One of the most amazing experiences is seeing the results from all of the hard work you put into the gym. You’ve built some mass and you have some muscle definition…it’s an awesome feeling.

But as you know, that experience will only last for so long. At some point, you hit that inevitable plateau in your training.

In this post, we’re going to dive deep into a method that can give you continuous gains. It’s called periodization.

The concept of periodization is based on Selye’s General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS). The originator, Hens Selye was performing research on the body’s response from stress, according to Garret Rieck and Justin Lindin, contributors to the article ‘Selye’s Concept of General Adaptation Syndrome.’
