Greetings from Weatherford TX where today's question is: Are you ready to elevate your training programs beyond individual exercises and start programming from a systems-level view? In Triphasic Training I, we focused on the "micro"—eccentric, isometric, concentric components of exercise. That was all about optimizing the rep. But now it’s time to go macro. Triphasic Training II introduces the Turn On, Train, Transfer (TOTT) system: a blueprint for aligning the full training session with actual sport performance. Think of it like this: Each training session should begin with the Turn On phase—dynamic movement prep and neural activation. We love the GOAT drill and RPR techniques here. These prime the nervous system and switch on proper movement patterns. Next comes the Train phase. This is where you drive the tissue remodeling with targeted strength and power work. For advanced athletes, we recommend dropping in a method like Supra Max method. Then you finish with the Transfer phase. Here’s where you connect the gym gains to the field. That might mean using stance width as a tool:
Drop one new element from each phase into a session and your athlete’s output changes immediately. This isn’t just programming—it’s a total shift in how you design training for performance. 👉Dive into the full TOTT system in Triphasic Training II → https://triphasic2.com << order here All the best, Mike and Cal PS - Here is what Brandon Berry had to say: "Triphasic II has been ten years in the making.

Here is a common question we hear all the time about using the Triphasic Training methods: "What if you don't have spotters?" Cal's answer was really good, and it kind of flips the whole conversation on its head. The old thinking was: no spotters = no super maximal eccentrics = you're missing out. But Cal's take? The belt squat isometric might actually be the better option — not the backup plan. Here's Why The Belt Squat First, the safety piece. No spinal loading. No fear of getting buried...
The Magic Isn't in the Plan - It's in the Execution We are back and soooo apologize for the long radio silence. It has been super busy for both of us, but we are committed to sending you a ton of great info coming up. First off, a huge congrats to Coach Cal and the Women’s Olympic Hockey team for taking Gold just the other day! Cal is still in Italy with the team. Huge congrats!! One of the most common questions we get is: "If I only have 6-8 weeks, how do I set up a simple Triphasic...
Have you ever watched an athlete who looks explosive in warm-ups... but can't seem to fire their glutes when it matters? We see it all the time. The athlete who can squat 400+ pounds but their glutes shut off the moment they sprint or jump. In Triphasic Training II, we call this the "firing pattern disaster"—and it's probably costing your athletes more performance than you think. Here's the thing: Most glute activation drills are garbage. Clamshells? Please. Glute bridges for 20 reps? Come...
