Strength improvements for bench press, lat pulldown, and leg press were measured at four and eight months. Strength improvements were not significantly different among groups. However, the group training four times weekly did show a greater percentage change from baseline. Although some studies have shown that training should be performed three, four, or even five times per week, this study suggests that over time, the differences in strength gains between low- and high-frequency training get smaller and smaller.
This study also shows that training a muscle group two days in a row might, in some cases, produce the greatest gains. You can still make good gains over time if you are consistent. Looking to tighten your midsection?
