I bought Practical Programming a little while ago because I believe my knowledge of periodization sucks balls.

I consider myself an intermediate lifter as the last year linear work gives me little to no improvement.

A sample routine for an intermediate lifter includes heavy, medium, and light days. Light days being enough to keep fitness going without bordering overtraining.

Here's my problem. I just can't wrap my head around dropping in 2-3 days of conditioning to the 3 days of lifting. If for example I do M-H-L and then H-H-L for lifiting week after week, where do sprints and LSD fit in?

My brain is fried from thinking about this. I know the answer is right in front of me but I'm looking for suggestions. Anybody?

Between the heavy and light days?

all 2-3 days of conditioning? I would imagine sprints after the heavy day would actually be a good idea as it gives me more time to recover until the next heavy day.

When I went to pizza hut today, I ran across a rather pleasantly plump and fine feminine specimen. I fixated my lustful gaze upon her eyes, then did that kind of sensual overlooking of the body. You know the type of look. You look down their body and then back up, as my eyes reached hers again I smiled.

We have the carnival in town and supposedly if she can find the time she said she'd meet me down there to hangout.

You need to consolidate CNS-intensive activity to properly manage recovery. Things like sprinting should go on lifting days; this way the CNS fatigue is grouped together to allow longer recovery. Things like LSD, which are not CNS intensive, should go on off days. These will aid in muscle recovery and not tax the CNS so everything works synergistically.

That is absolutely brilliant and would solve my problem right there. I told you it was right in front of my face. Thanks Donut!

Intense GPP (sprints, sled pulls, etc.) should be done immediately following your lifting. Low intensity cardio should be done on "off" days. Those templates are not written for people who are concerned with getting their LSD runs in.
