Sorry, I had a Shooter McGavin moment there.
Science and studies are great, for those who have enough knowledge to benefit from them. Sadly, most people don’t and that’s why they end up taking things out of context and drawing faulty conclusions and that just causes more harm than good.
The rest of us who doesn’t have enough knowledge to actually benefit from all those fancy studies would do well to just stick with the stuff most people agree about and go from there. If more people understood that maybe we wouldn’t have so many damn myths.
There are merits to training your entire body 3 times per week and there are merits to training it once every seventh day.

Exactly. Unless you went to school or have some formal education that is directly related to understanding even what a study entails in detail, leave the interpretation of them to people who did.
That is not to say that lay people can not understand a study, but what we see here is only due to people with limited knowledge trying to step into a field that does require much education to even understand what is being studied and how.
A study does not give blanket unwavering fact on a mass scale. It’s relevance is strictly held in what/who is being studied, how they are being studied, and the variables manipulated in the study. You can’t use a study done on 60 year old cancer survivors and act like this relates directly to young bodybuilding males in perfect health.

Yep. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing in the hands of an idiot; especially an idiot who talks a lot.

So I jumped on the high frequency bandwagon recently and I’ve been working out each muscle 3 x a week. My strength gain progress seems to be REALLY slow though. In order to maintain good form and get enough reps I only seem to be able to add 1/3 of a pound each workout - so 1 pound a week. Is this the kind of progression thats to be expected once you are past the complete newbie gains stage of the game for a natural trainee?
High frequency training and optimal strength gains don’t go along too well. From the looks of it, it’s likely that you’re tapping into your recovery.
More info about your training template and your diet is needed to make a decent assessment.
What’s your goal?
heh yea I don’t know, I tried 1x a week that didnt work tried 2x a week not much luck there either. So now I’m at 3x a week and theres some progress albeit really slow lol
Workout is basically…
Rack chins
Dips
Military Press
DB rows
Shrugs
Flyes
Curls
2-3 sets 5-8 reps stopping at the point where another rep I would only get half or a quater rep without using sloppy form.
Edit: goal = same as most people here get as big and strong as I can lol.[/quote]
Sounds likes you may not have been hitting the weights hard enough at 2x a week if that wasn’t enough volume for you.
