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.
Training should reflect the movements, timing, and force vectors of the sport so that they not only improve gym performance, but improve sport performance – since that is what matters at the end of the day.

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:

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.

PS - Here is what M.W. Lube had to say:

"Triphasic II is a stand alone follow up treatise to Triphasic I.

The research based information on the strength training progression of the triphasic system is presented in a very understandable format. The authors offer examples of their coaching experience and results of their respective research involved with athletes from a wide spectrum of various sports.

I have been involved with the strength training realm for over 40 years and find Triphasic II a very comprehensive and productive approach. I have personally incorporated the system into a collegiate track and field program and have recorded gains not only in strength but also in performance results.

I highly recommend any current and future coach to have this volume in their library."

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...

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...

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...
