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, and it has been the most studied of the bunch. Common implementation of LP looks like this: Week 1: 10 Reps Week 2: 8 Reps Week 3: 6...
The 6-Week Metabolic Cycle
Following the 7-week strength cycle, we move directly into a 6-week “Metabolic” phase, starting with the typical Introduction/Deload week. After a strength cycle, work capacity is lower. This is a result of the lower reps and less time under tension, meaning less...
The 7-Week Strength Cycle
Let’s Get Strong! This 7-week cycle strength cycle is part of the larger periodization model we follow at Evolved throughout the year, where we primarily train in hypertrophy, and then venture into strength and metabolic every 9 months or so. The main focus of...
The COMPOUND-ISOLATION Training Cycle
The Compound-Isolation Supersets Cycle The general philosophy applied to Evolved programming across the board can be seen in the blog about lengthened overload. The general principles discussed there will apply to this cycle, as well. Beyond the general principles...
The Pre-Exhaust Training Cycle
The general philosophy applied to Evolved programming across the board can be seen in the blog about lengthened overload. The general principles discussed there will apply to this cycle, as well. However, there are a few big differences. For one, this current cycle is...Recent Posts
