Triphasic Training: A systematic approach to elite speed and explosive strength performance

A highly detailed book about revolutionary method training designed to maximize athletic performance. Athletes are not bodybuilders and this book makes a strong case about specific methods of training best designed to make your athlete fast and powerful.

I highly recommend this book. I bought both the E-Book and the hard copy. If you are a Strength and Conditioning Coach and have not read this, you are missing the boat on what I have seen as one of the most clear and concise books on these matters out there. After laying out the much material from other icons of S+C, Coach Deitz goes on to show his concept of Triphasic Training. He proudly stands on the shoulders of those great coaches and researchers before him, to full credit, then astonishingly explains his concepts. Where he leaves others behind is that he painstakingly gives example after example and explination after explination for the phases of training. To go a step further, the detail gets stretched out into multiple format options of days per week and specific sport examples. The links from the E-Book are priceless. Could it be better..yes! Mostly because so much information is crammed in and linked to. Have I seen anything even approaching it...NO!!! Mark my words, Coach Deitz will change the game like Verkhoshansky, Siff, Simmons, Issurin, Yessis, Bondarchuk, Bompa etc...

This is a great book, for the training knowledge which in my opinion is all that matters. However, its written like someone just sat down at a keyboard and hammered away as there are multiple errors in spelling etc. If that doesn't bother you, and it does not me so much, and you're interested in the information, just buy this book!

I read all 400 or however many pages there are in this book in less than a month, it was that good. Some people are "into" strength training, and then there is Cal.... this guy is on another level. I have read dozens of sport science books, including supertraining, science and practice, block periodization, practical programming, special strength manual, bompa, etc. and this one blows them all away, both in the quality of information and ease of reading. Get it!

Profoundly inciteful ...comprehensive..must reading for those striving to become an explosive, elite athlete. The authors detail unique ways of executing the eccentric, isometric, and concentric phases of strength training as applied to optimized, undulating blocks. There are several links to downloadable highly detailed workout programs. I suspect Triphasic Training will become the standard for serious athletes. I wish the digital copy was free to those who purchased the hard copy of the book.

Looks at strength training in a different perspective than most other training books out there. Its not about programing ones squat, bench and deads to see an x amount increase in y amount of weeks like other books out there (which definitely have there place and have worked for me). Triphasic presents known eastern European techniques, and shows how the author incorporates them into his athlete's training. Worth a read to anyone looking to expand their training knowledge and practical application of such techniques. Not the be all end all by any means but does contain useful info.

I will preface this by saying I'm a dedicated meathead. Although not a part of my collegiate studies, I have attained some training certificates and am in the field of exercise. That being said, this book was initially over my head. I read, then re-read most of the book. Definitely not or the beginner looking to start out. However, once getting some background and conversing with other professionals in the field, I found the book to be extremely insightful and easy to apply. I would recommend this to people with a bit more experience than someone reading muscle and fitness.

Excellent information, can seem very technical (disclaimer I just bought on a whim to try and learn more about a podcast I had watched) but the messages are delivered clearly, and can help you formulate a new training plan or modify your existing one to break through a plateau. I would recommend to anyone looking to learn more on training schedules.

Full of valuable information.

Excelente livro! Rico em Detalhes de fácil entendimento! Bem didático!!!! Recomendo!!

Must have for coaches, no matter the sport.

The book arrived on time and in excellent condition.

Great textbook for the elite strength coach... provides a lot of practical programs to back up his theories and methodology. I've implemented Triiphasic training into my athlete's yearly training program with great results. However, its not light reading nor a training style for the general exercisers looking for a new routine.
