How often you lift weights with any set of Troy Barbells, will depend on the types of training you’re doing. When you are following a total-body program, you will probably need at least a day off between your workouts, and you should lift 2 to 3 times a week. When following a split-routine and lifting for different muscles on alternating days, 4 days a week should be the choice.
Changing how often you exercise will change the format of your workouts, pushing you past your plateau. A couple of suggestions to change up your workout: First, try a split-routine, by changing from a total-body training routine to split-workouts will allow you to do more exercise and focus more on each muscle group. Next, try a total-body program, because if you’ve been doing a split-routine, going back to a total-body training routine can be refreshing and a great way to lighten up on your training schedule a few weeks.
