Again for the most part, I agree with TbombZ.
Periodization still holds a strong contribution to successful training protocols. Including BB'ers, Pl'ers, Olympic lifters, strongmen training, etc. Once understanding that principle, and how your body (not what the Pro's, the video's, books, articles, etc want to feed you) reacts, adjust and recovers than progress should advance at a steady pace. The importance of taking a week (or two) off between the end of a periodization (anywhere from 8 to 12...for me anyway..even if still feeling I may be making some progress, I will take a week off and than to another workout phase) will become important also. Even if still making some progress at the end of 12 weeks
Interjecting an example of the periidzation plan I will usually follow on a yearly bases. With periodization, good to map out a long term plan for workouts.
1) Heavy rack training. Partial reps, lockouts,starting positions, etc. High intensity, 4 to 6 reps. Sometimes sets of 3's.
2) GVT (10X10's) using the same weight on the bar the whole 100 (10X10) reps. High volume, moderate intensity
3) General BB'ing. 8-12 reps reps, 2 to 3 exercises a body part. 60 seconds between sets, 90 seconds between exercises. Keeping a fast pace throughout. Volume will equate with high intensity, in this case, due to lighter weight used and the speed of the workout..
Going to failure is not an option, in any of these 3 training phases. Nor should it be, for most workouts.
Increasing ones strength does not always carry with it, increased muscle mass. The ratio never seems to be the same for most guy's. The trend now, by some very large and strong men, is to pay attention to the middle part of a exercise, rather than a full ROM. The TUT (Time Under Tension..been around for decades) , in that middle range seems very important to them. Want the most work in the shortest period of time, so this can be a logical way to approach working out. Works for everybody..no, but can be worth a try for some who are stuck in the same old workout systems. Nothing really works the same for everyone. Good Luck.
