Elite Athletic Development with Coach Cal Dietz

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Today on the Flex Diet Podcast I am stoked to have one the one and only - Coach Cal Dietz from the University of Minnesota.

This is the first podcast for Cal since the release of our new book, ‘Triphasic Training 2.’

...and since this book took 9 years to get done and I was the co-author, I got first dibs on getting him on my podcast- hahah.

We delve into advanced training methodologies, including the lateral sling method, periodized program setup, and Olympic lifting’s pros and cons.

Happy Sunday! Hope your weekend’s going well. Your fave nerd took the day off yesterday, packed up Black Sunshine, and made the two-hour drive north to Mille Lacs for some kiteboarding at “The Gathering” kite event.

Still managed to log 73 km and snag the #2 spot on the leaderboard. It was a blast, and, as much as gym training matters,...

I recently had the pleasure of joining Dr. Ayla Wolf on The Concussion Recovery Podcast for a deep dive, two-part series on what really happens to the brain and body after a concussion and how to recover smarter.

Now that we’ve cleansed the soul with grilled meats and questionable decisions,...
