PERIODIZATION OF TRAINING

Louie Simmons Anyone training for a meet has undergone some form of periodization. Unfortunately, most have misused a system in order to peak for a meet. Progressive gradual overload, or Western periodization, is based on a hypothetical goal. So, at any time, the percent of your contest max may be off by as much as 20%. Many times the lifter is missing weights 3 weeks from the contest. This is because their expectations are too high or possibly too low.

Training should be calculated by using a formula based on math, not dreams. I suggest everyone read books on periodization by noted authors such as Tudor Bompa or Vladimir Zatsiorsky. These books explain periodization in terms of micro- and mesocycles. After all, periodization is a reference to the division of training into a yearly plan, or even a 4-year plan, i.e., an Olympic cycle. This system is used for weight lifting, powerlifting, and track and field, and of course should be used for all sports requiring the development of power.

The former Soviet Union had so much data on training that they did not know what some top coaches were doing. Mel Siff (`!Supertraining`!) asked how I arrived at our 3-week pendulum system. It was quite similar to that used by the great Soviet Union SHW champion Vasily Alexeev. I stated that after 3 weeks we could not become faster or stronger, so we waved back down and started over. Mel said that Alexeev found the same to be true. So with the help of Russian and Bulgarian research and that done at Westside with over 70 Elite powerlifters, plus feedback from some of the greatest powerlifters around the world, our loading is based on A. S. Prilepin’s table.

For speed work for benching we do 9 sets of 3 reps. This is known as the dynamic effort method. Its purpose is to build a fast rate of force development. For squatting, the sets vary from 12 without bands or chains (i.e., a contrast method) to as low as 3 for the last week of a circa-max phase. The reps are always 2. For speed pulls, the reps are 1 and the sets are 5-8.

The powerclean and snatch are commonly used to develop speed strength in high schools and colleges, but the powerlifts can be used for the same purpose. For the bench the bar speed should be a minimum of 0.75 meters/second (m/s) and a maximum of 1.0 m/s. Jeremiah Meyers and John Stafford have pulled 495 at 1.2 m/s for sets.

To find your total loading volume, multiply the sets by the number of reps. For example, 9 sets of 3 reps for benching with 200 pounds on dynamic day is 5400 pounds. One should always use chains or bands to accommodate resistance and help reduce bar deceleration. For squatting, 12 sets of 2 reps with 500 pounds is 12,000 pounds. Only training sets should be calculated.

At Westside we follow the “rule of 60%”. An extreme workout should occur every 72 hours. The max effort day will be about 60% of the dynamic day. This may sound easy to do, but stop and add the weights used on max effort day using weights of 70% up to max weight lifted, and you will be surprised how low the total volume is. We lift about 45 to 50% on average. The rule of 60% was introduced through Olympic lifting. Powerlifting training requires one to make much larger jumps. This makes it almost impossible to lift 60% of the total volume on max effort day.

At Westside we don’t use the method of heavy efforts, where 2 reps of multiple sets are used. Using the conjugate system, we try an all-time max each week on a special core exercise. If you repeatedly use the same core exercise, you will regress, if training above 90% of a 1-rep max. The conjugate system was first used at the Dynamo Club in the former Soviet Union. They had 70 highly qualified lifters from whom to gather input.

At Westside we have had over 70 Elite powerlifters who have provided data over the years, in addition to many highly skilled athletes from all sports, just like the Dynamo Club.

The training cannot be a flat loading system; that is, the volume cannot be the same when the intensity goes from a low of 60-70% to a high of 90-100%. Through years of experience, it is known that to gain better results, one can increase the training load. This can be done by increasing the number of workouts, increasing volume, and raising intensity, making workouts more complex through special exercises.

Periodization plays different roles in training. At Westside we use a 3-week pendulum wave. After 3 weeks, we failed to become stronger or faster. To use the wave, go up in bar weight for 3 weeks using 8-10 sets with the suit straps down. Base the weight on a contest max: use 50%, 55%, and 60% over the 3 weeks. Then wave back to 50% the following week. Using weights based on a box squat max, use 75%, 80%, and 85%. For a preparatory phase that lasts 9 weeks, with a Safety Squat bar max of 640, it looks like this.

First wave

325

10 sets 375 2 reps

2 reps 10 sets 2 reps

light band--70 pounds of tension 415 Second wave med. band--140 pounds of tension 375 415 Third wave 10 sets 8 sets 8 sets

325 2 reps 2 reps

10 sets

2 reps

strong band--260 pounds of tension 325 375 415 8 sets 6 sets 2 reps 2 reps

8 sets

2 reps

You can switch bars to a 14-inch cambered bar, front squat, Manta Ray, or a regular squat bar for a 3-week wave, increasing bar weight or chain or band weight, or a combination.

For the strength speed cycle, a rule to follow is 2 weeks. To

do this, use about 50% band tension and 50% bar weight. Joe Bayles did a 2-week wave for strength speed with 520 pounds of band tension and 505 pounds of bar weight on a parallel box using 4 sets of 2 reps on week 1 and 3 sets of 2 reps on week 2 with 545 in bar weight and 520 in band tension. Going longer than 2 weeks for strength speed is too taxing on the CNS.

For speed strength Chuck Vogelpohl uses 440 pounds on the bar plus 110 pounds of band tension on the box and 260 pounds of tension at the top. This is done for a 3-week wave for 10 sets the first 2 weeks and 8 sets the third. The bar weight goes to 480 for week 2 and 520 for week 3. A speed strength cycle precedes a strength speed cycle.

A speed strength cycle should precede a circa-max cycle.

With two major meets a year, a circa-max wave will last 3 weeks. The bar weight is 47.5%, 50%, and 52% of your contest best, with 40-45% band tension. Week 1: 435 x 5 sets of 2 reps plus 440 pounds of band tension. Week 2: 485 x 4 sets of 2 reps plus 440 pounds of band tension. Week 3: Work up to a max single. “Dollar Bill”, a 308, and Phil Harrington, a 181, have done 600 pounds plus 375 pounds of band tension to squat 900 and 905, respectively, at a meet. Phil’s 905 was a world record at 181.

These results are very reliable. The math reveals that your contest squat is about one-third higher than your box squat max with the suit straps down and no knee wraps. The results will vary about 3% either way. Greg Panora made a box squat with 645 plus 440 pounds of bands to squat 1000 at 238 and total 2485, a world record at 242.

The larger the squat, the greater the band tension must be. The band tension must be great on the box as well. We use a 2-week wave for a circa-max cycle if three large totals are attempted in one year. Greg

won the 2006 APF Nationals with an improvement from 2255 to 2369. In September, Greg made a 2485 total. For the September meet, Greg did 505 for 2 sets of 2 reps and 555 for 2 sets of 2 reps with 440 pounds of band tension on week 1. Week 2, he worked up to 645 with 440 pounds of band tension. He squatted 1000 pounds at the meet, a 60-pound PR.

Remember, you must have good form on both a box and a contest squat and be mentally prepared as well as being in a highly trainable state.

Training for a meet will take its toll on anyone. A period of 1-2 weeks to download the total volume and intensity must occur. This period is referred to as the delayed transformation phase. Don’t take heavy weights 1-2 weeks before a meet. All this does is show a lack of confidence. If you are worried about your opener, you must be scared to death to take a third attempt in front of real judges.

For benching on the dynamic method day, every 3 weeks change the reactive method that you use, e.g., stronger bands for 3 weeks or more chains each week for 3 weeks or adding weight to weight releasers each week. The bar weight must stay the same.

For speed deadlift pulls, the bar weight is 50% of your max deadlift and 30% band tension at the top. For deadlifts the band tension remains the same, but raise the bar weight slightly for 3 weeks, then return to the original weight.

The max effort for improving the squat, bench, or deadlift must be rotated each week. A 1-week plan is always used for max effort day. The conjugate system was intended for highly skilled lifters, but at Westside, when we start a new lifter who shows promise, he is placed in one of our groups and trains just like the advanced, and it has yet to fail.

One-week and 3-week cycles are arranged to produce high results at meets, where they count. A

yearly plan must be divided into 1-week and 3-week plans to fit a year of competition. It doesn’t matter how strong you are before a meet or after a meet. It counts only on meet day. With 13 lifters with totals above 2300 and 5 over 2500, our system has served us well.

Apollo Shoes Audit Plan Memo

...SUBJECT: (GA-5) Materiality for Apollo Shoes From analyzing the data from the financial statement of Apollo Shoes.Inc, I had found many points that was found to be skeptical of containing material misstatement of a company’s assertions. 1. Independent auditors’ concept of materiality As an independent auditor, our goal is to obtain the reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement. In consideration of the usage of the outside user of a company’s information, material misstatement may influence the user’s point of view while making decisions. In addition, materiality is a matter of professional judgement that the engagement partner must decide in each audit engagement. At the same time, most importantly, in an audit of financial statements, the auditor's judgment as to matters that are material to users of financial statements is based on consideration of the needs of users as a group. 2. Common measure of materiality Financial statement measurements and information in some footnote disclosers are not usually presented in the most accurate amounts. So, choosing an appropriate benchmark such as total net assets, profits before tax, total revenue can relate directly back to the financial statement. In addition, looking at the calculation of those key number amounts’ percentages, ratios, levels of rounding to zero could detect abnormalities or materiality when compare to the benchmarks such as industry standards, company...

Part A: Test of Controls [1] Evaluate the appropriateness of Darrell’s conclusions relating to the first two controls: [a] Is it acceptable to use the same set of transactions and the same sample size to test two different controls? 1. a. Darrell should not resort to using the same set of transactions and same sample size to test the first two controls. Although all sales pass through both controls and the tolerable deviation rate is the same, the expected population deviation rate varies, meaning that Darrell should use a new randomly chosen set of transactions for the second control. In the first control, since it is moderately important the deviation rate is targeted at 8%. The population deviation rate is set at 1%, indicating that a sample size of 58 should be used, with an allowance for 1 deviation and still be assumed tolerable. In the second control, the tolerable deviation rate is still set a 8%, although now the population deviation rate is set at 2%, increasing the sample size up to a set of 77 transactions. In addition, there is now an allowance for 2 deviations within the set. [b] Do you agree with Darrell’s conclusions with respect to these first two controls? If not, why not?

Audit Evidence of Grande Store Case When it came to the audit of the Grande Store there was insufficient numbers (four out of 1,100) to be an exact for the confirmations that were made regarding what was spent by McClure Advertising Credits. With 114 pages, 1,100 vendors and $300,000 at least 1% should have been audited for each vendor. Getting information to confirm by an outsider who has the qualifications is reliable and acceptable but it should be in written form. The auditors of Grande Store used the phone. This alternative procedure might be acceptable but it should never be used. The auditors felt the differences in the audit were immaterial, but the auditors should have went further and found out the reason for these differences. If the auditors had kept track of the differences they might have found that there were many errors this causing them to find the reason why there were so many differences (Arens, Elder, & Beasley, 2012, pp. 175-206). When it came to testing the ad’s the auditors should never rely on just internal documentation. By trusting the internal documentation they did not have sufficient enough evidence to support the credits.

Tim is on site at the client’s headquarters and has only two sections to review: inventory reserves and accounts receivable. Inventory Reserves While reviewing the inventory working papers of Total Computer, Inc., Tim focused on the lower of cost or market (“LOCOM”) inventory reserve, which had been identified as an area of audit risk. The working papers included a schedule prepared by the client showing beginning and ending balances, write-offs, and the current-year provision. Sarah Byrd (Audit Staff) summed the schedule and traced the ending LOCOM reserve balance into the general ledger without exception. Further, Sarah documented in a memo that she held discussions with Betty Bingham (Controller) to gain an understanding of the client’s assumptions and judgments regarding the calculation of LOCOM inventory reserves. Betty prepared the LOCOM reserve based on her extensive knowledge of the company and the computer hardware business, as well as, her discussions with Jerry Lee (Director of Marketing).

...objective of financial reporting is to assist a government entity in fulfilling its obligation to be publicly accountable and to enable users to assess accountability (GASB 2007; Government Accountability Office [GAO] 2007). Budgeting, a process whereby government administrators forecast expected revenues and identify planned expenditures, is an integral part of accountability, and the extent to which a governmental entity adheres to its budget is a major consideration when assessing accountability. In August 2005, Violet Bay1 taxpayers were informed that their school system had run a $7 million deficit after several previous assurances that the system was fiscally sound and would finish the year with a surplus. By November 2005, an external audit determined that the actual deficit was $12.1 million. Three months later, a special grand jury report was released describing the causes of the financial crisis and addressing the means to correct the situation. What went wrong? Place yourself in the role of an auditor or a consultant and identify the problems.

We will begin on January 11, 2011 and end February 5, 2011. The audit will follow a tentative time budget (reference P-1 Time Budget). Our objective is to correctly attest, following AICPA rules, as to whether the company Peach Blossom Cologne has issued financial statements that are fair by GAAP. The team has identified various risk factors involved in this audit engagement. As evidenced by our Internal Control Questionnaire, PBC has failed to prepare an organization chart, which would ensure that the employees are aware of their restricted duties and responsibilities to the company. We have also identified that management does not require personnel who have financial responsibilities to take annual vacations, which increases risks that frauds and/or errors may not be caught in the absence of the employee. Also, output devices such as printers are not located in a secure area and LAN reports are left unlocked. Upon further consideration of internal controls, we have noticed a few weaknesses regarding the handling of mail and separation of duties. All of these internal control deficiencies will be considered in the audit of PBC’s financial statements. Our team’s initial horizontal, vertical and ratio analyses have raised a few...
