What is your experience level? If you are just beginning then you don't need to periodize at all. There is nothing magical about it that makes it superior to anything else. It's simply a tool that people use when needed. It is not needed for beginners since they can make consistent strength gains with a straight linear progression scheme using traditional overload principals.

At first the only thing that may be necessary before beginning a simple strength training routine is perhaps a period of "hypertrophy training" where you do 8-12 reps for a period of weeks to get used to the exercises and allow the tendons to strengthen, etc. So you can call that periodization since it is meant to get you ready for heavier loads to come and prevent injury...one of the purposes of periodization.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
