Fewer workouts maintain strength training gains

No news here. Well known for a long time, despite what the researchers say.

"When the exercisers reduced their workout schedule to three sessions every two weeks for an additional 21 weeks, they continued to show gains in maximal strength over the first 10 weeks and these gains persisted until the end of the 42-week study."

But there was no continued improvement.

Maintenance always takes less effort than improvement.
