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 high-quality work during your strength sessions.

Remember that the athletes who are better conditioned will dominate at the end of the training session when others start to fade.

In one experiment, athletes initially performed 8-10 singles with a given load before velocity dropped off.

After just two weeks of aerobic base building, these same athletes doubled their capacity, performing 20+ singles without significant velocity drop-off.

Their 1RM strength hadn't changed, but their ability to repeat high-quality work skyrocketed.

In the Triphasic Training II book, about almost ¼ of it is dedicated to different ways and methods to do aerobic and conditioning work since it is so important.

To that end, I (Dr Mike T here) have a cool free offer for you where you can get my full 1 hour video all about “Aerobic Training For Meatheads” at no cost.

And yes, that will also put you on my insider daily newsletter list too, but you can hop off at any time if you don’t find it useful.

In that video, you will learn:

✅ The #1 reason most lifters gas out too soon—and how to fix it (Your aerobic system determines how well you recover between sets and training sessions.) [00:12:00]

✅ How aerobic training increases your ability to do more volume and lift heavier over time (A stronger aerobic system means you can push for more total work and higher-quality reps.) [00:11:00]

✅ The truth about the “interference effect”—why you won’t lose muscle by adding the right kind of cardio (Aerobic training won’t kill your gains—unless you do it wrong. Here’s how to avoid that mistake.) [00:58:00]

✅ How improving your aerobic base actually lowers training fatigue and stress levels (Having a well-developed aerobic system reduces the total cost of stress on your body, improving recovery.) [00:17:00]

✅ Why lifting weights faster isn’t the same as real aerobic training (and what to do instead) (Metcons and circuits aren’t true aerobic work. Find out what actually builds your conditioning.) [00:45:00]

✅ How elite strength athletes use aerobic work to push their performance to the next level (Many top-level lifters secretly prioritize aerobic development—here’s why.) [00:51:00]

✅ The role of metabolic flexibility—why training your body to use both carbs and fat efficiently is a game-changer (Learn how metabolic flexibility fuels both endurance and explosive strength.) [00:19:00]

✅ How aerobic conditioning impacts long-term muscle retention and overall health (Aerobic fitness is directly tied to longevity and maintaining muscle mass as you age.) [00:09:00]

✅ Simple tests you can use today to assess your aerobic capacity—no expensive lab needed! (Find out your aerobic fitness level with a simple 2K row or Cooper Run Test.) [00:32:00]

✅ A step-by-step framework for integrating aerobic work into your lifting program without killing your strength gains (Follow this training split to optimize both strength and conditioning.) [00:56:00]
