MindPump exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more... Hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer & Justin Andrews pull back the curtain on the mythology, snake oil and pseudo-science that pervades the fitness industry and present science-backed solutions that result in increased muscular development and performance while simultaneously emphasizing health. No fitness institution or fitness "truth" is safe from their quick wit and over 40 years of combined experience in the fitness industry. Produced by Doug Egge.

293: Frequency for Muscle Growth
How many times each week should you train a muscle? In the bodybuilding world there is a belief that intensity and recovery are key. This has led to the body part split where you blast a muscle group and then take days off from training that group to allow the muscle to recover. Studies are now confirming what Sal, Adam & Justin have been saying since the inception of Mind Pump, that more frequent stimulation of the muscle builds more muscle. In this episode they reveal why and what you need to know to successfully incorporate frequency into your workout regimen to increase your muscle growth. Please subscribe, rate and review this show!
