📊 It's important to think both short term and long term to do this well over time.
Too short term of a view can lead coaches to bias power and plyometric training potentially at the expense of general physical development.
🏋🏽♂️ Too long term of a view can lead to building a lot of general strength without ever learning how to express it quickly.
Periodization intends to balance these adaptations over time to peak performance for competition.
📘 If you're studying for the CSCS Exam, make sure to understand the full spectrum of overtraining.
