K boges・6 minutes read
Higher frequency training is recommended due to advantages such as lower perceived effort and less fatigue, but it comes with the risk of overuse injuries that can be managed with movement variety and training stress variations. Different training splits like push-pull legs or upper-lower can be effective when intelligently programmed to balance stimulus and fatigue.
Insights
- Higher frequency training allows for lower perceived effort, less fatigue, reduced soreness, and more volume accumulation in less time, but carries the risk of overuse injuries that can be managed through varied movements and training stress.
- Intelligent programming is crucial in balancing stimulus and fatigue in different training splits like push-pull legs or upper-lower, emphasizing the importance of structuring workouts to optimize benefits while minimizing risks.

Benefits and risks of higher frequency training
- Training frequency and splits are common topics, with higher frequency training being advocated for.
- Training splits are a way to distribute weekly volume, with higher frequency training involving hitting body parts more frequently, like full body workouts four or more days a week.
- Advantages of higher frequency training include lower perceived effort, less fatigue per session, reduced soreness, and the ability to accumulate more volume with less time commitment.
- Downsides include the risk of overuse injuries, which can be mitigated by adding variety to movements and variations in training stress. Different training splits like push-pull legs or upper-lower can be effective, with the key being intelligent programming to balance stimulus and fatigue.
