Building muscle may take anywhere between 12 and 16 challenging sets per muscle group. However to maintain muscle mass you may only need ¼ that amount of volume, meaning that if you trained 16 hard sets to build your chest, you might only have to train 4 challenging sets to maintain it.
The takeaway from this is that something is better than nothing. If you have a hectic week don’t use it as an excuse to not go to the gym. Just train in an abbreviated fashion. This will prevent you from taking steps backward and allow you to maintain your progress.
Get out of the all or nothing mentality when it comes to fitness.
