Jumps/jump squats better than lifting weights

If you're not interested in planning and balancing your training (periodisation) then you're not interested in getting better. You can lift weights a couple of times a week and include a plyometric session or two. You'll get better at first but you'll plateau and then your training is always just about maintenance.
Phase potentiation is based on human biology, blocks of training are usually 4 weeks for a reason.

 

Damn it! well and truly owned! :rofl

 

No were not cos he said this :

Dealt with probably means well, (or actually not really, he's kind of an *******), :rofl

 

Gotcha. I guess it doesn't make much sense to not use periodization. Thanks for the advice.

 

Zaryu, there are different mechanism of "periodization" that are not like the bigger faster stronger, football player (American not European) protocol, that dealt with uses.

Look up "Easy Strength" programs where you lift around 70-80% of your max for only a few sets, about 5 times, but you do it almost every day.

You continue to add weight until a certain point, and then you drop it back off and start another cycle. Rinse and repeat.

Dealt with is stuck in the old mentality that is beginning to die out.

 

What you just said is basically linear periodisation, which is exactly what I'm talking about.
As I said before you're clueless on the topic, so I don't know why you're claiming you understand trends of periodisation.

 

This is basically what I'm currently doing but without tapering down because I never had completing any cycles in mind. I just add weight whenever I can do all sets with 8 reps and go back to 5 reps with a new weight. I'm interested in periodization because I'm also interested in working in my boxing and adding polymeric workouts to my routine.

However, with a full time job and a family I don't have the luxury of time on my side to do all the things I would really like to do. Periodization would allow me to do these things while also enabling me to improve.
