Full Support PDF to TP2 - on us

Greetings as I (Dr Mike T here), snuck away for a couple minutes from the NSCA Massachusetts State Clinic here today Saturday to send you a great update. Huge thanks to the 275 people that came to my keynote talk here this AM covering material from TriPhasic Training II, co-authored with Coach Cal Dietz. It was great to chat with you many of you today also. Wanted to let you all know that we have the electronic PDF that comes with the TP2 book all updated once again! It has a ton of programs,...

Since February 8th, I (Dr MIke T here) have implemented a daily cardiovascular training regimen, maintaining perfect adherence for 47 consecutive days without exception. This protocol wasn't designed for optimal conditions, but rather to test the efficacy of absolute consistency regardless of circumstances. The daily sessions have varied considerably: 15-minute Zone 2 work performed at 9pm despite significant fatigue 6-minute progressive interval sessions conducted pre-dawn High-intensity...

Happy Saturday and I hope you are charging up to crush it this week. Today we are chatting about the role of the aerobic system to support lifting and sports performance. Remember - the key is to do high quality work first, then repeat it. Your athlete's aerobic system is what allows them to recover faster during training from set to set and even session to session; thus you can do more high quality work. Functional Reserve Range A key concept to understand is Functional Reserve Range (FRR),...

One of the biggest overarching principles of the Triphasic Training II book is the ability of your athletes to perform high-quality work. If you're primarily focused on strength training and have been avoiding aerobic work, you're likely leaving significant gains on the table. The Issue in the Weight Room "Any idiot can make another idiot tired." -Verkhoshansky Conditioning is just as important for strength athletes as it is for endurance athletes. Why? Because it allows you to continue to do...

We are back today with 2 things for you. I) Book Club Featuring Triphasic 2 I wanted to let you know about the Strength Pages book club as they are going to feature the Triphasic Training II book coming up. Check them out at https://samelsner.gumroad.com/l/strengthpages Note- there is a small fee, but we don't make a dime off it. 2) Question of the day: "How long should my athletes rest between sets?" It's one of the most common questions we get, and most coaches "out there" are making a...

We are back here once again and and the great Dr Anthony Donskov pulled the one and only Cal Dietz from his hole and stuck a microphone in front of him to break down a bunch of concepts featured in the Triphasic Training II book. Here is the full podcast below: >> Podcast on YouTube << >> Podcast on iTunes << Here is what went down: 00:00:00 What is on my reading list? 00:03:25 What are the foundations of triphasic training? 00:10:50 The importance of knowing how to think inside the box....

We are back here after a crazy busy weekend as I (Dr Mike T) here was doing some consulting in Denver CO and got to shred the gnar at Copper Mtn on Sunday before flying home on Monday. We are stoked for the upcoming Q and A! that is set for Wed - tomorrow- Feb 5 at Noon CST for 1 hour. If you purchase the book between now and when the call goes live, you will get a 1 hour group bonus Q and A with Cal and myself. Confession - I had the permissions below set wrong and changed it yesterday, so...

Wow, you crushed it and we hit our stretch goal of 100 reviews on Amazon by midnight of Jan 31, 2025. Amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! As of Jan 30 I was able to get back to everyone who sent an email or IG message with your code to get the Triphasic Recovery Manual as promised for your review. If for some reason you do not have it, please reply to this message. I (Dr Mike T) will be working on getting back to you later Monday or Tues as I am consulting in CO right now. Thank you!...

Wow, you are the best! Seriously, we are blown away about the response for Amazon reviews. In the last newsletter, a friend challenged us to get 30 reviews by the end of the month and did not think we would pull it off. Of course I thought differently as I know you are dedicated action takers. In short, you CRUSHED that number! We are right now at 60 reviews in Amazon! Oh heck ya! You doubled our expectations. Amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. In return, I (Dr Mike T) will send you...

Three big things for you tonight, 1) Bonus Q and A Call- Feb 5 at Noon - 1pm CST If you purchased in Jan, you can show up for free on it. To reward fast action people, if you purchased in Dec you can hop on too (so you get both calls now). It will be recorded for those you can't make it. Details coming up, but wanted to let you know as soon as I got the date and time nailed down. Both Cal and yours nerdy (I, Dr Mike T) will be on to answer any and all of your questions. 2) Amazon Reviews As...
