The Secret to Getting Fitter: 5 Training Styles You NEED to Know | 106

In this episode we go deep into advanced program design and breaking down five key periodization styles used in strength and conditioning. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or just serious about improving your training, this episode will give you the insights you need to structure your workouts more effectively.

We’ll cover:

🔹 Traditional Periodization – The foundational approach for steady strength gains.

🔹 Conjugate Method – A complex style used by powerlifters, but is it right for CrossFit?

🔹 Block Periodization – The method we currently use at Red Wolf to target specific weaknesses.

🔹 Undulating Periodization – Adjusting intensity throughout the week to avoid stagnation.

🔹 Triphasic Training – A specialized approach for power athletes (and why we don’t use it).

I’ve been designing training programs for 17 years, tested all these styles, and I’ll share what works best for different training goals—including how we structure programming at Red Wolf.
