Intensity over Volume
The spectrum of variables in training provides the lab for experimentation. The primary variables we can manipulate are Volume (the “dose” of total work), Relative Intensity (proximity to failure) and Frequency. Volume has been heralded as the main driver of...
The Repeating Movements and Modifying parts C, D and E
The purpose of this article is mostly to discuss the level of freedom that you have in parts C, D and E, and to provide a framework for you to use in case you need to modify these exercises (such as crowded gym, equipment limitations, injury etc…). Before diving into...
The Daily Undulating Periodization Cycle
Daily Undulating Periodization (DUP) is a way of structuring training where different rep ranges are targeted throughout the week. The pinnacle study on DUP versus block periodization occurred in 2002 by Rhea and colleagues. (A comparison of linear and daily...
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...Recent Posts
