The Absolute conjugate system adheres to a fluctuating overload strategy, as it is the most efficient and effective way to organize training to get the athlete to Point B. The video is a compelling visual representation that reinforces our belief here at Absolute. In the video, the ball on the right is waving up and down, illustrating fluctuating overload, while the ball on the left follows a linear path. It may seem counterintuitive, but the ball on the right arrives at Point B in less time.
Note: The video assumes that linear-based periodization would get the athlete to Point B. This is something that we will argue in a follow-up subscriber video, which could not occur through linear-based periodization.
