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, links, videos and much much more. This is not a replacement for the book, but more of an electronic companion to go with it. There are 271 different links in the PDF below. Download it on us below Triphasic-2-PDF-support-march25.pdf << full links to the book Back to the conference I go! All the best! Dr Mike T (and Cal) PS -Triphasic 2 is now live on Amazon below in print and Kindle >> Order Link << order here "For any coach. If you coach youth, professionals, or general population you will be thanking yourself for clicking the add to cart button on this bad boy. I’ll be honest, I’m only halfway through this book. That’s because I had to stop where I was at and start implementing some of these techniques and methods with my clients and myself right away. What is the correct muscle firing pattern and what is the worst hip extension pattern? This might be the reason you or your athlete experiences muscle tightness in the lower back. Learn a quick self check on how to spot it and learn a technique to correct it immediately. The first 50 pages Alone is well worth the price of entry. Then Mike T. Nelson and Cal Dietz walk you through the GOAT drill!! Any way this book is written in a light, easy to understand and entertaining voice while still being heavy on the science…. And more importantly heavy on theory in practice. And if that isn’t value they stocked the book with a digital link with what looks like hours of video, showing and demonstrating everything and going even deeper. This is coaching gold in a beautifully done book filled with illustrations and photos. I’m getting out my highlighter and notebook and diving in for more." -Joel Yakowitz >> Order Link << order here If you do not want to get this newsletter, we will miss you, sniff sniff, but you can unsubscribe by clicking the link below and -poof- we are gone. |
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...
