    How many hypertrophy lifters here employ a formal periodisation system?

    How many of you that are not running a PL program employ some sort of periodisation? What is your plan? Has it been successful? (PL'ers please chime in too).

    Hypertrophy and Rep-Range Chart...

    Rippetoe and Kilgore put this chart together. Seems to contradict some opinions on rep range, specifically from those that say "anything over 15 reps is useless". Thoughts?
