Periodization

There is a concept in training called periodization. It contends that by training in phases you will be able to reach and maintain your peak performance level most effectively. If you are already a very fit person, are aspiring to play higher levels of rugby and want to have peak performance in the spring you will want to follow these guidelines. Meaning for now you might want to be resting for another week and definitely not doing anything but power lifting.

If you do not have aspirations of playing for the USA team and play rugby to stay in shape and perhaps could be in much better shape than you currently are just go ahead and follow the blog. I will be mixing in some periodization methodology to its format.

If anyone wants workouts that will follow, more strictly, a periodization plan let me know and we can talk about it.
