• Periodization in Perspective

  
  Functional Path Training — Authority: 109
  Matveyev did not invent Periodization. He was one of many who formalized the concept. Because he was Russian, and the Soviet Union was the dominant geopolitical force in the communist bloc, Soviet ideology tended to prevail even in sport. I believe this explains the dominant influence of the Soviets in the literature ...

  Functional Path Training — Authority: 109
  What is training? Training is not about the hurt, pain, not about puking and being at the max in each workout. That is not training.
