Train Each Muscle Group About Twice Weekly
Use a roughly twice-per-week training frequency for each muscle group, with one session that directly targets it and, when helpful, a second stimulus coming indirectly from another workout or endurance session. This is a practical minimum effective dose for strength gains, and some people can benefit from a third weekly exposure if recovery allows.

“What's probably minimally viable, two, twice per week per muscle... Two is a good number. Three is great, but probably even two is really effective.”
