I keep seeing reference to the difference between linear
and undulating periodization. Isn’t that an academic argument? Isn’t all
training adaptation undulating? The body does not adapt in a linear manner. We may
write linear progressions but that is not what happens in reality. Unless I
have been missing something all these years isn’t periodization the timing of
the application of training. It is why you do what and when you do it. No mysteries, just good planning based on pedagogy, experience and science in that order.
