How often should you train each muscle group for optimal growth?
Strength coach Jake Doleschal breaks down why training muscles 2-3x per week with moderate volume beats once-weekly high-volume approaches - and how it aligns with modern science.
You'll learn:
Why twice weekly training outperforms once weekly with high volume
How muscle growth peaks in 48 hours but atrophy starts by day 5
Why 3-4 sets per week maintains muscle but doesn't build it
How to structure AAA vs. ABA workout splits
The enhanced lifter problem: copying 40-set workouts leads to overtraining
CNS fatigue and practical recovery strategies
Exercise selection: start with muscle regions, not set counts
Practical guidelines: 8-16 exercises per session
Why rep ranges (5-15) don't significantly impact hypertrophy
What pre-steroid era bodybuilders got right about sustainable training
