether that’s through weight or reps, then you probably have a volume issue.
Lowering down, you will notice that your progression will speed up much more quickly and that you aren’t as sore as you typically might be.
This is good, soreness doesn’t equal gains and this is something people tend to go after when working out.
So lower your volume, train to failure, and train frequently.
My Four Chest Exercise’s
Speaking a less volume, my chest exercises are very low and spread across 2 different days. I have 2 exercises each with 2 working sets.
I would even argue that I have a little higher than I should for volume but I am still progressing fine.
