Framework for Analyzing & Planning Strength Training: Progression vs Adaptation

I wanted to expand Framework for Analyzing & Planning Strength Training video with extra discussion on differences between progression and adaptation, which I also consider to be complementary pair, that are interrelated.

I believe that making the distinction between the two is a crucial in understanding our rationale in planning and can help with preventing and understanding underperformance and overtraining (burn out, injuries, etc). The slides are available HERE.

The video is available to members only so please consider becoming a member of the Complementary Training community.

Undulating Mixed Strength Program

This program represents “park bench” workout (see works by Dan John) and it is quite usable for someone putting the same emphasis on each exercise, while hitting wide rep ranges and avoiding boredom at the same time. Therefore, it is very usable for off-season “sporadic” workouts (someone who hits the gym 2-4 times per week in haphazard manner).
