Awesome book full of easy to understand concepts and principles. Cal and Ben show the science behind their system, how it applies to athletes, and how to adjust it based on one’s situation. All in all a great read that’ll show you new concept/ideas, while reinforcing the basics.

Great, simple book about training athletes in a systematic, organized manner. Coaches who want to understand the training of beginners all the way to elite athletes need this resource in their libraries, My only wish is that the paperback came out when the digital copy was available!

I purchased this book for my boyfriend. He is in love with it! He did not realize it was going to have so many workouts in 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.

I saw Cal Dietz at a NSCA hockey conference and he talked about his Triphasic System for training athletes. I am a Strength & Conditioning Coach and own my own Training Center. This book is a must have for your library if you are in this field. Book is very well done with a lot of practical and useful information. Great read!

Cal Dietz is the real deal. I’ve listened to him speak on a number of podcasts and followed his published articles for years. The man knows his training systems. I’ve begun using his Triphasic Training systems with my high school track program during our off-season training after feeling like we’d been stuck in a bit of a rut lately. The adaptations are coming quickly and the athletes have responded positively to the fresh stimuli. A highly recommended read.

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.

I’ve yet to come across a book about training that as well documented as this one. Filled with both common sense and solid scientific studies on what works, this is a must have for any athlete who’s looking to gain more explosive strength. Every time I re-read it, I learn something new.

One of the best books i’ve read on strength training.

Implementable concepts with plenty of charts and diagrams. Have implemented in powerlifting training and saw positive impact on my training and competition lifts.
Those who dislike it seem to have limited training knowledge and/or method application.
