But that would be a very taxing workout, probably requires a coach to do properly.

And in general, most people are probably going to benefit from training two or three times per week minimum.

Okay.

It does seem to be the case lately that most of the papers, as I understand, point to every muscle should be trained twice per week.

perhaps not as intensely in the two workouts, but at least twice per week.

And you said three times per week is probably even more beneficial.

I like this lower, upper, lower, upper, lower, low, low, low, low, five days per week format that you listed out.

When I see that, I think, okay, lower body three times per week, wow.

Right now I train my legs once per week intensely.

So that's calves, tibs, hamstrings, quads, I know because of your tutorial, train adductors, the inner thighs and glutes, all in that one workout.

And then four or five days later, I do a sprint workout, which is my second leg workout.

It's not an in-gym workout, it's a sprinting workout.

training legs three times per week in the gym with weights and machines, et cetera, sounds like a lot.

So my question is for the three or even the two lower body workouts,

that men or women are doing, are they doing the same exercises in every one of those lower body workouts for the same muscle groups?

And in addition to that, are they hitting quads three times a week or twice a week directly?

Because many people can't recover or at least the soreness doesn't go away in between workouts.

So how are you splitting up lower body if somebody is training lower body two or three times per week?

So squatting three times per week, deadlifting three times per week.

What does that mean?
