The beautiful thing is in all three phases of the Pendulum swing, you have the weekends always off.
After your functional strength week, you start working your way back to what you did in week one:
Week 1: Structural 1 (hypertrophy: high volume/low intensity)
Week 2: Structural 2 (hypertrophy: moderate volume/moderate intensity)
Week 3: Functional (strength)
Week 4: Structural 2 (hypertrophy: moderate volume/moderate intensity)
Week 5: Structural 1 (hypertrophy: high volume/low intensity)
All three phases:
-Weekends off
-At least three recovery days in every phase (four in strength phase)
-While the volume decreases, the frequency increases.
