The honest answer?
It depends.
It depends on where you’re starting.
If you’ve been training consistently for years, your body can usually handle—and benefit from—more volume. But if you’re just getting started (or getting restarted), more is not better. Consistency is.
At Electrica, we typically coach our established members to train 3 days per week. That’s a sweet spot: enough stimulus to keep getting stronger and healthier, while still allowing for recovery so your body can actually adapt.
For newer clients, we usually recommend starting with 2 sessions per week.
Here’s why that matters more than you think:
Two workouts per week equals 104 workouts in a year.
Think about that for a second.
If you had trained 104 times this past year, do you think you’d feel stronger, healthier, and more confident than you do right now?
Most people would.
But here’s where people get stuck:
They tell themselves that 2 days per week “isn’t enough,” so they don’t start at all. And doing nothing will always lose to doing something consistently.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t need to train every day.
You just need a plan you can actually stick to.
Let’s not let “it’s not enough” be the reason nothing changes this year.
Consistency wins. Every time.
