Elite Athletic Development with Coach Cal Dietz


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.
