However, although an in - depth discussion on this topic is
far beyond the scope of this post, I do think it there is some relevance, and I'd argue that increased EMG levels do make a given exercise
more likely to be effective at developing a given
muscle group than exercises that show much lower EMG levels.
But, if you use devices that will help you focus on a specific
muscle group, you are
far more likely to be successful.
As
far as the frequency goes, training a
muscle group once every 5 — 7 days is actually safer and
more effective for advanced lifters than training it two or three times per week.
After a layoff the body's ability to produce force, have balance across the
muscle groups, cope with an hour or
more of intense exercise is diminished, how
far this is diminished is a result of many factors including the length of layoff, activity level during the layoff and the individual lifter.
