First off, my sincere apology for the ill communication here; between myself traveling to Europe at the last minute to some professional athletes to Cal traveling all around and then I was at the ISSN conference, a few shipping / website hiccups, project deadlines etc, ,time just got away... ...but we are back now and today I have a podcast with the man himself- Coach Cal Dietz. This was originally a bonus call for the Phasic 2 book, but it was packed with so much gold, I had to bring it to my podcast. We dig into a wide range of performance topics, including everything from the surprising benefits of using water bags in training to how footwear can affect pain and mechanics. Cal and I also discuss strategies for building muscle and improving body composition, including phasic loading for powerlifters, the nuances of cluster training, and how to train the aerobic system without compromising recovery. We even touch on some sport-specific advice, like adjusting training for cross-country athletes and the critical distinction between EU stress and distress in programming. Tons of actionable takeaways here for coaches, athletes, and curious nerds alike. Triphasic Truths: Q&A w Cal Dietz << details here Episode Chapters:

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...
