When to Move to 4x/week

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

In line with the topic, I also purchased a new template during the big sale (STR II) to prepare for the inevitable switch to a 4x/week strength training schedule…
I noticed that the volume in that template is waaaaay more than what I can tolerate now.

That said, I’m pretty sure it will be a while before I do 4x/week, but what other “signs” (if any, besides stalling) would we look for to determine that 4x/week training is needed to continue with strength improvements?

Lack of progress that doesn’t respond to changing exercises, average intensity, and/or increases in volume within the 3x/wk constraints would be a good sign.

Is there a training age range when you typically see this happen?

Not reliably, no.

Got it. Thanks!
