You will be noticing some changes in my workouts for the next few weeks. I'm attempting to increase muscle mass and strength. Therefore, the weights will be high and reps will be low (anywhere from 4 to 8 reps).

This is part of my periodization program. Periodization is just a fancy term for performing one type of program for X amount of time, then switching to something else for the same amount of time. For example, I will be focusing on mass and strength for a month, then I will be reverting to my high-intesity workouts for another month, then maybe plyometrics and agilities for a third month.

Hope I haven't lost you too much ;). If so, let the questions fly!!
