17-Muscle Fractional Recruitment & Weekly MEV–MRV Landmarks

Each working set ≥ RPE 6 triggers fractional hard-set credit toward Renaissance Periodization / Schoenfeld weekly hypertrophy landmarks.

Muscle Group Mechanical Role Effort Share Weekly Optimal Band (MEV–MAV) Frequency & Research
Hip Abductors Primary (1.0× set) 60% 4–12 sets/wk (MRV 16) 2–4x / week · Evidence
Glutes (Gluteus Maximus / Medius) Primary (1.0× set) 40% 4–16 sets/wk (MRV 20) 2–4x / week · Evidence
