Enhancing Human Performance Through Proper Nutrition and Resistance Training
The actual make-up of a workout program designed specifically for a certain individual must have several factors considered before it can become a reality. Questions like, “What exercises are appropriate for my client?” or, “How many sets and repetitions should I have my client perform?”1 are just some things that need to be thought of in advance before the fitness professional can expect to develop a successful workout program.
A common term that is used in the fitness industry as a staple of program design is “periodization”. For the sake of this blog, I’m going to focus on the main staple which is termed “linear periodization”. This form is very simple in the fact that the main idea behind it is that you base all aspects of the workout off of a predicted “1RM” or basically how much weight you can lift one time on a certain lift.2 L.P. involves using certain reps and sets, and then basing the percentage of how heavy to go based off of that original 1RM. Periodization is a tried and true method for anyone looking to put on sizeable strength and muscle gains in an efficient and timely manner. It allows the individual to focus on factors such what exercises they want to do, what exercises they feel they must improve in, etc.
A main factor when training with linear periodization is the fact that lifting ranges must be systematically changed to avoid hitting bodily stagnation or plateaus. A common form of this is by having an individual begin with hypertrophy training, then move on to strength-based exercises, and then on the final phase of the program, develop power. Studies have shown that about 4 weeks or roughly one “mesocycle” is generally an appropriate amount of time to spend in one phase of training to adhere results.
When used properly, periodization is an excellent way for beginners, intermediate, and advanced weightlifters to successfully take their training to the next step, whatever their goal may be.

I was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to attain a divine recovery.
