Optimization of Periodization: Engineering Progress Through Smarter Structure
Periodization isn’t just a schedule; it’s a system. At KILO, we align training variables with purpose to create lasting progress. Each phase, from Accumulation to Intensification, is structured to drive the right adaptation at the right time. The result is training that builds strength, performance, and resilience through clear sequencing and method selection.
Principles of Periodization: The Foundation of Long-Term Progress
Progress in strength training isn’t a straight line, it’s a structured build.
At KILO, we view periodization as the system that turns effort into results. It’s what connects each phase of training to the next. In this article, we break down the principles behind effective periodization, the models we use at KILO, and how structure transforms progress from random to repeatable.
The Numbers That Guide the Process: Why Tracking Metrics Matters in Strength Training
Numbers aren’t the goal of training, but they help guide it.
At KILO, we use data to clarify the process, not control it. Tracking key metrics like tonnage, average intensity, and estimated 1RM helps coaches make smarter decisions, reveal blind spots, and refine programming for advanced lifters. Learn how to turn training data into actionable insight, and coach with clarity and purpose.
