Once a week frequency? Why?

[louden_swain]

Yeah, I imagine the newbie's are VERY confused!

Lets keep them confused!!

No. . not really, we need to help them as much as possible.

BTW,

I would love to read some articles in regards to high/low volume training and periodization.

What authors and journals do you recommend?

Maybe the sticky should have some sort of disclaimer:

Note that all training methods linked here are valid methods. Effectiveness varies from person to person. Some methods are more effective for certain people than other methods; none have been proven better than others for every person. Use at your own risk

That is how I train for pre-contest...I start to change from lower to higher to lower and back to higher volume...then very low volume. I think that you have to...in order to peak.

Also note...that I train a movement (in one way or another) more than once a week...

2 authors that I can think of offhand are Michael Stone and Steven Fleck. Both are very well known for their research in strength training.

2 articles that may be off some help that I can think offhand are:

1) Good article that compares many types of training, and also references each one. Those would be the ones I would look into individually.

Fleck (1999) Periodized Strength Training: A Critical Review. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. 13(1), 82-89.

and

2) Old article but gives the theory behind alot of the stuff I believe.

Stone et al. (1982). A Theoretical Model of Strength Training. NSCA Journal. August-September p. 36-39.

Thanks!!! I will follow up on these.

Has anything been published from the University of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State University?

Excellent point! That's the most important aspect of strength training, peaking for competition!

I gotcha B,

I consider your training sophisticated and I know you are constantly getting stronger. . . .thats why I save all of your videos for extra motivation.

Your technique is solid. . .that helps as well.

OK time for my opinion

Fist off Bfold made a good point, no one wants to admit it but it is true: no top level strngth athletes or bodybuilders are using DC strictly. Now that doesn't mean it is a bad routine, in fact I think it is very good. I would even go so far as to say I am currently using a hybrid WSB low volume routine with a lot of ar and stretching thrown in. I still do speed work but I do it different as I posted in this thread: http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=248671

But as far as my heavy lifts are concerned I am only training 3 days a week and I am only performing 1 heavy work set after 4 or so warm up sets. After 2 and a half weeks of football usually my strength is in the toilet because my joints are taking a pounding from the weights and the impacts, but I am actually getting stronger, and I am not on anything in case that is what you are thinking.

My upper body workout on Tuesday went something like this:

Flat Bench
135 x10
225 x10
315 x12
365 x10
405 x 8---workset this is about 80 percent of my 1rm raw.

DE bench throws
3 at 135
3 at 135
3 at 135

Cambered Bar Military
135 x 10
185 x 10
225 x 6
245 x 9---workset

done

all in all I am trying to deelop the best in season program for strength related sports, and I am finding that if I look at the practices and games as workouts that are obviously high volume there is no way I can go to the gym and do a high volume routine. So I will keep posting my results with the lower volume in season routine as a side note.
