Many people lose their motivation for training due to not seeing results quickly enough. Though this may be due to unrealistic expectations or impatience, there is also the probability that what they are doing is less than optimal if not simply unproductive altogether. There were many years I spent training where I was not realizing the progress I wanted. I had tried all manner of training routines in the name of getting stronger, growing muscle, and improving my fitness. I discovered these routines from word of mouth, personal trainers, bodybuilding magazines, and books on strength training that swore they would reveal the “secret” to success. After following these various routines, none of them seemed to deliver as promised. All my sources failed to get me results, even after faithful and diligent adherence to the plan. As I have since learned, there was in fact a missing link to these training plans – a simple “key” that, once learned, would give me the success I was looking for. If you are stuck in a training rut, this key may be what you have needed to get unstuck.
Frequency of Personal & Training
The missing piece holding most people back from achieving their goals is adequate training “frequency”. Most of the popular strength training information available today does not prescribe the proper frequency to elicit results for many people. Training the same movements and/or body parts once or twice each week is simply not often enough. Some very fortunate and highly training-sensitive people may make gains doing this, but I am not writing this article for them. I’m writing it for people like you and me who are completely average or below average in how our bodies respond to training stimuli. When I started to train the same body parts and perform the same exercises three times per week as opposed to only one or two times, my body started to respond in the way I had been wanting. My strength was rapidly increasing, and the weights began to feel lighter. I was beginning to increase bodyweight, and visible muscle growth was becoming evident after about five weeks of increasing frequency. In time, I applied this increase in frequency to my clients’ training programs as well and found they had consistent success. The workouts were rather simple compared to some of the elaborate routines I had followed in the past. I had traded complexity and “fancy” looking programming for cleverly simple but effective programming. Once I implemented this three-times-per-week frequency, it soon became obvious this was the missing link. In retrospect, it’s almost embarrassing how simple the solution was and how complicated I had made it.

The key to getting unstuck from my training rut was to simply perform the same exercises more often. I decreased the number of sets of each exercise per workout and just started doing them more often across the week. I have found that three times per week for most exercises is optimal. Just doing the same movements a little more often is all it took. Of course, with so many training variables that influence a person’s rate of progress, there is no “one-size-fits-all” fix to optimizing anyone’s training. I had discovered, though, that this is what is missing from most programs that are not producing results. If you are frustrated and feeling stuck, try this simple solution and see if it gets you moving in the right direction. If increasing training frequency is not the fix for you, do not give up. With persistence, you will eventually figure it out. The solution is probably simpler than you think.
