Higher training frequency (2 days per week) may provide a slight benefit in some outcome measurements.
Consider incorporating higher training frequency for potentially better outcomes.

- Training muscle groups 1 day per week vs. 2 days per week does not result in significant differences in maximal strength, muscle thickness, or muscle endurance in trained men after 8 weeks.Strong
