Hi Folks,
I wonder if there's anyone who ever heard (or actually did it himself) of splitting the sessions onto the rest of the week?
I.e. splitting monday volume to monday & tuesday....wednesday to wednesday and thursday, etc. So actually high freaquency?
Or will that provide to small of a stress stimulus on each of the days?

In my opinion will not hinder nor improve progress. But if it had to change something it will improve rather than hinder. All that matters is workload. And this change will not load the body more or less during a given weak.

The Norwegian powerlifting team is one of the strongest and smartest in the word, and they recently did a study on the effect of volume. They used two groups of athletes who performed the same volume over a prep cycle. One group did all of the volume in very few sessions, the other group spread the volume out over more sessions per week. For example the first group may have performed 6 X 5 on Monday. The other group would have done 3 X 5 on Tuesday and 3 X 5 on Thursday, so both groups did the same amount of volume. In conclusion, they found that the second group (higher frequency) made noticeably more strength gains than the first group (lower frequency). This means that doing the same amount of volume, but spreading it over more sessions may facilitate better strength gains.
This kind of goes against my previous post. Though I did mention that if they produce different results 6 day might be better. Charles Poliquin believes highly in this too.
