Periodization
A training and athletics framework for cycling through phases of intensity, recovery, and peak performance. How athletes structure their effort over time to avoid burnout and perform when it matters.
5 settings
Deload
Intentionally pulling back volume and intensity so your body can absorb the training. Not quitting. Strategic retreat to come back stronger.
