Making the Weight Room Count: The Art of "Transfer"
|
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 her to 315 over time... does that make her a better volleyball player?” That’s the concept of dynamic correspondence if you like fancy words like we do. And that’s where the Pro Performance Calculator comes in. Plug in your athlete’s 10- and 20-yard dash times, and it will tell you—scientifically—whether they need more strength, power, or speed for the next 2 weeks. Yes, it is that simple. It removes the guesswork from periodization and gives you real-time programming direction based on what your athlete actually needs. It could have been its own product, but here it is below: Try the Pro Performance Calculator → https://triphasictraining.com/properformance-optimizer-for-training/ For example: Got a lineman who’s strong but slow off the line? Have then run a 20 yard dash, plug in their 10 yard and 20 yard times, and bingo bongo, Bob’s Your Uncle, and it will tell you what phase to work on in their training. Then... retest in 2 weeks. Adjust. Repeat. It’s the simplest and brutally effective effective. Want more? Pick up the book today! https://triphasic2.com << order here All the best, Mike and Cal PS - Here is what M.W.

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...
