An example comparison ...

According to a meta-analysis (i.e. a scientific study of scientific studies), it does not matter:
In conclusion, there is strong evidence that resistance training
frequency does not significantly or meaningfully impact muscle
hypertrophy when volume is equated. Thus, for a given training volume,
individuals can choose a weekly frequency per muscle groups ...

There's people who train for a full time job, 6 to 10 hours a day 6 days out of the week, often divided into multiple sessions per day.
