What is up, everybody? Welcome to the Renegade Shrank Show. The world renowned phenomenon.

The Renegade Shrank Show. I'm Jay Faruja, your host with the most.

Here to help you unleash your strong self, we got Q&A's today. I post on my Instagram stories once a week asking you guys to ask me something.

I hit you with the answers. I'll answer a few of those on the stories quickly and I'll go into a more in-depth answer here live on the show today.

That is what we are going to do. First up, is it productive to specialize in a lagging muscle group and do it more often, like two to three times a week?

Here's a deal. That can help. It can improve your form and your mind muscle connection. Sometimes it's not necessarily the extra frequency, but it's the extra practice because what is wrong is your technique.

You're going to fix your technique by doing something once a week. I don't think so. You wouldn't fix your basketball shot or your golf swing practicing it once a week or the guitar practicing it once a week.

So practice for most people that strength train, they're not good at strength training. So a once per week frequency per exercise, per body part, per moving pattern, whatever it is is not ideal.

Now that may come as a shock to some of you because for some more advanced guys, some older guys, I do like a once every five to seven day frequency. I enjoy it.

But again, most people are not good at it and strength training needs to be until you really get good at it and to your forms good and know what's going on.

It needs to be treated like practice back in the old days, George Hackenschmitt and Arthur Saxon, you know, in 1906 talked about how you want to treat training as practice, treat your workouts as practice, just like any other physical endeavor that you do.

And if you look at gymnasts, they are strength training, right, just with their body weight, but they do it every day to practice. So there are many benefits to higher frequency, even though sometimes I personally don't enjoy it as much.

I think it's great for most of the people most of the time, again, until you reach that level.

So let's say you suck at doing rows, right, never feel your back. It's all biceps. You are internally rotated. You over pole, your chest caves in, you shrug.

You just can't target your lats. You can't really feel anything in your upper back. Again, it's all biceps. So rowing once a week, stupid idea, bad idea, rowing twice a week, better idea, rowing three times a week, probably a better idea.

Just so we can get better at doing it. So again, any physical endeavor you're going to do more often until you get really good at it, you know, football practice.

And again, sometimes people are like, well, strength training is hard on the body. Yes, it is. It can be. It depends. All these things depend. But if you're strength training, I'm sorry, if you're playing football, you're practicing every single day.

So that means, you know, if you're training with more frequency, you're probably not doing as much volume, you're not going as heavy, you're not going as close to failure.

Smart approach. So it's a kind of football practice, right? You practice, you don't kill yourself. You don't put on full pads and destroy yourself seven days a week. You destroy yourself one day at a seven on game day.

So again, you know, frequency is going to be better for learning. So most people have horrible technique. They need more practice, which is yes, why you should train body parts more frequently.

So if you have a lagging muscle group, the problem might not be that you need to expose it to more frequency. You might be able to hit it once every five to seven jobs, five to seven days and do the job.

But you're not doing the job, not because the intensity is not there, not because you're not lifting heavy enough, you're choosing the wrong exercises. Those, those boxes may be checked, the problem is your execution just sucks.
