If someone doesn't mention a detail, assume they meant "whatever is standard". All beginner strength training programs recommend 3x per week, do they not? >> if you're recovering well > > I’ve been strength training for 20 years and even I’m unsure what this means. Recovery in strength training means eating, sleeping and resting worked muscles for at least a day (i.e., don't work the same muscle on consecutive days). I think it's safe to assume they meant "if you're eating and sleeping well, and resting muscles appropriately". |

Okay, but only if we agree on what is “standard”?
My standard routine is every other day. (And that’s just my regularity, I’ve yet to even mention what lifts I do)
Is that what both you and the op meant for your “standard”?
Just read this thread. I’ve seen other people in this thread say “once a week” and “three to four time a week”, and “for 30 minutes”, and on and on.
Let go of this assumption that anything is “standard” and simply explicitly state your own advice. It is more helpful.

In truth when op said “recovering well” I thought they meant the autonomic side of things.
Your interpretation of it being solely about my active efforts to recover being the definition of “recovering well” was completely lost on me; further making my point that the op was ambiguous.
But all good advice on aiding recovery! I’d add, stay hydrated!
