I guess that kinda exposes how much attention I give to what Gourd says. Oops! OK, thank you. Those three books are on my extensive list of books I've not read. So, Pavel recommends that, all you gotta do is act natur'ly?

Um ..... OK, "cycles / periodization", I get that, but I must have missed it ....? So, what are Pavel's "tension tips" &/or "tension techniques"? Mr P - Written with a huge grin: I'm surprised you don't recall them from Gordon Anderson's cut & pastes which claimed Pavel's approach to strength training is the same as Swoboda's BS. But, Pavel covers this in PttP first on page 12 where he states "Tension = Force. The tenser your muscles are, the more strength you display." He also notes that to do this, your reps need to be slower...not ramming out rep after rep...to optimize the benefits of using 'tension'. Again on page 60, he talks about this again but calls it "hyperirrandiation". In this case, it is what many of us instinctually do or were coached to do when we were first starting out: 'brace' for a big lift. A heavy squat? heavy deadlift? You certainly don't relax when getting ready to get under the bar or pull the bar off of the ground. Pretty much the same idea, but, on page 61 he talks about the benefits including improved strength, form and safety. Pavel's Naked Warrior (...warrior?) book also covers the subject in quite a bit of detail mixing in tension and bracing with the performance of one-armed push ups and pistols. I can't find my copy right now, but, there's a section in the first part of the book that talks about bracing your core and glutes, etc., to create better strength for your push up. Admittedly, I didn't get too far with the NW book in terms of trying it out, but, what I did use appeared to support Pavel's recommendations. Convict Conditioning includes some of this as well. www.strongfirst.com/unlocking-one-arm-push-up/

"Keep effort high, keep number of sets high, and tailor your rep ranges to your goals... and progress shouldn’t be a problem."

www.strongerbyscience.com/the-new-approach-to-training-volumeConclusion Upon examining the history of strength and physique sports, a nearly infinite number of strategies can be seen to have been successful. However, the most successful strategies appear to follow a few basic rules very similar to the takeaway principles mentioned earlier. Keep effort high, keep number of sets high, and tailor your rep ranges to your goals or whatever keeps you motivated, and progress shouldn’t be a problem.
