re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

Periodization:
At some point when you have run many cycles you start to know how long you can run before a reset. The trick is to reset all the lifts at the same time, trying to hit 3x5 weight PRs at a certain point, say after 6 weeks (and 5+ rep prs up to that point). You need to choose the weights after a reset accordingly, to be close to the limit at that point on each lift. Of course you can adjust on the fly a few weeks. If a lift starts to stall earlier, just try to keep the weight the same untill most of the lifts are stalling

After that you would drop the main lifts to 3x3 (no plus set) with the same weight you finished 3x5+ for one week for a slight deload.

Then go on with 3x3+ increasing weight the weeks after up to limit. After that you would reset, and start over with 5+'s (no plus sets first week or two), maybe changing some lifts, or do a test week with light singles at the start of the week and test 1rms at the end if wanted, and then reset.

With the rep range lifts you would aim for top of the range during 5+'s phase, and bottom of the range during 3+'s phase.

This type of basic periodization is also used in madcow advanced among others
