Periodisation

[Guest guest]

Can someone explain the concept and practical

technique of periodisation to me?

I've been stuck on my bench press for an extremely

long time, and think a new type of training--such as

periodisation--is the answer.

[Periodisation is not really a new type of training, but just a

scheme for alternating or cycling the intensity and volume of

short, middle and long term training so as to produce one's

best performances at specific times, most commonly to coincide

with competitions. Our archives contain a fair amount of

information on this topic and Ch 6 of Supertraining, as well

as many of the standard strength texts (written by authors

such as Bompa, Fleck and Kramer), provides great detail on

this topic. Mel Siff]
