High-Frequency Training Concepts and Strategies

An Essay on HFT Ideas for Achieving Your Physique Goals      In my recent article High-Volume, High-Frequency Workouts for Quick Mass Gains , I outlined a training routine that uses high volume as the primary training variable with high frequency the 2nd.  For anyone who likes to train with a lot of volume and particularly loves getting a “pump” while training, I would suggest giving that regimen a chance, especially if you’re new to training with both high volume and frequency and aren’t quite sure where to even start with high-frequency training (HFT).  In this essay, however, I want to present some different ideas for other ways that you might utilize HFT, notably if you like the idea of experimenting with new and/or different training strategies that you haven’t utilized before.  If you’re new to training, you probably need to get on a more detailed, regimented program, one where you don’t have to put a whole lot of thought into your workout...

The Bulgarian Way

Big Beyond Belief and the 6 “Bulgarian Principles” for Strength and Muscle Growth Plus, Real Bulgarian Training      For a couple of decades now, I have pushed the methods that I believe to be the best for fast gains in muscle mass, strength, and power.  Unless this is your first time visiting this blog or reading any of my articles, then you are already well aware of what these methods are.  I believe, without a doubt, that high-frequency training (HFT) where you train a muscle group or lift at least 3 times per week, along with full-body workouts, and multiple sets of low reps are the superior methods.  There are many different workouts, however, that you can follow that use these methods.  Most of my personal training, and the methodology that I have used to train lifters I’ve worked with over the years, has utilized, primarily, Bill Starr’s heavy-light-medium system, along with various Russian methods, in addition to the powerlifting ...
