Periodization Training
Once a training cycle has been pushed in the final week to the limit or near the limit of a Periodization Training Cycle, a New Periodization Training Cycle is begun with a substantial decrease in Loading while Varying the Exercises.
As in multiple post on this, Varying The Exercise can be as simple as going from a Wide Grip Bench Press to a Narrow Grip, Wide Stance Squat to a Narrow, or a Conventional Narrow Stance Squat to a Sumo.
The same Muscle Group are being trained from a different angle.
Active Recovery
Starting an New Periodization Training Cycle elicits Active Recovery.
Performing an Exercise with a Lower Load increase blood flow the Muscles which increase recovery.
Number of Periodization Weeks
The Number of Periodization Weeks varies dependent on...
Training Age
This is defined as how long a lifter has been training.
1) Novice Lifters
These lifter adapt slowly. Thus, they can preform the same Periodization Training Cycle for around 12 Weeks before it need to be changed.
2) Advance Lifters
These lifter adapt quickly. They need to change their Periodization Training Cycle about every 3 - 4 Weeks.
3) Intermediate Lifter
These lifters are in the middle. They need to change their Training Cycle about every 6 - 8 Weeks.
The Training Objective
The Training Objective of a well written Periodization Training Plan is to progressive increase Strength over time with a Cyclical Plan that incorporates OverReaching in conjunction with Active Recovery.
Short Deloads
These are short term solution that limit long term results.
I wanted to give myself a bit of a break from so much pressing anyways. Next week I'm doing a mock meet probably
Tapering For Competition
This is a type of Deload that usually occurs over a couple of weeks. Every sport utilize this approach.
I could just do like 80% for accessories maybe? I think 50% would be way too light.
Accessory Exercise
A Taper usually involves dropping Auxiliary Exercises along with a dramatic decrease in the Loading of the Lift that you want to perform a Personal 1 Repetition Max in.
Let me reinforce that "Think" amount to guessing, which is never good.
Anecdotal Data
The Tapering has been employed for decades by athletes in all sports because it works.
Research substantiates this approach.
Individual who Lack Knowledge need to follow
"The Training Cookbook" which is proven to produce results.
If a Taper is performed correctly it produces...
Super Compensation
The body rebounds from the Progressively OverLoading of the Periodization Training Cycle by Super Compensation; an increase in Strength.
This is the foundation on which Periodization Training is built based on...
The General Adaptation Syndrome
This applies to diseases and to Training, Dieting, etc., as well.
Hyperbolically stated, you either adapt or die.
In a Training Program that mean, that if the program is well written, the Periodization Training Cycle Plan ensures Long Term Gains in Performance.
If a Training Program does not properly allow for Recovery, the death part of training means stagnation of gains in performance and eventually going backwards. This is a common issue with many.
"Wound Healing"
This means the amount of time required to heal is proportionate to the amount of trauma.
OverReaching
This is a mild form of OverTraining; recovery is faster.
Continuing push past OverReaching leads to...
OverTraining
The farther an individual pushes into OverTraining, the longer the Recovery Time Required.
