Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is an oversimplification. 🔬 The total weekly training volume (sets x reps x weight) and training split are more important than the number of days you're in the gym. You can achieve excellent results training 3, 4, 5, or even 6 days a week, as long as your program is structured to allow for adequate recovery. Meta-analyses show little difference in muscle growth between different frequencies when weekly volume is the same. The key is stimulating muscles enough and then letting them recover.
