I've trained 5 days a week, I've trained 4 days a week, I've even trained 3 days a week, but it's down to the individual & how they adapt. I train twice a week, & yes, I follow compound movements because nobody can deny that lifting heavy weight (with textbook form) builds muscle.

It's all about trial & error TBH. I get overtrained very easily & I'm not being a big girl trying to 'tell myself' I'm overtraining, I know when I'm overtraining. I don't want to train when I'm overtrained, I hate the thought of going to the gym, I'm always fatigued - now why would I think like that when I love training?? Why wouyld I not want to train when I've been doing it for 5 years??

I know for sure that my intensity has increased by about 30% going twice a week because I feel fresh & raring to go. It's all swings & roundabouts.
