Once-a-Week Training for Mass
Can you really add muscle with once-a-week training?
KEY POINTS

Content: Within the younger group, there was a dose-response that indicated that the group that exercised once a week but maintained the exercise volume continued to increase muscle size; however, the group that exercised once a week and reduced volume maintained size. In the older group, no group maintained muscle size. KEY POINTS
Once-a-week training with sufficient volume is able to increase muscle mass in younger but not older adults. Bodybuilders may be able to train once a week and make considerable gains in size and strength. Older adults likely require more frequent training to maintain muscle mass gained from resistance exercise.
