Hey folks,
I'm self-employed, so I can literally workout anytime/anyday of the week, as many times as I want. Therefore, I was wondering how many times I should work out since I have lots of time available. I just browsed the HST FAQ and saw this:
"Training once every 7 days will still allow you to grow, it just takes longer for the gains to accumulate. Training more frequently is more efficient if your goal is just to get bigger"
Okay, I don't want to be a workout-aholic, but I do want to gain results as fast as possible. I've been lifting for at least 5 years off and on, and I'm 26 years old. Now, is it really true that the more you volume you lift a week + frequency = big gains fast?
Whatever happened to the belief of overtraining? I keep hearing that you should rest more, etc.
I saw a poll here cently where most of you guys are lifting like 6x a week. I don't think I can find the motivation to keep doing that every week.
thoughts?
