This is part two of our "Breaking the Rules" series, where we continue to challenge our conventional training frameworks and explore advanced strategies.

We break down block loading, examining extensive, intensive, and progressive loading in detail. Next, we take a deep look into mesocycle loading, covering constant, ascending, step, descending, and peaking methods to clarify the why and when behind breaking the rules for each one. From there, we shift to training splits, highlighting approaches to optimize strength ratios, the application of the 14-day microcycle, and when body part splits can be implemented for greater effectiveness.

You’ll also hear how we approach breaking the rules within the A Series, focusing on chin-ups, conventional deadlifts, and adjusting rest periods to maximize performance. To wrap it up, we provide key insights into when and why stepping away from periodization intensities and volume can make sense—and how to do it purposefully.

This episode is packed with actionable strategies and practical expertise to elevate your programming. Get ready to rethink the rules and push your training systems further.
