Okay so im just trying to grasp how to construct a non traditional periodized routine. from what ive been reading about studies done like Rhea et al. (2003) i wanted to do daily undulation ( i cant spell) so i could gain both strength hypertrophy and the general conditioning sarcoplasmic hypertrophy
so what i thought up was:
monday:3 sets of 6 reps for upper body
tuesday: 3 sets of 10-12 reps for lower body
Wed: cardio day
thursday 3 sets of 10-12 for upper
friday 3 sets of 6 for lower
now from what i gather that should do hte trick for both strength and general conditioning gains, however, do i just keep doing this all year? taking a week or so off every month between starting a new cycle? or would i change it after about 4 weeks to something different? like perhaps 3x3 for power and then 3x15 for stamina for 4 weeks, then back to the 3x6 and 3x10-12? how often, and how long should i have non weight lifting periods for? is one week suffienct rest to encourage more adaptation?
thanks for any help 
The key here is to try and find what works for your body. It will take some time for you to figure this out. A little trial and error will tell you what the best is for you.
I’ve been doing similar workouts to yours, as I mentioned in another thread, and have yet to really put my finger on the best periodization for me. I really believe there is no one size fits all.
I certianly don’t see any problems with what you are suggesting, however you didn’t really mention how you were breaking up the weights, i.e. light vs. heavy, but I assume you can figure that out.
how i would be breaking up the weights? im not sure i understand what you mean, i was going to go for my 10-12RM on light days, and as soon as i can do 10-12 reps up the weight and my 6RM on heavy days and 3RM on power days if i decide to change it up into that
the key is variety. just be sure to record everything, and also follow a program’s set/rep structure-Alwyn Cosgrove wrote a good one on undulated periodization.

That’s exactly what I meant…
well now isnt that convinent 
i decided to go 2 weeks 3x6/3x10-12 and then 2 weeks 5x3reps/5x6reps followed by a week of either no lifting or try some light olympic lifting and then repeat
10-12 reps should give me decent muscular endurence right?

After only 4 weeks I wouldn’t take an entire week off. Do that after 12-16 maybe. Other than that, I would agree you would increase your endurance with that plan.
