Content: An added bonus: Training hard twice per week gives your body adequate time to recover, Golian says. Many people — especially those new to lifting — tend to overtrain, which can delay your progress. If you’re looking to bulk up or train for intense lifting competitions or obstacle course races, adding additional days of training can be helpful but not always necessary, Golian adds. She has clients who train up to four times per week but cautions that stress from additional training sessions can be harsh on your body. It’s important to speak with a trainer and create a program that suits your individual goals. Lifting weights three times per week
