Shorter strength training cycles of eight or six weeks are generally good for older and more experienced lifters.

“if you're using a fairly conventional linear or wave progression the shortest cycle is generally a good idea at least for older lifters like in uh using the American powerlifting experience older lifters uh with came back at Ernie France Rick crane Rick crane especially who passed recently unfortunately so they were observing how a an older lifter can't afford to start as light because he stop losing ground too much and he can't afford to go as heavy as well or not for long so they pretty much switched to Shorter Cycles something like eight eight week Cycles even possibly six week Cycles”
