Episode notes

Today's episode is the third in a five-part series all about program design. For this episode, we will focus on training frequency. To listen to the first two parts, head over to episode 47 and episode 48 where we discuss training volume and training intensity. Today, Sue, Alex, and Austin go into detail on what actually is training frequency and discuss factors we look at when formulating a training split.

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let’s get into today's episode.
