Framework for Analyzing & Planning the Strength Training

I have been extensively studying planning of the strength training, and the article series that resulted from that effort and which cover the “traditional” approach are the following:

  1. Concurrent Strategies in Strength Training – Part 1
  2. Concurrent Strategies in Strength Training – Part 2
  3. Percent-based training vs. Auto-regulatory? Can they be complementary?
  4. ‘Non-Periodized Programs’ – Are They Really Non-Periodized?
  5. Set and rep schemes in strength training
  6. Intensity-Effort Table for Strength Training
  7. Horizontal and Vertical Variations in Strength Training
  8. Reconciling Sheiko and Westside
  9. Planning the Strength Training – The Addendum
  10. 5/3/1 Forever Book Review

When it comes to “non-traditional” approaches (besides Velocity Based Training), such as daily undulating frameworks and “non-divisible” approaches, here are the articles that cover those topics:

  1. Podcast #2: Mike Zourdos on Strength Training
  2. Undulating Programming
  3. More Advanced Daily Undulating Programming
  4. Planning and Programming Strength Training Using DUP Approach
  5. Daily Undulating Framework (DUF)

What does the video below attempts to do is to reconcile everything written about above using a few very simple tools. That way, it represents a very pragmatic and agile tool for planning and analyzing strength training programs. To find out more take a look at the slides on SlideShare website.

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

Podcast #2: Mike Zourdos on Strength Training

This podcast is indeed fascinating since Mike Zourdos and myself covered plenty of strength training ground, from analyzing famous programs, difference between Daily Undulating Periodization vs Daily Undulating Planning, cycles planning, daily max vs high-frequency training, emotional and boredom issues, in-season training, VBT and so forth. It is even hard to enlist all the topics covered. It is indeed…

Daily Undulating Framework (DUF)

After a long “battle” with Daily Undulating Periodization/Planning/Programming term, I decided to name it to DUF – Daily Undulating Framework, or just Undulating Framework (UF). The most recent video Planning and Programming Strength Training Using DUP Approach created a bit of confusion, because some viewer saw it as “system” or a “solution”, where I wanted to pinpoint to it…
