Periodization is the structure of workouts into cycles: "macro, meso, micro." (12:30) Another way of saying this is: to change things up to keep things fresh. Vinnie goes deeper, using his 2-day routine as an example. (15:00) Periodization is a way to build strength by focusing on different parts of the body. (19:00) Another approach Vinnie uses is in his aerobic exercise. (23:00) Depending on his goal, Vinnie changes things up. How do you know when you should mix things up? (33:00) When you're not seeing much change happening in your strength, or when you're getting bored. (39:00) There is such a thing as changing things up too frequently as well. (41:00) If you feel like you are not making progress, it may actually be time to let up for a little bit, not necessarily grind harder.
