Sure is a smart way of periodizing things! Do you think it would be beneficial to have middle distance guys include a hypertrophy phase before going into max strength? I’m thinking it might help the 400/800 athlete a bit more. But any thoughts, everybody?
Hypertrophy no doubt is a good place to start for athletes of limited experience. As teaching proper movements and building an increased muscle cross section is needed.
