Elite Athletic Development with Coach Cal Dietz

Published 12 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.

Hola you glorious post-holiday survivor— I trust you had a wonderful Christmas.Or at least a loud, delicious, mildly unhinged one involving food, family, and questionable dessert decisions.

Which brings me to my single most important post-holiday rule—the one that separates people who bounce back from people who slowly slide into the abyss wearing...

If you are new here, strap in as it is time for the annual tale of Christmas Eve lutefisk style. When growing up for every year of my adult waking life on Christmas Eve that meant one thing… ….lutefisk. Up until around 11 years ago. More on why that is important coming up, but first some background for the lutefisk naïve. It is pronounced as LOOT –A – FISK.
