If you're working on improving squat strength, then you probably do want to squat more than once per week because it practicing the movement is important.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So I want to make sure that like I wasn't saying you have to train a muscle 85% every single day to get it strong. Two is a good number. Three is great, but probably even two is really effective.
so if you want to get stronger at squatting squat twice a week if you recover well and you squat well your mechanics are well three days a week that would be a really really really good program but you could get very strong very strong doing two days a week
so what you want to do though is get as close to that as you can while not inducing overload injury uh all that stuff so realistic scenario probably something like one to five um days per week um you you work that movement pattern
