The Strength Phase on the Evolved Programs
On the heels of the metabolite training block, we now embark on the strength phase. Any athlete who has been training with a high level of intensity and volume would benefit substantially from implementing this short-term change in protocol. Steve Hall coined this...
Overload: Utilization of “Dynamic Double Progression”
Before we delve into the topic of HOW TO PROGRESS, we first need to discuss the actual meaning of PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, and the way in which we should conceptualize overload, in general. There is a pervasive belief in the training industry that progressive overload...
Metabolite Training (Metabolic Stress)
Spring/Summer 2020 consisted of an extremely productive focus on general hypertrophy across the Evolved Daily programs. The most recent macrocycle utilized a “Reverse Pyramid” approach to the accumulation period. Looking back further, it has been a great...
Framework for Implementation of Twice Daily Training
General Points of Concern 1. Splitting training into AM/PM sessions is NOT about increasing volume. It is instead just a way to split up the current volume you are doing. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS REQUIRED BY POINTS A and B BELOW 2. There are really only TWO...
Reverse Pyramid Cycle – April 2020
As the Powerbuilding cycle comes to a close, there should be increased strength, as well as a general sense of confidence with the heavier weight in the lower rep ranges. The Powerbuilding cycle had the lowest target reps for “repeating” movements of any Evolved cycle...Recent Posts
Linear Periodization Enhanced for Strength AND Hypertrophy
Linear Periodization (LP) is the original approach to periodizing training. It is the basis for so many other periodization models, …
