Hi everybody, I would like to ask if what is more feasible type of periodization to be recommended to someone who is busy but still active and wants to improve his body and weekend sport?
Is it also true that US basketball teams follow a linear periodization? Or are team's strength coaches now follow non-linear kind of periodization?
It might take some time because it's Sunday morning (3:13AM to be exact) and this board gets slow on the weekends.
But from what my limited experience, a lot of people get good results from an undulating periodization. I believe this is what Alwyn Cosgrove uses in "New Rules of Lifting" for his hypertrophy series.
However, he uses different periodizations depending on the goals. His fat loss programs use some hybrid of decreasing reps/set and rest times with the understanding that the individual should be setting new PRs with each session and the strength programs use a wave loading (though I don't know if that qualifies as a periodization).

Undulating periodization would be what I would recommend for you. You alternate between volume and intensity within the same training week and this will go a long way in heliping you improve your body and sport.
Yes many US professional and collegiate programs still do follow a linear progression. There are a bunch of colleges that do follow a conjugated approach though.
It doesnt really matter, just pick a plan and run with it, the goal of all of these schemes is to linearly progress anyway,

I was the one who bumped this thread. I went to the Advanced Training Discussion, and saw this thread as "Moved". When I clicked it, there are no replies. So I bumped it. And it created a new thread here in Training Discussion.
In other forums I've been to, when I click the "moved" thread, it also shows where it was transferred as well as the replies.
linear or non-linear?
sorry, guys!
