Non-linear Periodization

Non-linear periodization is a workout scheduling approach that varies the intensity and volume of training over short periods, rather than sticking to a fixed routine. Instead of gradually increasing weights or reps in a linear fashion, this method incorporates different training focuses — such as strength, hypertrophy, or endurance — within the same week. This flexibility helps prevent plateaus, reduces the risk of injury, and enhances overall fitness by challenging the body in diverse ways. It allows athletes to adapt more effectively to their training and recover better, ultimately improving performance.
