if a program is non linear then your not going to make gains in anything.
wait, how can a program even be non linear? [/quote]

Conjugate periodization is an example of non-linear progression. Additionally you have linear periodization versus linear progression, which operate differently.[/quote]

Can you elaborate?

On which part specifically?

The difference between linear periodization and linear progression.

This gives a great overview of both conjugate and linear periodization

Basically, linear periodization has different training mesocycles wherein one can actually employ the principles of linear progression, but unlike linear progression it’s not a simply question of adding more weight to a set constant rep range, but a changing of rep ranges and training styles to meet different goals per mesocycle.
