Undulating non-linear periodisation is a method of planning your training in which your repetition scheme and workout goal changes on a workout by workout basis. For example, workout one may be 5 reps (strength), workout two 15 reps (muscular endurance)and workout three 10 reps (muscle growth.) This method of periodisation is advantageous in comparison to linear periodisation in respect to improving fitness elements across the board and not letting any element decline while you focus on another element.

Grip strength is important in a number of sports (e.g combat sports like wrestling) and in day to day life (e.g. opening screw top bottles) and so should be trained – try farmer’s walks, thick grip bar work, reverse curls, wrist rollers etc.

I have said previously that static stretching before a workout is not recommended. Recent research is starting to show that this is especially important if strength and power is important in your training or competition. One study has reported that 5 minutes of static stretching can decrease the strength and power in the thigh for up to 2 hours, so if you are doing weight training or competing in a sport that requires strength and power don’t do any static stretching as part of your warm-up.
