How to Get Strong Using Block Periodization (Ep 51)
Manage episode 474953770 series 3556082
Hey there! 👋 I'm Jayd Harrison (Jaydigains), personal trainer and host of the Coaching Corner podcast. In this episode of The Coaching Corner Podcast, I break down the concept of block periodization and why it’s essential for intermediate and advanced lifters looking to keep making progress. I explore the four key aspects of muscular fitness—strength, hypertrophy, endurance, and power—and explain how structuring training into focused blocks can maximize results.
I walk through the three phases of block periodization—accumulation, intensification, and realization—detailing the ideal weight, reps, and rest periods for each. Plus, I share my expert tips on warm-ups, core stabilization, and mobility work to support long-term strength development.
If you're hitting a plateau or looking to fine-tune your training strategy, this episode is your go-to guide for smarter, more effective strength programming.
