Dear Strength Coach or Personal Trainer,
If part of your professional services is to create individualized
long term training programs then
"The Flexible Periodization Method" is for you!
18 years of research (including all major periodization styles),
1000s of hours creating training programs and 1000s of hours in the
gym working with young, as well as World Class and Olympic athletes
from 13 different sports have gone into the creation of this 400 page
book that describes a FLEXIBLE, RESULT PRODUCING way of creating
training programs to match the unique needs of each individual athlete
and client.
CHAPTER 1
THE PRINCIPLES
Chapter 1 consists of 16 sections outlining the 16 key Principles
that The Flexible Periodization Method is built upon, including
* How to enhance results by following the natural cycles of the
body in your planning.
* The solution to the problem of performing concurrent strength and
endurance training.
* How and when to use "assistance exercises" and "compound
exercises".
* Why several textbooks are wrong when they say explosive sports
don't have a need for a maximal strength cycle.
* Ways to practice key movement patterns every day without
overtraining (Improve performance even on recovery days).
* Why ALL program variables must be periodized.
* Why stabilizer training is NOT for sissies. :)
Take your time, study one section per day for two to three weeks.
You will then have a solid understanding of the theory before
proceeding to the details in Chapter 2.
_"EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR TO EXPAND MY KNOWLEDGE OF
PERIODIZATION."_
_"I LOVED [KARSTEN'S] PASSION FOR THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE HIM, THEIR
KNOWLEDGE AND RESEARCH AND ROLLED IT ALL OUT FOR US - LIKE A SYNOPSIS
OF EVERY RESEARCH PAPER SINCE CAVEMAN TIMES."_
FROM CHAPTER1.
CHAPTER 2
THE DETAILS
"The Flexible Periodization Method" is not to be read cover to
cover. Rather, the book serves as a reference every time you create
training programs.
The Flexible Periodization Method is based on 7 different training
templates ("blocks") that are combined to perfectly suit the
individual athlete or client. The three letter acronyms indicate the
training goals of each template.
When you create a training program you combine the blocks to match
the exact needs of the athlete/client at the point in time.
Then you adjust all aspects of the program "within" each block to
give the client/athlete what (s)he needs at a particular point in
time.
Chapter 2 gives you all the details of these 7 templates, including
* The best structure of strength training, jump/throw training and
energy systems training workouts with the optimal number of exercises.
* The power of viewing your training sessions as "blocks" of
various length.
* How the 7 fundamental training methods are combined in the 7
Blocks for maximal synergy and results.
* The difference between PREPARING for and SUPPLEMENTING the
sport-specific activity.
* Why the key goal in plyometric training is NOT always to develop
power.
* 59 "method variations " to use with strength training, jump/throw
training or energy systems training.
* The best tempo and contraction type to use in each block.
* And much more.
_"KARSTEN DID A FABULOUS JOB OF BREAKING DOWN PERIODIZATION AND
SHOWING HOW TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER." _
FROM CHAPTER 2.
CHAPTER 3
HOW TO COMBINE THE SEVEN BLOCKS
TO CREATE A MACROCYCLE
While Chapter 2 shows the details of the seven blocks, Chapter 3
shows you how to combine these blocks to create ANY kind of
macrocycle.
The PRACTICAL Principles in Chapter 3 are to be used every time you
create a training program.
* The simple, but overlooked principle for prioritizing training
components.
* The 5 key "structures" in a macrocycle that you must be able to
work with.
* When and how to use a pure sequence or a "spiralling" of blocks.
* Optimal number of continuous weeks within each block.
* 3 ways to apply concentrated loading.
* The philosophy for tapering.
* Strategies for improving physical capacity, EVEN in the
competition period.
CHAPTER 4
9 KEY STEPS TO CREATE A TRAINING PROGRAM
The process of creating a training program includes considerations
that are not directly associated with periodization.
However, one of the best habits a strength coach or personal trainer
can have is to follow a step-by step recipe every time a training
program is created.
This recipe also explains how to decide the right goals for the
athlete. A GREAT program with the WRONG goals is not desirable.
"The Flexible Periodization Method" is a complete system. You can
create your training programs from this system alone, however, there
are MANY SPECIFIC principles and strategies that can be applied with
any other way of creating training programs.
It is my hope that The Flexible Periodization Method will benefit
you as much as it benefits me and the athletes and clients I work
with.
When an athlete or client experiences that the program is TRULY for
them, their motivation increases and the results speak for themselves.
