I like the Ideas of utilizing pendulum because I can incorporate a lot of different types of workouts into a cycle system.
the phases are definitely what I was looking for

What I wanted to work into this more is the complexes, strength endurance and plyometrics. Now there is plyo in this program but I was going to add something different into it and combine complexes with plyo. Another aspect that I don't know if I want to do is have two types of strength phases, thinking along the lines of DF 5x5 and WestSide or DF 5x5 and 3x3 or doing a HST 10 rep phase and a DF 5x5 for the first two phases.
so what the base of the program I'm thinking about is.
Phase 1: HST 10's or DF 5x5 or DF 5x5
Phase 2: DF 5x5 or DF 3x3 or WestSide
Phase 3: Functional Phase II (Strength-speed) Strength endurance
Phase 4: Functional Phase III (Speed-strength) complexes and plyo
Phase 5: Active Recovery/Structural Phase II (something similar what they have with light deload / DE day)
My main area I'm having problems coming up with is phases 1 and 2.
I don't mind doing a cycle more concentrate on hypertrophy then strength but then again I know DF 5x5 has some good hypertrophy but is very strength specific. Also WS is interests me and would help in max strength lifts which IMO would complement the SE and complexes.
SOOOOoooo, any input is welcome.
