Pavel and Periodization

[zen_celt]

For those of you who know about periodization, would Pavel's pushup programs fill in the rujuvenation period without being too strenuous and screwing up the cycle?

Pavels pushup program? The one where you're doing pushups every hour? I don't think I would use that in the break inbetween two periodization cycles, if that's what you're asking.

The break in periodization is to let your body and nervous system heal (sorry I can't think of a better word). Something like Pavel's pushup program is very strenous on the body (I've never done it, but pushups every hour for two weeks sounds stressful as hell).

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks Iron. I know that you shouldn't lift or anything during the rest period and I know Pavel's programs are pretty intense, I just wasn't sure if it was too intense. I guess so. Thanks.
Peace and good fortune,

You're right Iron, stressful as hell. :)
