How many times per week should a muscle be trained to maximize muscle hypertrophy? A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies examining the effects of resistance training frequency

What this work gives Aellic

With weekly volume equated, training frequency has no meaningful influence on hypertrophy. THIS is the source for Aellic's decision not to score frequency separately — not the 2016 predecessor, which was wrongly cited for it until 2026-07-25.
