FAQs: “How should I structure my lifting? Should I train every day? How often should I take off?”
-
There’s a number of ways to break this down but before anything we to determine our purpose so we aren’t just “working out” but TRAINING in a structured manner towards a specific objective.
-
I will assume that the general goal here is health, reduction in adiposity, strength, etc.. and NOT sport specific. With that out of the way, let’s break this down per week.
-
There are 3 simple ways to go about this. You could train full body, break up upper and lower or do a push, pull, lower split. There are many other ways but these 3 are simple and effective.
-
The how often and how much will be determined by fatigue accumulation and so some experimentation on your end will be necessary to determine your MRV or maximum recoverable volume. Then, we simply break that up either evenly, or in a way that it suits your day to day life. That way life doesn’t interfere with training and vice versa.
-
You generally want to have at least a day or two off between big clumps of training volume, not just for fatigue accumulation but because muscles, nerves and connective tissues all have varying MRVs. Some things take longer to recover than others.
-
All 3 (and others) are equally effective. You need to try it out for a training block, at least a microcycle or a few weeks and see how it suits you. If it’s sustainable, rinse repeat for several weeks until training gets stale and then reevaluate.
