I know you power lifters and strength athletes know what this is and use it,, but just curious if anyone has used Linear or Undulating Periodization training for the sole purpose of bodybuilding / hypertrophy ?
If so how did you set it up ? Was thinking about trying something new for the next 12 weeks. Because my training is more 'instinctive' based I think undulating would work best for me (though I'm open to ideas and suggestions for Linear)
rather then the standard HSP (hypertrophy, strength, power) based method (common with athletes). was thinking more Strength, Pump, Hypertrophy (perhaps better for body building).
So setting it up undulating weekly where one training session will focus on 'strength' training (4-7 rep range heavy weights), 'Pump' training (18-30 rep range, light weight, lots of drop sets, super sets, etc) and 'hypertrophy' training (the basic 8-12 rep range standard body builder movements).
undulating like this with the least emphasis being on strength, and the most on pump and hypertrophy:
S=strength
P=pump
H=hypertrophy
week 1
S-P-H-P-H-S
week 2
P-H-S-P-H-S
etc.
curious to hear if anyone has dabbled with these methods or anything similar.
I'm not currently going to the local gym I'm a member of and have been training at my home gym the last 6 months instead , so I'm just looking for something new and fresh to mix things up.
