Our findings indicate that the APRE was more effective than the LP means of programming in increasing the bench press and squat over a period of 6 weeks.
man I dunno why people are not all over this thread
normally people are ass devastated when you tell them that STRONGLIFTS or STARTING STRENGTH or FIVE THREE ONE is not the best way forwards
Personally never had any luck with linear perodization. The early weeks are way to easy. Then about 5-6 weeks in when the weight gets heavier I start missing weights that I could have got at the start of the program. Has happened every time i do it.
Yeah every time I have done it too I'd get to one week and just miss xD
Then people would be like "START LIGHTER" so I'd start lighter and miss in the same spot or like 2.5kg more
I think the main issue was too little volume at a high percent of 1RM. There have been times when I've done a run up increasing the weight by 5kg each day and hit crazy PBs but it's always after I've been training at a soul crushing volume for a few weeks

"The linear periodization group used a simple setup starting at 70% and progressing by 5% each week as the number of sets and the rep range both decreased."
Isn't this linear progression not periodisation? In the end, a study of 23 college football players does not make something true, plenty of strong guys use and have used LP and APRE, this one study doesn't mean shit. It went for 6 weeks, with a projected 1rm for squat?
I have a friend who got me into lifting... he benches 180 and strict OHP 115... hes tall, not turtle build too (long arms)... he just runs linear periodisation. He looks like he's on roids (hes not, just a freak)
Also Ed Coan? but he ran it with 'assistance' by all accounts.
