Periodized training is good. I don't think this is true periodization training though typically have and endurance (10-20), Hypertropy (10-6) and Strength (6-2) rep range.

Whereas the program above has a hypertropy, strength and something they call power, which I would say is still the strength rep range.

Also I don't like the idea of full body workouts if you go balls to the walls you won't be able to recover fast enough. I prefer splits.

It will take you sometime before you realize what weights you will have to use for these rep ranges.

Wow, that's a comprehensive document! A few of our members (and realistically probably only a few ) will love the detail in that!

The closest I've come to that style of training is training with complexes. That discussion may be of interest to you.
