Linear Periodization is Not Your Enemy. . .

05/22/2013 Daniel Jaffe 0

It has become obvious to me over the past couple years of coaching and training that when people hear the words “linear” and “periodization” in concert with one another, they automatically turn-off. I haven’t met a single resistance-trained “athlete” that doesn’t consider themselves well-enough experienced in “the art of the iron-game” (to quote Dr. Randall Strossen) to be beyond this “elementary practice.” I guess I can understand where people can have qualms with this type Read More

Today marked an end of an era.  I drove myself to work and the gym.  This means I didnt carpool with Ben and Big Titty.  It was somewhat of a ritual to go to Big Tittys house and wake him up from his mid afternoon nap, bring him to teddys and watch him buy dip and chocolate milk.  I will miss those days but things will be moving more efficiently for me from here on out.

CNS fatigue, also referred to as neuromuscular fatigue, is a subjective state in which one feels tired or exhausted and in which the capacity for normal work or activity is reduced [17]. Muscle fatigue, the decline in voluntary force during sustained maximal efforts, is caused by Read More

Rolled Down to Baystate Early.  As usual I had 5 eggs and bacon, then I went down to brueggers bagels to get a salmon bagel and coffee.  Last week I clogged the toilet there, this week was a little better but I still made a mess of the place.  Big Titty Mike was 45 mins late so I hung outside of baystate with charlie until 10:45.  He didnt have his dog for some reason which Read More
