Specificity
Principle 1: Specificity
• “Training adaptations are highly specific. Specificity
maybe described as an issue with transfer of training
results” – Zatsiorsky & Kraemer
• Types of Overload:
- Volume = Sets x Reps x Load
- Intensity = % of 1RM, % of HR Max
- Density = Volume (Sets x Reps x Load) divided by time
- Frequency = How many exposures within the microcycle generally
Principle 2: Overload
• “One of the oldest and most research-grounded
training principles, overload has a well -
established, two part definition. We can say that
a training stimulus (whether exercise, rep, set, or
session) presents an overload when:
• Help to avoid:
- Adaptive Resistance
- Law of Accommodation – “The response of a biological object to a constant stimulus
decreases over time” - Zatsiorsky & Kraemer
• Helps to promote:
- Adaptive Sensitivity
Principle 6:
Phase Potentiation
• Each Block/Phase of training is organized into logical sequences
• “The logical sequencing of training phases to promote the best overall long-term outcomes” –
Israetel, Hoffman, Smith 2015
• Every preceding Block/Phase should serve as a foundation for every succeeding Block/Phase
(Sequential System)
• Example:
- Powerlifter:
- Block 1: Accumulation – Hypertrophy
- Block 2: Intensification – General Strength
- Block 3: Realization/Peak – Max Strength
• Have A SYSTEM!

Anatomy of the Strength Training
Section - Powerlifter
A: Main Lift
B: Assistance Work
- Bench Press Corrective: Pause Bench Press, Close Grip Bench Press, Floor Press
- Bench Press Overload: Board Press Variations
- These exercise’s generally do not look like the competition exercises but train the muscles used in
the competition exercises
- Use to build Hypertrophy, Connective Tissue Strength, and off-set any potential muscle imbalances
B: Assistance Work
B: Assistance Work
- Still Compound Movements, but executed for higher reps (5-12), and more use or DB’s for loading
- Free Weight Movement
- Doesn’t necessarily have to directly build the “Main Lift”
- General Population are not powerlifers

Other Lactic Development Methods
• Circuit Training Method
• Hydration
• Supplementation
• Periodization – “The logical sequencing of training variables for the purpose of eliciting maximal
adaptations, reducing injury rates, and peaking the athlete for best performance at a particular time of
his/her choosing. The final product of applied periodization is a properly constructed macrocycle of
training that leads to beneficial results” – Israetel, Hoffman, Smith 2015
• Macrocycle
- Usually designates a training cycle of anywhere from 3months-1 Year, and even up to 4 Years (Olympic
Cycle)
• Mesocycle
- Usually designates a training cycle of anywhere from 1 month-3months
- “An organized sequence of microcycles ordered to elicit a set of distinct training adaptations. The typical
mesocycle is composed of two distinct phases, an accumulation phase, which usually lasts for three to five
weeks and a deload phase, which usually lasts for about a week. The typical mesocycle usually lasts for
about a month. Sometimes defined elsewhere as “summated microcycles.” – Israetel, Hoffman, Smith
• Microcycle
- Usually designates a training cycle of 1 week
A Few Key Things to Understand
• Training Cycles go from general training means to specific training
means
• General Block/Phase:
- Volume/Frequency = High
- Intensity = Low-Moderate
- Training Specificity = Low
• Specific Block/Phase
- Intensity = Higher
- Volume/ Frequency = Lower
- Training Specificity = Higher
Concurrent
• All Bio-motor (Strength, Explosive-Strength, Elastic-
Reactive Strength, Linear Speed, Multi-Directional
Speed, Etc.) Qualities are Trained with an Equal
Emphasis
- Respect for Training Compatibility - One Bio-motor plus another compatible quality can also be emphasized while others are
maintained or introduced
• 3 Parts:
- Accumulation = GPP
- Transmutation = SPP
- Realization = SPP & Taper
- The qualities developed in one block should serve as a foundation for the next (Sequential System)
Learning new technical elements Any kind of training modalities but after the dominant tasks
Block Periodization
• My Model:
- One Bio-motor quality is emphasize, while others
are maintained or introduced

Overview
• Main Lift:
- Emphasis on Skill Development
- Compound Movements – Squat/Bench/Deadlift/OHP/Chin Up Variations can be used
- Volume, Intensity, and/ or Density Overload Can be Used – Addition of Sets, Reps, Weight, & Decreased Rest
- Use of Tempo for Skill Acquisition of Main Lifts
- Use Isometrics/Pauses to own positions
- 3-6x3-6 = 15-30 Total Reps
• Assistance Work:
- Purely focused on learning how to execute the Fundamental Movements
- Volume & Intensity Overload Used – Addition of Sets, Reps & weight
- Use of Tempo 4-6secs per rep = 2-0-2-0, 3-0-3-0 = Tempo Method for Aerobic development & Technique
Development
- Use Isometrics/Pauses to own positions
- 3-5 Sets x 8-12 Reps = 24-50 Total Reps
• Met-Con:
- Purely Develop some central (Heart & Lungs) & Peripheral (Arm, Legs, Organ Tissues) Aerobic Capabilities
- If client has a higher fitness level Explosive Repeats are a nice introduction to interval base work

Max Strength
• “The most amount of the force the
neuromuscular system can produce for one all
out-effort regardless of rate of force
production”
Factors of Strength Development
• Non-Modifiable & Modifiable
• Non-Modifiable Factors:
- Genetics
- Leverages
- Origin and Insertion attachments
• Modifiable Factors:
- Neutral Factors – Intramuscular Co-ordination, Intermuscular Co-
ordination, Neural Inhibition
- Physiological Cross-Sectional Area (PCSA) – Hypertrophy
- Fibre Type
- Fatigue Status
- Nutritional Status
Neural Factors
• Intramuscular Co-ordination:
- Intra – “inside”
- The co-ordination between individual Muscle Fibres
• Intermuscular Co-ordination
- Inter – “between”
- The co-ordination between muscles – Agonist & Antagonists
• Neural Inhibition:
- Protective mechanism of the Central Nervous Sytem
- Involves the Gogli-Tendon-Organs (GTOs) & Muscles Spindles
- Through strength training we are trying to diminish the Central Nervous Systems inhibition on
allowing the organism to express it’s true force output capability
