They're just more conducive to training a muscle frequently.

And this doesn't get talked about enough.

There's an art to training frequently.

So when men, we grew up in the, we're almost the same age.

We're both 49 right now.

We grew up where bodybuilders trained legs one day a week.

you know, everyone trained, you had your body part split routine where you train a muscle one day and then you damage the hell out of it and you need a whole week to recover.

The workouts back then were like four sets of squats, four sets of stiff leg deadlifts, four sets of leg press, four sets of leg extensions, and then maybe two types of leg curls or something.

And then you'd be annihilated for the whole week.

Can that work?

Yes.

The bodybuilder's got big legs back then.

But

I think better results are seen when you don't go so crazy.

So you're saying, okay, my girls train, my programs and my glute squad, I have one in San Diego, one in Florida.

They train their legs.

They train lower body three times a week.

They do one squat pattern, a squat lunge pattern.

Per workout?

Yep, one and three sets.
