I checked out the site. I noticed GPP and SPP mentioned a lot, kind of sounds like periodization to me but what do I know. Also, I checked out Washington St. website since you cited them as a participant in this training methodology. Didn't find anything on WSB and Louie Simmons but I did notice their strength records for their different sports and it appears they are at least doing cleans:

I won't bother checking the other sites as I'm sure you have the links available to support your case. Anyway, still not convinced that Olympic lifting isn't good for developing explosive strength oh and a little var would help which will keep this on subject.

Incidentally, a little trivia, David Rigert the great Russian weightlifter of the seventies officially clocked a 10.4 sec 100 M with a bodyweight of 220 Lbs. Vasili Alexeev clocked in at 11.2 sec. in the 100 M and had a vertical jump of 31 inches. He also had a Master of Sport ranking in Volleyball and did all of this weighing around 350 Lbs. Roberto (Tony) Urrutia, the great Cuba and later US weightlifter, could slam dunk a basketball and he was only 5'7" He also nearly beat the Cuba national 100M champion in a 50 M sprint. Not that I'm anyone but even I vertical jumped 35" and did a 4.6 sec 40 yard dash. Can't be coincidence.

GPP is general physical preparedness and SPP is special physical preparedness. Lots of info on each of those in the articles at elitefts, and also in the training forum.


It's not periodization, but in a way it is. It's self-periodizing. The idea is that you will be able to train at 100% of your max week after week without overtraining if you constantly switch up your ME movements. So in essence, it's periodized into 1-week mini-cycles.

its conjugated periodization
