Training periodization study

[Sully]

Periodization works, there's not much debate left about it, IMO. Although not a perfect study (the sample size is small) the results are statistically significant enough to be considered valid. And this isn't even an advanced training split, it's fairly basic. Periodization principles like DUP are likely to yield even more significan results in highly trained individuals.

Many do, but whether or not they do it correctly or with any specific goal or progression in mind is another conversation, entirely.

Of course it does . The body only grows or changes by adjusting and adapting to stress. We only continue to progress by tricking the body or progress stops. Bombard body with change . Periodization is organized changes in intensity.
