"The Flexible Periodization Method" - Science-based, yet the most PRACTICAL book on periodization you have ever read" One question I am frequently asked since releasing the Flexible Periodization Method is "Is The Flexible Periodization Method linear or non-linear periodization?" My answer is usually the same: Both! TO which I am usually greeted with a response of: Huh?" They are stunned! How can one system be two systems? It may seem too good to be true that with this one system of periodization you can create ANY OTHER current periodization system. But, it is in fact the TRUTH, and if you get the book you will find out how easy it is. The Flexible Periodization Method was written with ONE SINGLE purpose - to help strength coaches and personal trainers create better training programs. If you are a strength coach or personal trainer and can answer "Yes" to any of the following questions, then you WILL GREATLY benefit from "The Flexible Periodization Method." Do you feel that periodization is all science mumbo jumbo? - The FPM provides an increased understanding of periodization through a clear discussion of the pros and cons of all current periodization models. Have you ever read a book on periodization and felt that you understood the theory, yet did not know how to apply this theory? - The FPM makes the topic of periodization PRACTICAL giving you a step by step method for creating long-term training programs as well as 59 specific method variations to use in your programs. Are you a new personal trainer, who wonders how to create better training programs? - Periodization has been proven to be more effective than programs that do not follow these principles. "The FPM, shows you how to create more effective training programs, through a unique version of PERIODIZATION. Have you studied periodization before and felt that your athletes and clients did not fit into the models prescribed? - Like no other method, The Flexible Periodization Method "fits the system to the athlete and not the athlete to the system" . Learn 7 training templates covering all physiological capacities as well as adjustment options for those blocks. The Flexible Periodization Method shows you how to adjust these blocks to fit the training of YOUR athletes. Have you ever wondered how to best combine strength training, plyometrics and energy systems training?

Sport conditioning has advanced tremendously since the era when a “no pain, no gain” philosophy guided the training regimens of athletes. Dr. Tudor Bompa pioneered most of these breakthroughs, proving long ago that it's not only how much and how hard an athlete works but also when and what work is done that determine an athlete's conditioning level. Periodization Training for Sports goes beyond the simple application of bodybuilding or powerlifting programs to build strength in athletes. In this new edition of Periodization Training for Sports, Bompa teams with strength and conditioning expert Carlo Buzzichelli to demonstrate how to use periodized workouts to peak at optimal times by manipulating strength training variables through six training phases (anatomical adaptation, hypertrophy, maximum strength, conversion to specific strength, maintenance, and tapering) and integrating them with energy system training and nutrition strategies. Coaches and athletes in 35 sports have at their fingertips a proven program that is sure to produce the best results. No more guessing about preseason conditioning, in-season workloads, or rest and recovery periods; now it's simply a matter of identifying and implementing the information in this book. Presented with plenty of ready-made training schedules, Periodization Training for Sports is your best conditioning planner if you want to know what works, why it works, and when it works in the training room and on the practice field. Get in better shape next season and reap the benefits of smarter workouts in competition. Own what will be considered the bible of strength training for sport of the next decade.
