Adjust up or down after two or three weeks based on soreness, performance and sleep.
Frequency organizes volume; it does not replace progressive overload or sound technique.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I train chest?
Two weekly sessions suit most people. Advanced lifters or those doing high volume may benefit from three.
Does higher frequency build more muscle?
Not by itself. It helps when it lets you perform effective volume with better quality and recovery.
Can I train while sore?
Mild soreness may be fine, but severe soreness, worse performance or altered technique calls for more recovery.
