any thoughts on low volume and high frequency training?

Sort by date Sort by votes
realistically you should be doing medium - high volume training 6 days a week as the ideal, but this is obviously difficult to stay consistent with

the least you could probably get away with while still making decent gains is consistent medium training volume for 3-4 days a week

nope, if you're doing a different muscle groups twice a week (e.g. back + bi's, chest + tri's and legs) then each muscle group gets 5 days of rest

thats a decent enough routine to make use out of noobie gains

however if you're an experienced consistent lifter then yeah that won't do jack

If ur main goal is building muscle then high volume with medium frequency is better. if ur tryna imrpove strength and technique then low volume high frequency

the only reason i would do this is for hyperplasia which is the process of forming completely new muscle fibers, so lets say you do a ridiculous amount of reps at low intensity e.g. 50 reps you will cause more muscle fibers to grow but its not as effective at breaking down ur current muscle fibers so you wont experience as much hypertrophy. in my opinion the best volume is to do 8 hard sets per muscle group, and by hard i mean that you have 1-2 reps in reserve/failure. However, if youre a woman its probably optimal to just train glutes and legs maybe back/abs day and take longer rests in between but if you want muscular arms and shit thats up to u

You can def make gains from 3-4 day splits JFL. What are you even saying. I'd even argue you can make more gains rather than "decent" like u stated. More rest days = MORE GAINS. Just because you think you're doing more for yourself by going 6 days a week, you could actually be slowing down the recovery process which is what ultimately grows / ascends your physique.

can you read, i said the least you can get away with while still making decent gains is 3-4 days a week (meaning training 3-4 days a week would still get you reasonable gains you numbskull)

and no, excess rest does not get you more gains. thats dumb.

and yes actually, you are doing something for yourself by going to the gym 6 or even 5 days a week which is why every fucking IFBB level bodybuilder goes to the gym at the bare minimum 5 days a week you stupid ass n***a

if it isn't optimal why does every single bodybuilding youtuber train 5-6 days a week, including natty ones like JJJ or Jeff nippard and even ones who have literal phd's (greg doucette in kinesiology and mike israetel in sports physiology)

now if you're worried about slowing down recovery thats why us smart people use training splits e.g. PPL (push, pull legs) so that instead of hitting chest every session like you probably do, you hit it just twice a week whenever its a push day -- and training a muscle twice a week gives it more than enough time to recover

you're actually an idiot n***a holyyyy shit i hope you get banned

it's definitely more ideal to go 6 days a week, I can talk from personal experience, but it's hard to stay consistent that way. Best to do medium intensity for 3-4 days a week for longevity

p sure current literature suggests theres like no difference between muscle growth between low and high volume training as long as you're training to failure. Only drawback w high volume is ur literally just increasing your fatigue, while with low volume ur still training w the same intensity w less volume. Please just train low volume, depends on the muscle group but like 2 sets of 4-6 reps to failure progressively overloading is ideal.
