Training & movement

B

Training 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.
