Periodization is the concept of breaking one's training up into chunks, referred to as periods, which is where the term comes from. Periodization offers some unique advantages and is generally agreed to have the potential to push one's training to great extremes. As such, I deemed it important to look into this concept and try to come to a deeper understanding of its value. I also applied Periodization to my own training to gain further insight into how it may affect me individually.
