Understanding the rules is key—properly breaking them is where true mastery begins. In this episode, we explore the art and science of stepping outside our foundational frameworks. We discuss why mastering and fully understanding systems is essential before bending the rules.

From utilizing shorter macrocycles to A series exercise selection that go beyond our PRIMEIGHT standards, we share strategies that challenge our norm while still delivering results. You’ll also hear our perspective on deviating from phase undulating periodization—when it’s worth it and how to do it effectively.

To cap it off, we take a deep dive into Wave Periodization, breaking down the fundamentals and exploring how different block structures can be tailored to suit varying goals and client needs. This episode is packed with practical insights on when and how to break the rules effectively, so have your notebooks ready as we dissect each concept, always explaining the 'why' and 'how' behind every move.
