Training frequency

Training frequency is how many times per week you train each muscle group.

Also known as: Frequency per muscle group

Training each muscle about twice a week usually distributes volume better than concentrating everything on a single day.

The ideal frequency depends on available days and recovery, and it shapes the choice of split (full body, upper/lower, push/pull/legs).
