Periodization is how your training is progressed over time, how does your intensity and volume change over time. In the Powerlifting and Powerbuilding programs we utilize 3 different periodization styles.
Linear Periodization
Linear Periodization is a simple, week to week overload of volume/intensity, whichever is appropriate for your current phase.
Alternating Periodization
Alternating Periodization employs a bit more fatigue management by alternating weekly between overloading the Squat and Bench or the Deadlift.
Undulating Periodization
Undulating Periodization is our most intricate scheme that rotates between Low, Medium and High sessions for each of the primary lifts, allowing for the most recovery between overloading sessions which is necessary for more advanced lifters or those with reduced recovery capacity, like Masters aged athletes.
