periodization

[driftwood]

Hi,
I am trying to collect the best sources of info on BODYBUILDING training periodization. I have done exhaustive searches on scientific databases, but you probably know bodybuilding is not that hot a topic there - much about sports training periodization, which is somewhat deficient for hypertrophy. Therefore, please suggest any links/sources you find useful. I am trying to write a review.
Thanks,

Marilia

Take also a look at this thread. It has almost become the repository of all things pertaining to periodization on this board:

ABCBodybuilding has put out some fantastic pieces in their journal. Really well researched. Believe me, I was pretty stunned to find them on a bodybuilding site.

Three are linked in here: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5125947&postcount=828

You should be thrilled after reading those and might want to take a look through their other journal articles (it's an online journal thing). I was pretty impressed with them.
