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.
The Weight Room Is Not the Finish Line

Your athletes got stronger. Did they get better at their sport? The First Checkpoint Transfer is a three-part problem. Build the capacity, select exercises that preserve the movement pattern, then test whether the result shows up where the athlete actually competes. The 3 x 3 Principle The Triphasic Trinity of Transfer combines three training phases—strength, power, and speed—with three transfer components in each phase. Performance Pattern Cycling helps manage opposing patterns. The Angular Shank Loading Model adjusts stance and limb angles. 3-Way Foot Integration tunes the foot to the demand. That progression is specific for a reason. In the strength phase, the model uses a wider stance and heavier loading. In power, the stance narrows. In speed, it narrows again to reflect sprinting and agility. Think “Sprint = Wide stance → Narrow stance.” The Test Functional Transfer Complexes form the backbone of exercise selection, pairing movements that reflect the rhythm and recruitment of sport. But no pairing gets a free pass. Sprint timing, agility tests, power output, and sport-specific drills tell you whether the work left the weight room. Strength is Preparation; Transfer is the receipt. The full Triphasic Trinity of Transfer—including the 3 x 3 Principle, Functional Transfer Complexes, and field-validation process—is in TP2. https://triphasic2.com << order here All the best, Mike and Cal PS - Here is what John had to say: “If you only buy one S&C book this year, this is the one.” -- John Bryan https://triphasic2.com << order here Coach Cal Dietz, U of MN 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. |

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...
