Your optimal training frequency for the glutes: part II

  • The article provides insights into optimal training frequency for glutes, based on the Stimulus-Recovery-Adaptation (SRA) curve.
  • Key factors influencing the SRA curve include exercise type, muscle development level, and mental stress.
  • Advanced muscle development leads to shorter SRA curves, enabling more frequent training.
  • Mental stress can lengthen the SRA curve, reducing the optimal frequency of training.
  • The article includes calculators to estimate individual optimal training frequency by considering factors like body weight, ankle circumference, and the index-to-ring finger ratio.
  • Provides a detailed guide on assessing training status and adjusting workout frequency to prevent overtraining and enhance muscle growth.
  • Highlights that the principles outlined for glute training are applicable to all muscle groups.
