Utter horseshit. Anyone who is serious about powerlifting/running/triathalons/any fringe sport and wants to train more than 4x weekly will do it without any trouble. That isn’t to say it’s necessary or optimal, but the only reason I can think of for someone to even make a statement like that is to put an excuse in their pocket.

Seriously, was hard to not be the first one to comment on this. I know way too many professionals that train more than 4+ days a week. I cannot think of any job that would hold you undr that. Not having the determination/motivation to do so is entirely different.
I find 3 days a week is good for me right now.
More isn’t always better, it’s just more.

Felt like saying the same thing. It’s all about priorities. I trained just as often when working 80 hour weeks.
Ryan Celli lifts 3 days a week when he is powerlifting
Mon- SQ/DL
Wed- Bench, Shoulders, Triceps
Fri- Back Biceps
I was at my strongest on this
Mon- Bench
Tue- Squat
Wed- Accessory
Thu- Declines
Fri- Deadlifts
My best lifts are 625 SQ, 450 BP, 500 DL
4/week 60-90 minutes after warm-up
2 sessions of ~ 2hrs lifting per day, 3 days per week (AM/PM), training each lift (squat, bench + dl) each day, with either SQ + DL AM and BE pm or SQ AM and BE + DL pm, at varying intensities.
I find this prepares me very well for competition lifting (deads after squat) and it also gives me more recovery time. I add conditioning and GPP at the end of the PM session as required.
I think nutrition is key if you want to train multiple times per day.
Including GPP, I train about 15 hours per week.
