When I was talking recently with my friend Dr. Andy Galpin, he mentioned he was a big fan of Cal Dietz’s Triphasic Training.
And if you’ve been in the strength game for any amount of time, you’ve surely heard of it.
I was so excited to have Cal on the podcast today to talk with us. He’s doing a lot of crazy things in the gym that sparked my curiosity – stuff like having his athletes squat with their heels up. Or Cal’s love of the single leg squat with a safety squat bar.
Cal talks about such profound training concepts, but he has an ability to break it down and make it sound so simple.
The concepts Cal talks about with us could allow any athlete to make big changes or just slight changes to their training – whether the athlete is into weightlifting, powerlifting, CrossFit, or field sports.

I am a CrossFit, powerlifting and weightlifting masters athlete and a couple years ago I did just a one week cycle of each (eccentric, isometric, concentric) and got a 15# PR on my back squat!
I had been stuck at 210# for at least a year or more…
