Trust that waviness will yield better results than sameness, because, in the end, you can do the same thing every day, as long as you don’t do the same thing every day.
Great article. My MP goal is 1/2BW or 36kilo. I will need to figure this out w waviness PlanStrong concepts.

If you look at Pavel’s original ROP plan the heavy, light, medium days are wavy.
Thanks for the article. I have always been curious about plan strong (since years ago when it was being developed – don’t think it is coming to Australia or I missed it) and like the concepts you talk about.
I ride the wave literally : My strength training has had to evolve a bit to accommodate ocean ski paddling (think sprint kayaking with waves) and that takes a bit out of me – grip, lower back for one – making DL hard. It is good because the paddling has a different training day every day (the ocean is never the same) – so I get the random variation without trying.
But for my strength work it is hard to have the heavy days. The light are easy of course, but I feel like its unnecessary because I don’t have the heavy days to balance them. So I sort of just keep things med-heavy. Which I can do and still slowly (very) get stronger or keep my strength, but I know it’s not ideal.
Do you have any suggestions how to mix up these two types of training – a more power/sprint kayaking session (I will go in most conditions under 40km wind) which I have no control over, combined with a strength session I can do whatever I like, except the super heavy (my DL in particular suffer due to the lower back, grip fatigue – my chins, dips ok, press sort of). If I did go uber heavy, I would be fatigued paddling, and tip out (my ski is super narrow and unstable – unless it is moving, like a shark).
Thanks for your thoughts. Really appreciate that you give your time to write and comment.
You have to follow what Pavel calls Tactical Periodization where the sessions are varied based on the demands “outside” the gym.
On a “heavy” ocean day you might match a light gym day for example.
I’m not sure if you can look at conditions for an upcoming week and “plan” how it would look and of course adapt to the changes.
I think this is what I need, Brett. I hit simple a year ago and have been able to hit the solid standard on TGUs for months, but I’m way outside 5 min on my swings @ 40kg. Grip strength is a limiting factor, and perhaps conditioning is too. I’m keen to push through solid to sinister, but have obviously plateaued.
How do I wave my S&S routine? 200 swings once a week at 32kg in tight timing? That’s pretty lactic, right? Focus on grip strength with heavy carries once a week (no swings that day)? Thanks.
Insightful post. It underscores why Q+D and the StrongFirst approach are so effective. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your experience, Brett.
The Braves’ eventful trade deadline brought in three right-handers with closing experience, one of whom who was an All-Star last month. It didn’t take long for the team to make a change.
Shane Greene, who converted 22 of 25 save opportunities with the Tigers, has began his Braves tenure sluggishly. As a result, the team will turn to Mark Melancon as its primary ninth-inning option.
“He had 51 saves a few years ago,” manager Brian Snitker said. “He’s been through the wars. Nothing is going to faze him. He’s been a reliable pitcher for a long, long time. So from playing against him and seeing how he prepares, he’s just been really good for a long time.”
The trio of newcomers appeared in Friday’s win over Miami. Chris Martin opened the eighth, walking a batter and allowing a pair of singles. Martin registered two outs before Greene replaced him.
Starlin Castro singled off Greene to plate another run. Martin was charged all three runs in the inning, a frame in which the Marlins pulled within 6-4 before Ronald Acuna homered in the ninth to expand the lead again.
It was Greene’s first scoreless outing with the Braves, since the run was charged to Martin. Greene, an All-Star who was among the deadline’s most sought-after players, had allowed five runs in his first three innings with his new club.
The Braves planned for Greene to close Friday, but Martin’s inability required an early entry. Melancon pitched a scoreless ninth and was named the primary closer following the game.
“We have three of them – four of them, we have four or five guys down there (who can close),” Snitker said. “It’s also going to depend on matchups and hopefully guys need days off and we have guys to turn to. Hopefully we get hot enough to where we need them all.”
Melancon, 34, has recorded 3-1/3 scoreless innings in four appearances with the Braves. The team acquired him from San Francisco at a marginal cost due to his $14 million price tag in 2020, but he boasts a resume unmatchable in the Braves’ bullpen.
As Snitker said, Melancon recorded 51 saves with the Pirates in 2015. He’s notched four seasons with 30-plus saves, and seven seasons with 16 or more finishes. He’s had five seasons in which he’s exceeded 70 innings (he’s at 49-2/3 this year).
“He’s good,” catcher Tyler Flowers said. “He’s got the ability to throw both his pitches on both sides of the plate at any time. It’s pretty neat to have a guy who has that kind of command, front-door in curveballs with two strikes, backdoor in cutters, throwing cutters up and in, down and away. It’s what I expected but I’d say it’s a little better than I expected.”
Melancon was initially named a middle-relief option when acquired, with Martin pitching the eighth and Greene handling the ninth. The trio was acquired to make a difference in the postseason, so the Braves have time to help them rekindle their past performances.
But Melancon provides the “safest” option right now. He’s been the clear best of the three and Snitker, who puts ample value in a player’s history, likely sees Melancon as the arm he trusts most. As is usually the case, the situation is fluid. For now, Melancon will get the majority of calls in the final inning.
“He’s been through a lot in his career, so I don’t think any of the moments will get to him,” Flowers said. “Success or failure, I don’t think it’s something that’ll carry over. He’s been in that role. He’s had a lot of success in it. I think he understands himself really well and knows what he needs to do to execute pitches. When you do that, you typically get guys out.”
About the AuthorWe don't refuse to extradite US citizens.  To be honest, I was amazed to hear that some countries in Europe do that, and I'm still a little unclear on why a country would do that.  Why does the citizenship matter?  Like, what's the rationale for a country to shield criminals that are citizens?

&gt;The right of a country to refuse to extradite one's own nationals is probably the greatest single obstacle to extradition. The United States has long objected to the impediment, and recent treaties indicate that its hold may not be as formidable as was once the case.

Like, if I murder someone in a country and then flee home, why does it make any sense at all to distingush between the person who fled and the person who was caught?

The Hague thing is a fairly extreme reading of the statement.While the song continued to play, I saw the Lord enter a large wooden dance floor and approach His Bride who was standing alone awaiting His arrival. Everyone else had moved to the sides of the room encircling the couple. It was just the Lord and the love of His life embracing. They began to dance across the room moving together in graceful unison. It looked like it might have appeared on the day when Jesus walked upon the water. It was a gliding dance, not like the planting of feet in measured dance steps. The bride allowed the Lord to lead and she followed in perfect oneness yielding herself to the gentle touch of His direction.
This dance was taking place because the Lord wanted to demonstrate to those watching His heart and passion for His Bride. In the dance and embrace, the Bride was learning the feel of His touch and how He moved. No one else who wanted a turn dancing with the Bride could teach her how to move in such perfect union with Him. This intimate instruction was only available between the two of them. He asked her to wear the red dress because it was His favorite color on her.
