The X account behind the post also runs a YouTube channel under the handle "Micheal D" that publishes workout and lifestyle videos. (youtube.com) The American College of Sports Medicine published an updated position stand on resistance training on March 17, 2026 that highlights consistency as the primary driver of gains and summarizes evidence from more than 30,000 participants. (acsm.org) NHS guidance and affiliated hospital materials note measurable strength improvements commonly show up in about 6–8 weeks while increases in muscle size can take roughly 12–26 weeks under regular strength training. (uhsussex.nhs.uk) Industry fitness guidance frequently endorses full‑body, three‑sessions‑per‑week templates built around six core movements; the BuiltWithScience full‑body routine explicitly prescribes six main lifts plus a bonus and recommends training 3x/week. (builtwithscience.com) High‑reach fitness creators using the 3x/week, six‑exercise format have large audiences—Jeremy Ethier’s recent 3x/week six‑exercise video has surpassed about 1.6 million views on YouTube—illustrating the format’s traction across platforms.
