Very nice question. In general, I do follow a similar loading pattern that you describe but I don’t specifically periodize general strength. I do however take special care to match it up appropriately within the microcycle. I use quite a few general strength circuits and employ them in a variety of ways depending on such things as the volumes, modes, and intensities of the high intensity work within the microcycle, as well as the goals of the microcycle and specific needs of the athlete.
