Announcement and Conjugate vs TP Training Question


Two things for you today from raining Minnesota

1) New printer for the Triphasic Training II book

We have a new printer for the Triphasic Training II book now. Same book, same layout, and no difference at all, but this will serve as a back up and we can control all aspects of the process now instead of bowing down to Amazon if anything were to happen.

You should not notice anything different, but if you live outside of North America, it may be cheaper on Amazon as the new printer ships from the US and many times Amazon can print in your country or closer.

The kindle version is still only on Amazon and there is not a digital PDF available; hence kindle is the only digital version.

2) Conjugate vs Triphasic

Question:

"I've always wanted the opportunity to ask you about triphasic training and block training versus the conjugate method for high school kids who are not elite athletes.
This method is very popular in my area and it is originally how I was trained as a strength conditioning coach other than basic progressive overload.
The meat of the question is if the kids are not elite is it OK to mix training?
I also could misunderstand conjugate, but the way I have always taken it that it is literally the mixing of training. Thank you - Coach Scott"

Coach Cal says

Scott,

Many people combine the conjugate method with the triphasic system as a bridge, integrating the principles of both to enhance effectiveness.
It's important to recognize that many of these concepts can be seamlessly merged into a consistent method to improve results. The conjugate system system, while similar, has been specifically designed to address key areas of development, such as strength gaps in powerlifters. My TP system is a versatile approach that works for athletes across all levels and sports, ensuring targeted growth and optimal results. All the best - Cal

Once again, when you understand principles, you can customize it to what is best for your athletes!

" Must Have For Strength Coaches

Cal Dietz’s Triphasic Training 2 is an absolute game-changer. As a strength coach, I’m always on the lookout for resources that provide both innovative programming and practical application, and this book exceeds expectations on every level.

Dietz dives deep into the science behind athletic performance and breaks it down in a way that’s easy to understand and immediately implementable. The progression strategies, exercise variations, and focus on performance optimization make it a must-read for anyone working with athletes.

Whether you’re looking to refine your programming or take your athletes to the next level, this book delivers.

I highly recommend Triphasic Training 2 to any strength coach serious about results. - Carolyn"

Dr Mike T here and I am stoked to let you know that the wizard himself Coach Cal Dietz has a breakthrough new program that's going to change how you think about ACL injuries. As you know, non-contact ACL injuries are absolutely skyrocketing... ...but here's the thing: you don't have to accept this as "just part of the game." Cal has cracked the code on something that's been hiding in plain sight for years, and he's put together a brand new program that shows you exactly how to slash ACL...

I know I am going to sound like a broken record here, but this system seems to still get no love. As you know I am talking about…. ….The aerobic system. In Triphasic Training II, we dedicated almost 25% of the book to aerobic capacity—and for good reason. This isn’t just about long runs or “getting in shape.” It’s about building the engine that drives recovery, repeatability, and even max-effort lifting. “A bigger aerobic system equates to a better-functioning athlete who can absorb more...

Have you ever trained an athlete who crushes the gym... but falls flat on the field? I am sure you have; all of us have been there. We are willing to bet you a custard donut that it’s a transfer issue—and it’s one of the most frustrating things for coaches to deal with. In Triphasic Training II, we dive deep into this problem and introduce a complete Transfer Phase, built around one key idea: “At what point are your athletes strong enough? If Volleyball Vicki back squats 275, and you grind...
