logically you'd just need to get as many growth periods per year as possible, while still allowing for adequate recovery but enough volume to recover
It's going to differ massively from person to person really, if anyone says that X frequency is best then they are flat out lying. The Chinese Olympic team are pretty fucking jacked though
You can adapt to high frequency with high intensity. Perfect example is oly weightlifters who train Bulgarian style squatting up to max possible for the day every day.
How do you know from a muscle building perspective when the muscle group is healed?
Is it when there is no DOMS?
What's the best way to know this?
I ask as it plays a vital role in muscle growth, does it not?
Bodybuilding and such can get technical when you think about it, I have always tried to apply the KISS principle, but since I haven't been able to work out for 2 weeks now it has got me thinking as to how best to approach my training.
Do they have high or low volume though bazz? Do you know how they would work that out, or is it trial and erra etc, person to person.
Some have very high volume but they build up to it over years.
I tried squatting to a daily max and it worked well. You don't need to be fully recovered to work out again.
getting to a point when you have "overtrained" is hard as fuck, and muscles recover very well.
in terms of hitting muscles per week
lyle mcdonald + several others think for natural trainees 2-3 times a week is best. with 2 being the best option.
So I guess you could say that training more frequently has the ability to add more growth periods for an entire year, that makes sense.
But than volume must be considered here too, as well as intensity. If one was to train their muscle group every day (full body say), than would it be best to have low volume? or intensity? or both?
I would think keeping intensity as high as possible, yet still low enough to keep the CNS in tact would be the best. But then how would you play the volume card? to high and you would wreck.
I think you are over complicating it, there is no perfect program or frequency. Just pick a program that you enjoy and work hard at it.
