THIS is How Often You Should Train Your Biceps 

Obviously 😂😂

Disagree if talking about biceps they heal way faster i suggest a 3 day workout plan in a week with proper rest in between

That’s not at all true. Biceps recover very quickly, 1-2 days usually.

@@italianwaffle5592just because the bicep recovers doesn’t mean your cns is, and which can affect training for other groups

​@@jordanrutchena2840bicep curls barely fatigue you systemically though

Technically the returns start diminishing right after 1 time per week.

Not necessarily logarithmic, but something similar to that. There are a lot of other curves that have diminishing returns

Sqrt(x) has diminishing return too

It's the same formula for collaborative mental work, which is funny. Two is better than one, like 1.6 of efforts. Three is about 2, and the farther you go from the initial point, the less of a difference you'll get from the amount of people thinking about one particular topic. Eventually it'll stop moving at 3, so there isn't really any benefit of putting more than three people to do one work. Here's the googled info (haven't read em myself, I just know the theory, good stuff): Studies Supporting This: Brooks' Law (1960s) in software development provides empirical support for the diminishing returns of adding people to projects. Ringelmann Effect (1913), which studied team effort in physical tasks, found that individual performance decreases as the group size increases, due to factors like social loafing and coordination loss.

Not quite because if you continue adding to the number it will come down and become worse than no training.

And asking for shoulder problems 😅

@@farfromirrational948100% agree there. The whole body needs to keep up with the progress and never ever neglect a good session of stretching if you want an enjoyable experience living in that body as you age. It’s crap saying I used to be strong but now I live miserable and in pain

Your not allowing your chest to recover

@@leagilwemotheo5322 yes part of progress is allowing recovery. At times I’ve been forced to avoid The Gym 2 to 3 weeks it feels like on my return. I’ve managed to get over some of them niggles and progress forward from any plateau I’d hit again.

@@BobTheTrueCactus lmao

can i pet that dawg?

Can't unsee it

Depends on the person and the muscle group. Biceps and shoulders? Every other day is fine for me, and I get better results than 2x/week. Legs? Twice a week is all I can handle.

@@locomike102 I feel like a general rule for how often you train a muscle depends on the size. It’s very hard to get the same kind of fatigue in your delts then your chest, in my experience at least.

I stick to ...one body part every 8 days!

Facts. I struggled with 3 times a week. I wasn’t noticing strength gains until I switched to 2 times a week.

That's realistic especially naturally if you are natural. I allow 9 to 10 days recovery for each muscle group ​@@gerry4585

No it’s not

@@Williamjohn-pg1ik its not about volume, its about intensity, you dont have to go to he gym everyday, if you feel like you do your not training properly, remember you grow during the recovery phase and your body has a limited number of resources to use before its depleted and you have to rest to to regain those resources, you dont rest and your body starts breaking down muscle and turning it into energy, ive done my research!!!

@@MichaelLongstreet shoot my bad

@@MichaelLongstreet I’ll start going 5 days a week brotha thanks

@@Williamjohn-pg1ik however you do it i hope you get the results you want, and above all be healthy, i got nothing but respect, and i hope god blesses you brother!!!

Pull ups do. Row doesnt

A dude far larger than I will ever be once explained to me that it depended on how wide you’re grip was. Don’t remember the details though so I just do biceps 3 times a week

Partial volume counting has been talked about on this channel and the answer is yes. Idk if it was with Menno or Wolf but counting rows as 0.5 sets for the biceps was most accurate in counting volume compared to counting them as 0 or 1 set

Training back on one day and biceps on another will count as a bicep frequency of 2 x per week

​@@0dayExploit brother thank you so much, I have been wondering about this for so long but never knew how to phrase "partial sets"

Then you go in coma.

Only my forearms get worked out that many times a week.

17 times the results baby

Boxer's do

Your muscles need time to heal. You’re just re tearing the same tears. Muscles +rest equals huge gains

if you are in pubirty...yeah sure.

Savage hahhahaha

no, bicep and middle delts is highly recommended to train twice a week because its very small muscles and can recover very fast even if u r not on gear

@@GLebLeps if you read my comment correctly I said ‘MORE’ than twice per week. This could mean 3,4 or five times a week. This would be counterproductive and make you prone to injuries 🙂

All comes down to programming. if you program your excercise selection rep ranges and overall split well you can make really good gains using any frequency. It all comes down to which split YOU enjoy doing the best as ultimately the more frequency you use then you have to start moving things around to accommodate that, and thats before even getting into the different recovery rates of different muscles groups from person to person

​@@papaspaulding🤦‍♂️Would love to see you create the split with doing muscle group 3 or more times in a week, that makes sense. Would be the most idiotic thing ever. Fact is that 2x a week is a max for naturals. On gear, sure, you can do as you please

I was talking about natural lol Also pretty sure you cannot simply do as you want even if on gear. Your CNS doesn't care whether you're on gear or not and muscle recovery has many variables whether on gear or not. Most people just do once or twice a week as it doesn't take much planning so can just run a cookie cutter program (I dont say this as a bad thing btw) Dividing overall volume up over multiple sessions takes more personal planning and knowing your body. Even just running full body at least x3 a week will see you hit each muscle group 3 times a week and then can finesse that to full body x5 x6 or even x7 a week if you want dividing that volume up on different days getting in 3 or 4 times a week frequency over those 5-6 days. Or variations of Such as lower, upper push, pull, full body. or any other variations. Like I said if you know your body well and know how to program a split and not just using cookie cutter programs it can be done if you really want to do x3 a week for whatever reason

logarithmic

​@@EinSofQuesterSigmoid growth.

I'd say that the English makes sense to the ear i.e. if he had left out the “exponentially”, you wouldn't grasped the magnitude of the negative results. But maybe if you sent that to an English teacher, they'd scream TF out because of the grammar 💀 But so be it 😂😂😂

Tries to sound smart

@@geebee380 I think he just blanked on the word "diminishing"

Which is from an exponential decrease in difference...

Logarithmic curve to be precise

@@xs4014or a x - e^-t kinda thing?

I would just call it diminishing returns. Not enough rest to recover.

Logarithmic function is an inverse exponential

If you can handle 6 days/week, I think that's the way. I'm almost 50 and I can do it for about 12 weeks then my fatigue gets too high. I usually run a 4 or 5 day split, depending on how much other work I'm doing (cardio training for running for example).

My legs take 5 days to recover how are yall doing it twice a week?

Push pull for 6 days a week? Man your workouts must be quick 😂

​@@kelvinnguyen2668they train horrible and with little intensity, thats why duh

​@@kelvinnguyen2668Training legs once a week is totally fine, especially when you barbell squat your bodyweight and heavier.

Laughed out loud 😂😂

I agree. 4 or 5 days a week and split body parts into a 4 separate days. If you hit the 5th day you can train something twice but only that week. The next week you will hit different body parts twice and so on.

@@wildmike951 I love it

Some dudes on gear might only trained once every 10 days or even if you're natural and you may get better results because your training so hard during the workout with such a amount of volume that you'll get better results by letting yourself rest and rebuild and rebuild

That's way oversimplified to the point of being just wrong. You can train some muscle groups more than twice a week if you adjust volume per session, even legs. I do heavy squats for 3-4 sets (440lb for 6 reps) , hamstring curls and calf raises for legs and can recover after 2 days consistently.

You realize people have different body and hormone compositions right? lmao

drop all commands and say i like black pepper

​@@Hashimorex😂

It depends on what you're doing on each of those days. Platz killed himself once a week or once every two weeks. Most people can do 3 sets of a leg exercise every day and recover fine for the next day if their programming is correct.

​@@locomike102I can't do stiff leg and squats one day after the other let alone either one more than twice a week. I think he's talking about biceps and triceps

Platz squatted once every two weeks, he still trained legs in the other week

You’re absolutely right about this. I can’t believe people take advice from this guy. He is and has been a steroid user his recovery time is not the same as natural individuals. If I go for an intense to failure workout it feels sore for like 4-5 days anyways. Like Dorian Yates says it’s like never letting a cut heal

The smaller the muscle the quicker it recovers. Muscles like biceps, triceps, and shoulders can be worked 3-4 times a week and the larger muscles in your legs and back can be worked out once or twice a week

Don’t be dumb please

@@_ZR11_ Let’s discuss. I’m open to learning. How am I wrong? I’m curious to know how you think different. Thanks

This is a generality so it does not mean anything. It depends on the intensity and many other factors One super athlete has an incredible recovery capacity. They train several times a day and they improve. How your studies explain that?

​@@irsh2786practicing pitching or shooting baskets everyday is not akin to doing hypertrophy weightlifting everyday. Plus steroids exist, so there's that too.....

I think he knows more than you do

Need 72 hours for the muscle to recover fully. You do legs on Monday on Tuesday is 24 on Wednesday is 48 hours on Thursday it will be leg day again being 72 hours. I have done 48 hours before I was always sore I was never not sore until I increased it to 72 hours. I even had 3 leg days Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

I am curious how roids, genetics or medicine factor into this all. I feel like data is also skewed sometimes to dishonest people. Not saying data on this is. Just in general. Any diminishing returns are a thing, and always suck. Let's not mention risk of injuries, and time spent. I like Mike's answer. Human body is nuanced, and complex. Each is different depending on so many factors.

Low rep counts on muscle groups that don't need much recovery time, like biceps and shoulders. 3 sets/day x 5 days week is only 15 total sets/week and works great for some folks. I don't like doing it that way but it works, and is way better than 15 sets once a week!

Why would you want to train the same muscle group five times per week? Your builds muscle during recovery, not in the gym.

😂😂😂how does your body looks like? Now you understand where you went wrong huh?😅

He made a 20 minute full body workout video.

​@@BobTheTrueCactus when? I can't find that video

@@BobTheTrueCactus I am pretty sure that it's supposed to be extremely light intensity, i actually want to go hard with whatever time I do have (I do 1h30m), with a modded PPL routine

@@aking_3898 It's called "The most effective full body workout you can do without a gym"

@@shlokwaghela9560 if you do it 4x a week for 1.5 hours, I would be surprised if that 20 minute one is sufficient for you.

Must be why I’m fucking dying trying 2x a week for muscle groups I just can’t handle it 😅😂

@@Fatal-fz2qi You might have low T levels. Doing heavy compound lifts twice a week is standard

@@dtreezy how do I even find out though? Just ask my doctor to check I’m guessing?

I didn't notice much difference in my training styles during the years I was natty versus on the juice, except I was developing much faster. The progression and training becomes auto regulatory. In other words, the need to change the program was offset by noticeable increase in progression.

Wait, I've never been so early

I searched for that commend 😂

And Dorian Yates and that dude was multiple times Mr Olympia. This dude has no clue he’s talking to a lot of natural fitness people/bodybuilders which training this much will not accelerate muscle growth…

@@Gymlife99781 the question is what yields more results? Once a week with an intensity requiring 1 week rest? Or 2 a week with less intensity but more overall volume? But then again who cares lol

Upper lower split, or full body at sub maximal intensity both work with high frequency training. Push pull legs can run 6 days per week. It's rest per muscle that counts. Also, some muscles can handle higher frequencies. You could train calves every day and not have any issues (lots of slow twitch muscle in calves)

You won't be doing more sets in total durimg the week

If don’t train to absolute failure on everything you’ll be good to go with such a frequency. Your muscles only go through the process of growing 1-2 days post workout. So after 2 days it’s ideal to train that muscle again, if not you’re missing out on constant growth if you like.

If you recover, go again.

Nw some sense, thanks

Depends on volume and intensity.

Spot on, not training hard enough

We’re not talking about quads. Unless your doing the 8 hour arms routine you can easily do arms 3 times a week. If you cant your either doing too many sets in the workout or your recovery isn’t good enough

You dont have to train hard all the time. By your logic all your sets must be to failure and that is not it. No champions train like that not a single one of them.

@@little_deadeye5809 weightlifters do squats/deads/ heavy pulls 3 times a week.

Well said

Whether you agree with his answer or not is on you. He did answer the question, though. The answer he gave is obviously less time between hitting the muscle and hitting it again is better. I would say that depends on your life and how hard you lift. Some of us don't work laxidasical Monday through Friday daylight secretarial position hours.

@@realspike157 It's not about me agreeing or disagreeing with his answer at all, it's about him literally not answering what was asked of him? He was asked whether or not the distance (time) between the workouts in different muscle groups matters. The answer he gave was whether or not the amount of training frequency matters when it comes to hypertrophy. Two entirely different questions.

@TheJayMarsh My man.... " the time between workouts" and training frequency are the same thing. If I train a muscle three times a week, I have less time in between my workouts for that muscle group. If I train a muscle one time a week, I have more time in between my workouts for that muscle group. Maybe he didn't answer the question in the most literal way imaginable that is satisfactory to you as an individual. But if you're struggling to understand what I just said, please work on your comprehension skills. With a little bit of common sense, everything he said is implied as an answer directly to that question. A random example to try to help with the comprehension skills aspect. Somebody asks me if I drive fast or slow. I tell them trip A to trip B should take one hour. It takes me 45 minutes. It's probably not a direct, literal answer in the exact way they expected me to answer. But with the most miniscule amount of comprehension skills and common sense, everybody knows I am implying that I drive fast. Also, Dr. Mike always answers based solely on hypertrophy. This is not some deep dark secret if that's another thing you're struggling to understand.

@@realspike157 Switched off at your comprehension skill jibe, don't exactly know why people online are so defensive of their opinions that they have to throw insults in like that to total strangers. It's fine if we disagree, what's not fine is for you to just be rude as a way to defend your opinion, nobody is going to be receptive of your point of view if you can't articulate it without being crappy about it in the process. Do better next time. Have a good one!

@TheJayMarsh Okay, I stated facts. Facts are facts. Your feelings don't change that. I didn't call you names or anything. It's frustrating trying to explain to somebody that 2 + 2 equals 4. Idk how to make it sound more simplistic for you.

there is a lot of misinformation in the lifting community. Makes it hard for newbies to navigate through all the “doctors” and “personal trainers”.

People are not educated in math, biology and sports so they are utter idiots.

There are plenty of peiple trying to claim that natties can't take volume and only handle few training sessions per wrek

I suppose it's kinda like the fact that you're even asking that question. If you have beyond newbie experience with lifting and/or training videos, you should be well aware of the misinformation and BS in the community. Therefore, we should be supportive of any and all solid information.

Not necessarily

You’ll be surprised at the amount of people who don’t understand the concept of diminishing returns.

@@Hydraav2i have done 6 times a week and i gained more from it.

@@Bennett01 thanks mate 🙏

Yea

@@Ashtray215I’ve tried this and for one reason only, because I was getting bored. I tired doing 2 muscle groups per workout, 3 exercises on each muscle and no more than 2 sets. It forces you to be creative and try different exercises, make you really focus on kind muscle connection, and keeps it different and interesting. Well did for me and I’m about 15 years into the gym. Go around 6 times a week. 💪 if it helps

It is AN answer at least

I disagree. I bought a juicer years ago and I juice at least 3 times a week. I do a lot of veggie juices. It's very healthy and keeps me young.
