The starting point
Periodization is the key to aligning intensity, volume, and recovery over time. In Musclefy you can visualize focus shifts using the weekly calendar, exercise tags, and execution reports.
Define the macrocycle
- Set a primary objective (max strength, hypertrophy, conditioning).
- Split the total period into phases with clear targets.
Break it into mesocycles
Each phase deserves its own emphasis. Use training descriptions to highlight the weekly focus and add custom fields when necessary.
Execute consistent microcycles
Plan weekly workouts that combine complementary stimuli. Tags like strength, speed, and mobility make it easy to understand each session's purpose at a glance.
Remember to log physical assessments at the beginning and end of every phase. It boosts motivation and provides concrete data for future adjustments.
