Frequently asked questions
What is training frequency?
It's how often you train — measured either as sessions per week or how many times you hit a specific muscle group across the week.
How does frequency relate to volume and intensity?
Frequency, volume and intensity are the three core programming variables; frequency is how often, volume is how much, and intensity is how hard.
How often should you train each muscle?
Many programs hit each muscle group around twice a week to balance recovery with enough stimulus, though it varies by goal and experience.
