Hey Team, Dan here.

One of the biggest challenges I hear from fellow gym goers and everyday athletes is “how do properly progress training over time to guarantee gains in muscle and strength?”.

Today ladies and gents, I will share with you the answers to this very question! There are many different methods and principles of training that can guarantee success if done consistently and progressively over time.

At Pearson Performance and Organic Strength, we create our training programmes using 2 frameworks:

  1. Vertical Integration

  2. Undulating Periodisation

We will start with Vertical Integration. (VI) is the training of a range of physical qualities (strength, power, hypertrophy and endurance) at the same time, with each of block of training having a greater focus towards one of these qualities than the others.

This allows us to train and develop all of these physical qualities year-round, and develop well-rounded physiques that can deliver high performing outputs!

At Pearson Pearson Performance I create your training programme to develop the qualities you want to develop:

  • Power = Velocity Series

  • Strength = Main Focus

  • Hypertrophy & Strength = Accessory / ‘Pump’ Work

  • Endurance = Robustness Work

Undulating Periodisation

This is an approach used by myself and Organic Strength. We progress your programme for three weeks before de-loading for a week. This allows our bodies to recover after a hard period of training, allowing our gains to manifest, before moving into a new phase of training fresh and ready to attack again!

Simple, yet so effective!

If you are reading this and want to develop strength and add some muscle remember direction is much more important than speed!

And following a training programme that progresses volume and intensity appropriately will be key for long term success!!

If you are wanting to become strong and fit but need direction and a roadmap to do so…
