I’ve been training since the mid nineties. My experience is genetics is everything and your training program will revolve around it. For the genetically blessed group, waiting 1 or 2 days between workouts is usually doable, unless lifting in a HIT fashion, which will require waiting the full 2 days. For the genetically average person, a 24 hour recovery period will be right on the edge, and after about the first year of training will probably not be enough. For the un-genetically blessed group, commonly referred to as hardgainers, then a minimum 3 days recovery time seems to work well. I fall somewhere between the average and hardgainer group, so I find working out every 3rd day works best for me, and full body workouts comprised of basic large muscle group movements have delivered the best results. Additionally, when doing small muscle group movements like biceps, triceps, and deltoids, go for movements that involve more muscle stretch, but use caution and stay away from the ones that over articulate your shoulder joints.

Making sure that while in the gym each training session that you're doing he's done within 1 hour to 70 minutes, exercise selection, reps and tempo of each set performed should all be taken into account as it will be critical in your recovery for getting back into the gym.

I'm still convinced that intensity is the key and have always made the best gains from training every muscle directly once a week, 4 x 45-50 mins per week in the gym should be more than enough.Absolutely no point in doing for instance 20 sets per week for biceps and being in the gym for hours and hours, a couple of intense sets to failure will stimulate muscle growths and avoids you digging a deep hole you won't properly recover from anyway (let alone build some muscle on top of that). If you even think about training a muscle group, let's say chest, 3 times a week you are training nowhere near intense enough.
@ochjimКүн бұрын

Age matters. I now train low rep, low sets, high weight, with 3-5 days off between heavy training. My strength has increased more since stopping higher frequency training. My mass has also increased. I'm always stronger in the next session. I also take a week off of training to enjoy life, and return still stronger than before. My joy of training and quality of life has increased due to less time in the gym and with easier recovery. I suggest people stop thinking only about their muscles. Your nervous system and hormone levels (critical for natties like me) must also recover, and this takes longer when you get older.

I thought I was leaving gains on the table, because of all the inaccurate brouhaha the fitness community keeps feeding me, but willingly made that trade, because it just fits me better to workout everyday. Another idea I have is that because I bully my muscles often, I will force an adaptation that allows me to recover faster, glad you covered that as well :D. I don't go hard on the muscles everyday, I cycle heavy, moderate and active recovery, for example, I never have 2 heavy sets for upper body on the same day.

Full body workouts every day is most convenient method for me because of the following reasons, 1. I can do as little as 2-3 sets per muscle group per day. 2. It becomes an habit to lift just like how you brush, eat etc so that you won't be able to miss it. 3. Helps to achieve the overall training volume for the week with little effort everyday which compounds. 4. Helps you to get better at every lift because you do it day in and out. Neural and muscular co-ordination improves. 5. Muscle can adapt/recover quicker if you make it an habit to lift everyday.

@TheCopperRevolution Жыл бұрын
House of Hypertrophy, you hit the nail on the head here, about joint repair from training every 24 hours over 3 weeks. It is fairly self-evident that bones and torn tendons take about 8 weeks to repair themselves. Tendons and bones have something similar: a poor blood supply. This could explain the long time to repair injuries. This is why short-term 3-4 week studies on what is most effective for muscle growth are worthless. If the training stimulus cannot be sustained over the course of 8 weeks, or even 8 years, it's not going to result in growth, but rather injury. Bodybuilders must not only avoid joint tears, but also avoid overtraining. Some have speculated that if the muscle grows significantly faster than the strength of the tendons, this is also a setup for failure. From my own experience, high rep training leads to better joint recovery, say, in the 20-30 rep range. But 50-100 rep ranges seem to cause too much metabolic damage, and more joint problems, from whatever process, I cannot say. Furthermore, doing too much training in low rep ranges, say in the 5 rep range, over 2 months, then also leads to joint aches and pains. What I have found works best is to vary the training between 20-30 reps then back to 5 reps, then back to high reps, and avoid overtraining, and adding in rest weeks, to avoid training that eventually leads to joint problems. Lifting has many paradoxical problems. When I was too consistent, such as when I was about age 30, lifting 3 years straight, it led to joint pains that crept up on me that I did not notice because I was so strong. Eventually I tore a muscle with slightly bad form, but was it the form or was it a weakness that finally manifested from overtraining? Or was it a lack of minerals and poor diet?

Thanks for your comment , that's an advice I'll meditate for sure. I got a question for you if you are disposed to 🙏 I'm an intermediate-beginner 22yo (my lifts are 200 bench 260 deadlift 225 squat) I was doing PPL for 6 month and got injured in my elbow tendon and still tried to grind PRs on the bench anyway like an absolute a****e, I got even more injured and now I realise I should stop doing any bench pressing movement for 10 weeks for sure, cause of the pain and to not get this injury even worse. Except maybe "large" push ups that are fine to train my chest in the 30-40 rep range (hopefully, I can still train chest that way). I recently switched to training every day (it's been 3 weeks now), and I kind of feel tensions in my others tendons (shoulders, elbow, even fingers tendons) , not pain, but enough tension to ask myself if what I'm doing is really healthy and substainable . I'm always training to failure with the weight I can handle for 12-20 reps, but I wonder if it would be better for me to train in the 30ish rep range full body every day with lighter weights, for maximal hypertrophy without the negative effets on the connective tissues, or if I should go back to a PPL (meaning training 2-3h 3 days a week) Right now I'm doing every muscle group every ~4-5 days I have the time and the determination to work hard, so it would be very frustrating for me to not exploit that at its full potential What would be your point on that ? Thanks in advance for your attention sir

I usually do twice a week out of convenience. Age, genetics and diet and intensity of workout play a huge part in this. The older you get, the more recovery you need. An absolute minimal is probably once a week if you go either really intense or have low goals. Most people will need twice a week to progress or maintain. If you are body building a muscle group for 3 or more days, you probably need your diet specialized, but if you do lighter workouts, everyday is fine. Let your body tell you how often you can train. You’ll know if you aren’t making or maintaining progress.

I think at the end of the day the most important judge for your body is you. I think genetics play a huge role in muscle training. I have been working out for over 20 years and have mixed up my training sessions, depending on which muscle group I was targeting. I mention genetics because it really does determine how muscles recover, the growth of muscle, and the amount of rest you need between sessions. I think the best thing is to come up with a routine that works for you and stay consistent but mix it up with different exercises from time to time to keep the muscles engaged and reduce boredom from continued repetition of the same exercises. Always train drug free it's the best way!!! Great video!
@markolehtonen6640 Жыл бұрын
Well, of course you can train the same muscle even e.g. 3 times per day, 7 days a week. That doesn't mean anything. All depends on the volume and intensity, body part, and how advanced lifter you are (when thinking about the gains). Fact is that your sets have to be "hard enough", say max 2-3 reps from failure, with good quality repetitions, and having enough volume (whatever that "enough" is). Only after those comes the frequency. And it depends on your gender, age, how advanced you are, nutrition, sleep/rest, stress etc. I can agree that calves you can train really hard/really often, but not your legs. So as a summary, it is not that simple as this video suggests.

I believe it's possible to train 6 days a week and have 1 rest day, as it was since the beginning. But that's only really possible if you are already a veteran in the gym. For newbies or for people who rarely exercise certain muscles, they may need to wait quite a few days or sometimes even a week to recover before targeting the same muscles again. And how you exercise them will also affect how long they take to recover.
@_Sam62 Жыл бұрын
You've got it completely wrong imo. As you progress, the intensity will increase and you will need longer rest between workouts. Edit, by increase in intensity I mean this has to increase if you want to stimulate muscle growth. If you always train with a few reps for failure, fewer rest days are needed. If you train every workout up to and including (positive) failure, more rest days are needed, at least 1 day of rest between 2 workouts. Of course this applies to the 100% natural. An enhanced athlete recovers through the PED, so other conditions apply.

This is oversimplified. Extra factors are important. 1. How long have you been on your gym journey? ----- Advanced trainees, recover better. So, they can train the muscle on a higher frequency. 2. What is the overall training volume? ----- It's known that weekly volume is more important to keep in mind than a proper split. Any split can work if the volume is in the right range. 3. Did they go to failure on every set? ----- Going to failure on a set is what requires you to recover first to be able to have another good working set. Not going to failure every time makes it that you can train that muscle the day after as well. 4. Training more for more gains isn't always optimal. ----- Even if you can train fatigued AND keep gaining muscle on a high frequency, you risk to get more injuries. Recovery is not only to have optimal gains, but also for health.

I think this highly depends on the individual and how hard you push. If you go very close to failure I don't see how you can train the same exercise even twice a week with low volume, personally I don't recover and strength always goes down from doing 1 set close or to failure. Rotating exercises can make high frequency viable for me, but it also adds a degree of complexity that can be hard to manage as not all combinations of exercise rotations work.

When you are young and somewhat active your body will adapt quickly and repair itself at the pace you allow (rest and nutrition). 3 times a day, no issue. Eat and sleep properly. As you get older 30+ you need more rest. If you are young and want gains, you should switch up your resistance training every now and then. I remember using 3-12 weeks then switch (depending on which part of the football season). Training, to me, means mastering something new or at a new level, otherwise it is execution :) So switching between volume, weight, isolation, full body, etc. to keep aiming for an all-round strength. A healthy body adapts fast and you need to switch it up and take the long view. My 2 cents of input :)

Sidenote's: If you've an endurance sport background you will recuperate faster meaning you can workout 6/7 days but everyday an other muscle group and 2 to 4 times legs in a week. And still running, cycling 6/7 days! Labourmen workout 6/7 days lol, athleets etc does martial arts does it sow..you can addapt to it! But a decent warming up, a right execution of the exercises(technique,pause,etc),and always do a cooling down after the workout read strech at least 1min static for each strech! Actually doing yoga before sleep will enhance your sleep/recurperation. Your food intake(fruits, veggies, nuts,mushrooms,oats etc) is very important towards your flexibility/general health and lack of acidity try to eat as much as possible an alkaline dieet(electrofieed food intake) I only ride ultra distances and train herefor 5days in a week, my simple strength system 6/7 days workout. Mon/Wednes/Fri-day chest/should/triceps and Tues/Thurs/Saturday Back/biceps and 3to2x1 leg day! Sunday restday. The Monday Push Tuesday Pull Wednesday legs and sofort is possible aswel to do and still 6/7 days in a week. But what i do is a Monday Push+legs Tuesday Pull Wednesday Push+ legs Thursday Pull Friday Push+ legs Saterday Pull Sunday off

Listen to your body. If it's sore and stiff, maybe do some light stretching but wait for it to recover more.
