How many times a week can I workout the same muscle?

It depends on your goals so...

If you're trying to get bigger muscles...

Then you only want to work out the same muscle about 1-to-2 times a week or even less than that because you have to remember...

To get bigger muscles - you have to give your muscles time to rest after you workout to grow and get stronger (See how you get bigger muscles) but you have to get stronger each time you workout to get bigger muscles and usually...

The harder your workout is (meaning the heavier the weights you use & the more sets and reps you do) = the more time you need to rest a muscle so for example...

The best way to know for sure how many times a week you can work out the same muscle is...

If you have a hard time increasing the amount of weight, sets and/or reps you use for 2-to-3 workouts in a row then...

That's a real good sign you need to rest more in between your workouts to give your muscles time to get bigger and stronger so you can lift heavier weight, do more sets and/or reps to keep continually build bigger muscles so for example...

Whenever you find that you are not getting stronger each time you workout by not lifting heavier weight reps and/or sets then its best that you rest more and remember this...

If you are not getting stronger each time you workout...

Then you are not building bigger muscles because doing the same workout over and over with the same amount of weight, reps, and sets will give you the same results over and over and that's why...

If you just want to maintain your muscle size & strength...

You can do the same workout over & over using the same weight, reps, and sets once a week or even once a month to maintain the muscle size you have and you won't have to worry about losing much muscle mass unless you stop working out for a long time and...

If you want to firm up your muscles without building big muscles...

Hi Adrian,
I have been working out on and off for the last 2 years. Well from me losing fat, I have lost a lot of my butt so I have been looking over your site. I have been doing the bulgarian squats, elevated lunges, and so on. I have added weights to my butt routine but i notice that you say in order to build your butt muscle you have to keep moving up in weights. The heaviest that I can lift right now is 10 lbs. If i should choose to stay with the 10 lbs weights can I just do more sets and reps to keep gaining glute muscle or I need to keep moving up. Thank you.

You can do that but in my experience - you'll have to use more weight to increase size but...

why cant you use more than 10lbs?

Is it a equipment issue? - if so - just improvise and make weights out of other stuff

If it's a physical issue - then as you get stronger - you can go up in weight and get more results
