Is it true that you have to train body parts 2-3 times a week for max gains and that waiting a whole week before training a body part just slows down your progress?

No, you don't actually lose gains until 2-3 weeks or so iirc. You should work everything twice a week though

>Does training a certain body part only once a week compared to 2-3 times a week mean less gains?
What does common sense tell you, pal?
>>35642931
He didn't say anything about losing gains.

Supposedly yes, but then again bros have been doing brosplits for years and making gains
No, you should squat at LEAST three times a week. Don't forget your deadlifts too. Don't listen to every ripped dude in the gym that's on a bro split. They're the exceptions. ;)

i had my best gains working out 3 times every two weeks. I just did compound exercises.
In fitness, there is this bodybuilding mentality, that you need to 15 sets for every body part, and that just isn't true.
You can probably get awesome gains lifting once a week.
Studies done on Norwegian powerlifters showed that pretty much the more often you train the better.
So instead of having on heavy ass workout it was better to have 3 medium ones.
yes, higher frequency will induce hypertrophy more effectively. It depends what your goals are though. If you're strength training, training a part multiple time a week will be counterproductive. If you're bodybuilding, more frequency is better.

shouldve put an asterisk next to your entire post
*this is only acceptable for nooby lifters. If you're squatting 300+ lbs three times a week and deadlifting 400 lbs three times a week, ur finna get rekt.

are you asking out of curiosity? or does you schedule only allow you to workout a certain amount?
