Hey guys, I've known about periodization for a few yrs, but never did, I also started keeping a log. I'm trying to rededicate myself and take my workouts more seriously and take it to the next level. I've got a periodization time frame set up, and I was wondering if anybody had any tips. The first session is what I'm currently doing, and its the order from current to latest: Fat loss, ...

In basic English, periodization is simply the organization and planning of training. In sport, this planning is usually based upon achieving maximum physical abilities (strength, speed, power, etc..) for a given competition or period of competitions. In strength training, it might be organized around a specific goal for the muscles. Most people who strength train actually plan or ...
I followed Ironwill's advice and put the leg curls in. In doing this over a 12 week time perion shoul I incorperate a periodization program for the major lifts or leave them at 3 sets of 5? My goal is to add some size and strength. Also, I like to do Power Cleans. Do you see anywhere in my routine where they woul fit in? Monday Barbell squats 3x5 Leg presses 3x10-12 ...

Hey all, Just a couple quick questions - Note - not a competitive lifter just a fan / rugger. Technique For the push jerk, should the athlete try to stick the lift after getting underneath the bar or should they plan on sinking down and dropping low. I've seen it done both ways and was curious and was hoping someone could shed some light on that. Also, when periodizing your programs is...

Do you use it to prepare for fights or competitions? Do you go through periods where you focus on grappling and other periods where you focus more striking? Or periods where you focus more on cardio, and others on strength? How so? I've been finding that I can't maxmize my progress with strength at the same time as cardio. I feel that I have to maintain one while I spend more time on the ...

Ok. My training background is from running (track), so I know how to train for running (I think). My swimming will get better mostly from technique I'm sure. My bikin' is ok, but I need more strength/power. I'm trying to be smart and train using some periodization. My main question is: As I increase the volume of my base phase for my running, what am I doing on the bike? I can plan the running so...

I've searched and searched for a routine specifically for kickers and haven't been able to find one. I've basically just been doing general lifting with bench, incline, deads, squats and cleans... not really doing any periodization, but also not overtraining. Anybody have a specific routine or idea? Thanks.

I've been doing 5x5 for a long time now. I think it was 'madcows' version of it, I saw good gains and when I finally hit a wall, I switched over to the more involved periodization (sp) version. I'd do a max test and the Excel file I downloaded would tell me exactly what to do for the next X weeks. It was great. But I feel like I've sort of stalled. And I truthfully, I feel a little bored...

I have another question say im using the periodization method and im done with the hypertrophy phase and im going to the next phase which is strength then endurance. Would it be a good idea if I continued to bulk in these phases?? and can endurance come before strength? just out of curiousity thanx again
