Training frequency, put simply, is the number of times you train per week.
If you are finding that you have plateaued in your progression and can’t figure out why, then 1 thing to consider is to increase your training frequency - i.e. train more times per week than you currently are.
This is because what can happen when you have been using the same training frequency for some time is that you reach the ceiling of where that routine can take you.
When you reach this point it is then time to progress things and push yourself harder!
For example, if you are currently training 4 times a week - by moving things up to 5 times a week it will help you to be able to do the following:
You will also find that by upping your training frequency your body burns more calories. This in turn makes it easier to get leaner as a result of improved insulin sensitivity, elevated androgenic hormones, and obviously overall increased general energy use.
So my advice, if you have the time and capacity to go from 4 days training per week to 5 days training per week then DO IT!
You won’t regret it and will almost certainly see the benefits.
