I've been looking for this exact quote from Dave Tate for a couple days now... Here you go.
" My year is split into blocks that kind of repeat every year. I spend a few months in each. What are they? Mobility, strength, hypertrophy, and a diet phase." - Dave Tate
This is my new outlook on training. Training for strength is just 1 phase, but I always aim towards that goal... To become STRONG(ER).
