What's best: To work out sparingly at top performance every time, or more often?

[Rami]

Max performance, fewer workouts, or workout more often while not being 100% peaked.

How should we approach this?

[OTHstrong]

max of course

[US MUSL]

More frequent for the natural trainer.

[Griffith]

Max performance.

[Thick Nick]

For long term health...train more but lighter, cardio etc.

For building muscle... Train your balls off 3 times a week.

If you chose the latter, welcome to arthritis and nerve issues at 40 like me.

[HonestBob]

Define max performance?

That issue aside the best thing to do is to periodise so that you peak at one aspect of performance (if we think bodybuilding then you run a 3 week training cycle where you can accumulate more volume / load / tension etc) briefly and then take the foot off the gas with that one aspect and work on peaking at another.

Give it 25 years... Then get back to us. I didn't have issues either during my hey day. And 25 years of training is not a Getbig exaggeration... It's literal. Getting old is a fucking bitch.

Been lifting max weights over 30 years and in the shape of my life. Zero aches and pains. A healthy lifestyle is the fountain of youth.

you guys 

how would you work out at peak performance and at the same time work out more frequently than where you are at peak performance

[Simple Simon]

I used to train 4 days a week back when i was competing in the 90s but I train 5 days a week now, just go in and burn out a couple of bodyparts.

good post

[Army of One]

Pretty much been established by studies that on drugs train a bodypart once a week as protein synthesis is raised far longer than if natty, if natty then better off doing full body 2-3 times a week with lower volume.

great post

[Natural Man]

not sure what is best for muscle growth... I d say best would be to train at max and often while eating a lot , take steroids, but for some normal 9 to 5 average joe like with a family life, none of this is realistic so i have to settle with training as often as possible at low/medium intensity for short amounts of time.
