Muscle building per workout
This is probably a stupid question. But do you get 'gains' (visible or otherwise) per-workout? I read that your muscles start to deteriorate after 2-4 weeks of inactivity and I was wondering if working out once per-week would illicit gains, hypertrophic or strength-wise, or if that would only be good for maintenance.
If I worked out once a week for 2 years, ate slightly higher than my calorie maintenance dose, and got my macros, how much better shape would I be in when that two years was up. Would I have gained much muscle, more strength, or... ?
I don't plan on doing this lmao, I've been a 3 day / week guy for about half a year now and before that I was a 5-6 day a week kinda guy but mostly did cardio. I'm just curious.
