WAVE-LOADING TRAINING PROGRAMS
I love utilizing wave loading for heavier strength training due to the neurological and psychological benefits of it. The reason why I think it is so beneficial is because every series of 3 sets increases in load while the rep scheme stays the same, so you are potentiating future sets. This in creases output every time you drop down in load and build back up because the nervous system is primed due to already lifting something heavier. Also, from psychological standpoint the weight feels light when you drop back down because you've already lifted something heavier, so you are more confident with the load.
The two types of programs I have below both utilize wave loading principles, the difference between the programs is one incorporates Olympic lifting and the other has more of a powerlifting bias.
