Training Frequency – How Often Should You Train Each Muscle Group?
⠀
These are averages and your specific training frequency will vary depending on your fitness level and experience. ⠀
These training frequencies are for strength and muscle growth.
⠀
Back 2-4 times per week
Chest 2-3 times per week
Deltoids 2-6 times per week
Arms 2-3 times per week
Abs 2-3 times per week
Quadriceps 2-3 times per week
Glutes 2-3 times per week
Hamstrings 2-3 times per week
⠀
Keep in mind that the “Deltoids” have up to 6 times per week because you’re usually training your posterior and lateral deltoids (back and side of shoulders) with very low intensity, so they recover somewhat faster than other muscle groups.
⠀
How do you reach this?
Doing a Full-Body Workout 3 times per week or Upper/Lower split 4 times per week will hit all these muscle groups about 2-3 times per week.
It’s all about how you program your workouts, and everyone has different goals with their training, so pick whatever fits your goals and life.
