Keeping It Fresh

• What is Periodization? (6:15)
  • Vinnie’s workouts haveperiodization built into the program.
• Periodization is the structure of workouts into cycles: “macro, meso, micro.” (12:30)
  • Another way of saying this is: to change things up to keep things fresh.
• Vinnie goes deeper, using his 2-day routine as an example. (15:00)
  • Periodization is a way to build strength by focusing on different parts of the body. (19:00)
• Another approach Vinnie uses is in his aerobic exercise. (23:00)
  • Depending on his goal, Vinnie changes things up.
• How do you know when you should mix things up? (33:00)
  • When you’re not seeing much change happening in your strength, or when you’re getting bored. (39:00)
• There is such a thing as changing things up too frequently as well. (41:00)
• If you feel like you are not making progress, it may actually be time to let up for a little bit, not necessarily grind harder.
