CARIUS TRAINING GUIDE

How Often Should You Train Each Muscle?

Training frequency is best understood as a way to distribute productive work across the week. The ideal frequency depends on total volume, exercise selection, recovery, schedule and experience rather than a universal rule that every muscle must be trained a fixed number of times.

If a session contains so much work that later sets become low quality, distributing that work across another day can help. Frequency also provides more opportunities to practice important lifts.

Choose a schedule you can recover from and execute consistently. Your split is a way to organise the work, not a personality type.
