How many times a week should I do strength training?

Strength Training

For optimal strength gains, aim to do strength training 2-4 times per week. This frequency allows for proper recovery while still building muscle. Key tips:

  • Rest between sessions: Give each muscle group at least 48 hours to recover.
  • Focus on different muscle groups: Alternate upper body, lower body, and core to avoid overtraining.
  • Progressive overload: Gradually increase weight or intensity to keep seeing results.
  • Listen to your body: If you're feeling fatigued, take an extra day off to recover.
