Undulation

Undulation is the system of rotating heavy neural work with lower-stress pattern or volume work so you can keep progressing without cooking your nervous system.

When you reach an advanced level of strength, your body simply can’t tolerate hitting high-neural lifts every 7 days. The loads are too heavy, the positions too demanding, and the recovery cost too high. This is especially true for deadlifts, squats, and any movement where the hinge pattern is heavily taxed.

Instead of forcing weekly heavy days, you cycle the stress:

• Week 1 — Neural / HeavyHigh-intensity lifts, top-end strength work, maximal intent.This creates the adaptation.

• Week 2 — Pattern / Positional WorkGood mornings, tempo hinge work, RDLs, accessories, and bar-speed builders.This drives recovery while still improving the movement.

• Week 3 — Neural againYou come back fresh, faster, and able to express more strength.

Undulation lets you build strength without falling into the trap most lifters hit: getting strong enough to stall because they keep training like intermediates.Once you’re lifting at an advanced level — especially approaching 3× bodyweight deadlifts — your nervous system needs 10–14 days between true neural exposures.

Undulation gives you that spacing without losing momentum.

This is how you keep strength climbing year after year instead of burning out, hurting yourself, or hitting the same number over and over.
