What's going on, Bisha's welcome to the Daily Soul podcast, episode 3228. Today I want to talk about

training splits. And specifically, I want to talk about the frequency of a training split. Now,

what most people think about training frequency, when I say how often do you train, people think

about how many times a week, do I train once a day, do I train four times a week, five times a week,

whatever. When we're talking about frequency, we're talking about how often you are trained Do I train once a day? Do I train four times a week, five times a week, whatever?

When we're talking about frequency, we're talking about how often you are training a specific body part in a training cycle. Now, you don't have to go based off a week. And what you should be

thinking about is how often you can train a body part. And then we can talk about how often you should be training a body part.

Now, you should be training a body part as often as it can take additional stimulus.

Because the more frequently you can train it, the more frequently you can provide a stimulus

to a body part, the more rapidly it's going to grow.

You don't want to wait four days to hit a body part again when you can

hit it in two days and then you can get twice as much stimulus. And this comes down to the training

intensity and the training volume. So I personally think people should be training more intensely.

You should be training probably within a rep or two of failure.

It's much harder with lighter loads to determine how many reps you have in reserve,

which is why I like to train heavier.

And I go anywhere between four and eight repetitions,

and I can pretty easily gauge a zero to a one RIR.

And usually I go to zero RIR, which is essentially failure.

In other words, I would not get another rep.

The reason I train like that is because I like to.

So because I like to train closer to failure, because I tend to go towards
