Harrassing...lol You took my statement out of context. I said the more advanced you become, the more frequent u need to train. If you are elite, the optimum is 12 sessions a week. Whether or not Usain Bolt or any other elite athlete does 12 sessions I don't know. Btw, you need to chill out, Fred. Too much of the wrong type of stress is not optimal for your muscle development.
fhl claimed I was "harassing" you. I just threw it back at him. No harm intended. All well and good. But you have not provided any evidence of legitimate scientific research that concludes 12 sessions a week of strength training are optimal for ANYONE, be they just weekend warriors like me or world-class athletes. Very true. I just don't like my well-intentioned threads to be intentionally trashed.
You've been saying that low frequency produces gains and when you use it all you get is maintenance. Because you're so developed that it isn't physically possible to achieve further growth.
I think you're at least as old as I am. And so, are you continually getting bigger and stronger? If people were capable of getting stronger indefinitely, as you seem to suggest, then why do we not see competitive Olympic lifters at their peak in their 60s and beyond, outdoing their younger competitors and their own previous records? Explain that to me, would you?
