Training & movement
BTraining frequency and muscle hypertrophy
Schoenfeld BJ, Ogborn D, Krieger JW · 2016 · Sports Medicine 46(11):1689-1697
REZA evidence rating B: Reasonable confidence
Methodology
Systematic review with meta-analysis
Findings
Training a muscle group more often per week is associated with more muscle growth, though the distinction from total volume is hard to isolate.
Practical conclusion for REZA
With two training days a week, REZA chooses a full-body split over a division where each muscle group is hit only once.
