Periodization Strategies
Periodization is a systematic approach to training that involves dividing the training program into distinct phases or cycles. Each phase focuses on different aspects of training, such as strength, hypertrophy, or endurance.
Using periodization, powerlifters can optimize their performance by strategically planning training loads and recovery periods. This approach helps in avoiding plateaus and reducing the risk of injury.
Popular periodization models include linear, undulating, and block periodization, each offering unique benefits depending on individual goals and experience levels.
