Ever wonder why some training programs seem to hit plateaus while others keep delivering progress? The difference often comes down to periodisation — a structured way to organize your training so you keep getting stronger without burning out.
Foundation (Accumulation): Build base strength and technique.
Intensification: Lift heavier, focus on power and performance.
Recovery (Deload): Allow your body to adapt and grow stronger.
For beginners, this might look like four weeks of consistent lifting, followed by a lighter week to reset. Over time, you increase intensity or volume systematically — not by chance.
The beauty of periodisation is that it teaches you to listen to your body while still following structure. You’ll see steady progress, fewer injuries, and more motivation.
At Silverback, we use periodisation to help you train smarter, not harder — because lasting strength is built with purpose.
