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.
