One of my professors at the University of Oregon taught about Selye and the body's adaptation to stress. I used these theories in developing systems of changing sets and reps by experimenting with variation. Eventually, this turned into the BFS Set-Rep System and BFS Total Program.&nbsp;</P> <P>Whoever thought of using Selye's theories first is not important. What is important is that variation is the key to sustaining progress over a year or career of training. Dr. Stone uses variation in his periodization model which is influenced by Russian/East European research. Bigger Faster Stronger uses variation in a more compact periodization form which is constructed to meet the needs of American team sport situations with psychological considerations. Dr. Stone began by speaking in terms
