Linear Periodization

Linear periodization is a training approach where an athlete gradually changes the intensity and volume of their workouts over a set period. Typically, this involves starting with lighter weights and higher repetitions to build endurance, then progressively increasing the weight while decreasing the reps to focus on strength and power. This structured plan is designed to optimize performance, prevent plateaus, and reduce the risk of injury. By systematically varying the training, athletes can maximize their gains and achieve specific goals at the right time, such as preparing for a competition.
