Triphasic Training 2 is an applied performance book showing coaches how to build strength, speed, and power by targeting the eccentric, isometric, and concentric phases of training.
Compressed weight-room-to-field transfer...in 2 weeks
|
"How long does it usually take for weight room gains to show up on the field?" Most coaches will tell you four to eight weeks. Cal got it down to one or two. The pairing that compressed everything Functional Transfer Complexes — or FTCs — are one of those things that sounds fancy but is actually dead simple. You pair a posterior-chain exercise with a prime time fly movement. That's it. Two exercises, done back to back. But the results are anything but simple. Cal put it bluntly: "With functional transfer complexes, I got this transfer of performance down to one to two weeks!" The COVID experiment that proved it During COVID, when Cal's athletes came back, they had terrible movement patterns. Running times were slow. Coaches were frustrated. The athletes were working hard but not seeing results on the field. So Cal ran an experiment: he deliberately did NOT use RPR warm-ups. He wanted to see if FTCs alone could fix the compensation patterns. He had athletes do reverse hypers with big toe activation paired with flying straight-leg prime times. Over 12 weeks, the hockey athletes' running patterns got smoother and faster — even though they were still skating heavy loads that normally wreck running mechanics. No RPR. No special warm-up. Just the right exercise pairings. Your go-to FTC pairings
And if you're training yourself without a team — these pairings work just as well solo. No spotter needed, no complex setup. The weight room doesn't have to be separate from the field. It just needs the right bridge. The complete FTC system — including five specific pairings, coaching cues, and how to program them into your existing blocks — is all in TP2. https://triphasic2.com << order here Keep going, PS - Here is what Steve had to say: "I picked up the book and began using drills and cues with my athletes immediately.

Can you have athletes do....gasp....bodybuidling work? Yes! Super Endurance This is the fourth aerobic method in the TP2 book and it isn't a track or a bike. It's an old-school bodybuilding circuit, built to keep heart rate parked at 110 to 170 beats per minute while the muscles do the work instead of the lungs. Seven Levels, One Rule Sets, reps, and a finishing conditioning burst all scale together: Level 1: 1 set, 10 reps, 10-second finisher Level 4: 2 sets, 12 reps, 15-second finisher...
"My athlete added 40 pounds to the squat. Why did the first 10 yards not move?" That question is uncomfortable because the weight-room number is real. If Volleyball Vicki can grind out a four-second back squat at 315, does that automatically make her a better volleyball player? "I doubt it." Weight Room vs Transfer To The Field Functional Transfer Complexes, or FTCs, pair two or more exercises to improve a specific movement pattern. The basic idea is not exotic: pair posterior-chain work with...
Why does an athlete look explosive in the first few minutes, then become a different player late in the game? Speed That Disappears Is Not Useful Pure speed is easy to admire. Repeated Sprint Ability (RSA) is harder: can your athlete hit explosive speed again and again without fading? That is the quality football, hockey, and basketball coaches actually need when every shift, down, or fast break matters. Cal and Jon Janz call their answer the Fast-Twitch Repeated Sprint Ability Sequencing...
