You do NOT need to train every muscle twice a week to make great gains. Everyone repeats this like it's some kind of special rule, and acts like anything less means you're leaving tons of growth on the table. That is bullshit, and you can go lower than you probably think. Now, hitting a muscle 2 or even 3 times a week works really well. For example, upper/lower 4 days a week or full body 3 days a week. Those are actually two of the most popular programs inside my TrainWise app. But as long as total weekly volume is matched, the long term difference between higher and lower frequencies is probably pretty small. One and a half times a week is still very solid, like rotating through upper/lower 3 days a week or legs/push/pull 4-5 days a week. And I know this is blasphemy to say nowadays, but yes, even once per week can still build a great physique. In fact, I built the majority of my muscle in the first 5 years doing exactly that because, I'm old, and training each muscle once a week was
