Periodized Strength Training in 1–6 Month Blocks

Use periodized resistance training blocks that change rep ranges over time, such as several weeks to a few months in a heavier 3–5 or 4–8 rep range, then shifting to moderate or higher-rep work like 5–8 or 8–12+ reps. The idea is to keep progress moving as early neuromuscular gains slow, while varying stimulus to build strength and muscle more effectively and reduce stagnation.
