Ep. 660 - [Series] Program Design Pt.4: Periodization, Tempo, and Rest Periods.

Today's podcast is the final part of the 4 part series on Program Design! Cody continues to dive into what "evidence based program design" is all about. This episode will cover periodization and progression models, tempo, rest periods, programming methods like supersetting, and the practical application of all the above. ---- Join The Tailored Trainer (TCM's Membership Site) to gain full access to daily programming and a private coaching forum for guidance.

My guess as to why and how this applies elsewhere is that since the ceiling for squat load is higher - it might take longer before getting to the point of required periodization. So for lifts that plateau sooner due to strength capacities, periodization may be needed sooner. Hypertrophy: Double Progression ModelPeriodization style doesn’t seem to matter based on all the literature done on this, so what’s important is the model of progression that you feel good with and continuing to plan your training accordingly, in order to see continued progress AND a sustained high level of effort (RPE). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0765159717302137 Concurrent: DUP or WUPBetter for intermediate and advanced lifters More evidence to support DUP than WUP What are the finer details of programming:Tempo, Rest, Super Setting, Cardio, etc. Why These Come Last Tempo Terms and DefinitionsNegative - eccentric Positive - concentric 3-2-1-2  Pauses Segmented reps Partials What Science Says: Tempo:Doesn’t matter when volume is equated, however it may be more effective for hypertrophy as long as it does not compromise total volume (https://www.termedia.pl/Effect-of-different-eccentric-tempos-on-hypertrophy-and-strength-of-the-lower-limbs,78,43851,0,1.html). However, for strength the purpose is to maximize the concentric - therefore tempos may prevent strength gains due to less load being performed per rep, dropping the CNS drive to develop strength.
