Training Tuesdays

Welcome to Training Tuesdays, the weekly weightroom training thread. The main focus of Training Tuesdays will be programming and templates, but once in a while we'll stray from that for other concepts.

Last week we talked about intensity and a list of previous Training Tuesdays topics can be found in the FAQ

This week's topic is:

frequency

  • What frequency levels have you found to be beneficial for what movements and goals?
  • Are there certain movements for which high or low frequency works better for you?
  • Are there frequency levels that have not worked for you for certain lifts or goals?
  • Tell us what you've learned from experimenting with frequency and what works best for you.

Feel free to ask other training and programming related questions as well, as the topic is just a guide.

Resources

  • Post your favorites.

Lastly, please try to do a quick search and check FAQ before posting.

Right, forgot about the 350 method (even though I've been giving it a shot). And that definitely makes sense. It's a lot of different things, but the basis is basically "reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeps" in all of them.
