Elite Athletic Development with Coach Cal Dietz

Published 11 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 from the road as I just rolled into Austin TX after a great time in SPI where I was alternating between getting violently slingshotted across the water by a kite and hammering out writing sessions powered by one of my not-so-secret-but-still-awesome cognitive weapons: Qualia Mind. If you’ve followed me longer than five minutes, you know I’m not the “just toss random brain dust into your face hole and hope for genius” type of bro. Most nootropics? Hot...
