Is it okay for girls to do strength training once every two days?

It is absolutely possible, but it is not optimal for all girls. The core depends on your current training foundation, goals and physical recovery ability.

When I first got into strength training, I trained my whole body with a coach for the first time. The next day I couldn't lift my arms when I got up, and I had to ask my roommate for help when I put on my underwear. It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that I finally came back to life. I would practice once every two days without stopping, and I wouldn't forget the power of the deadlift because I rested for too long, nor would I practice so hard that I would struggle to type on the keyboard at work. After three months, my back became a lot thinner, and I finally stopped wearing a sling.

However, an advanced girl who often goes to the gym feels that this frequency is too loose. She is now focusing on muscle building and shaping. She wants to raise her hip line by two centimeters, so she has long changed to split training. She trains hips, legs, shoulders, back, chest and arms separately. She only trains one part at a time. The target muscles need to be rested for 48 hours. Other parts can be arranged as well. She can train 4-5 times a week. The progress is indeed much faster than when I trained the whole body once every two days.

Don't blindly follow the advanced people's registration frequency. There was a little girl in the fitness group who had just practiced for two months. She was anxious to get the vest line and practiced 5 times a week. As a result, she started to suffer from insomnia within a month. Even her aunt postponed it for more than ten days. She went to the hospital for a check-up and it was said that overtraining caused the cortisol to spike too high. Instead, she stopped practicing and adjusted for almost a month before she recovered. It was not as practical as practicing steadily once every two days.

To put it bluntly, the logic of strength training is actually very simple. To put it bluntly, when we train, we tear out tiny damages to the muscle fibers. Muscle growth depends entirely on the body repairing these damages during rest. The repaired muscles will be thicker and more powerful than before. So no matter what frequency you choose, it is definitely right to leave about 48 hours of recovery time for the target muscles. Full-body training once every two days is just stuck at this recovery point. For novices and girls who usually don’t have much time to go to the gym, the price-performance ratio is really good.

If you have been practicing for three and a half months and find that you only have slight soreness and swelling the next day after practicing, and your normal work and walking up and down the stairs are not affected at all, and you still have a lot of energy, then you can slowly increase the frequency. If you are still sore after practicing for three or four days, or even have trouble sleeping and losing appetite for several days in a row, then once every two days is fine, not just once every three days. If you are really not sure, try the rhythm of once every two days for half a month. Every time you practice, you will be in good condition. If you can slowly increase the weight, continue to maintain it. If you feel that you are too busy and your energy is exhausted, it is not too late to increase the number of times. There is really no need to follow the "standard training plan" online. The best rhythm is the one that can be adhered to for a long time.
