Basics of Periodization

Pedestal uses periodization—the athletic gold standard—to generate fitness plans.

Training Hours

Periodization optimizes performance by systematically increasing training intensity and volume, while allowing time for proper recovery and adaptation. Periodization focuses on achieving long-term goals, rather than just short-term gains.

Training Effect

More is not always better. When your training time is calculated properly, you benefit from the effects of supercompensation.

During supercompensation, the body overcompensates for the stress by building more muscle tissue, increasing energy stores, and enhancing the ability to perform the same activity at a higher level.
