Default Linear or Non-linear?

Hi everybody, I would like to ask if what is more feasible kind of periodization to be recommended to someone who is busy but still active and wants a to improve his body and weekend sport?

Is it also true that US basketball teams follow a linear periodization? Or are team coaches now follow non-linear kind of periodization?

Linear progression is fine.. but you can only follow it for so long then you wont get the numbers that you want.

I would recommend undulating periodization for a busy person. Take a look at Alwyn Cosgrove's Holiday Program and see if it would be a good fit for you.

Yes, undulating is the way to go. That way you can work on strength, hypertrophy, and endurance.
