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.

Two mildly terrified but very stoked quads. And yes — I even snuck into the global list, sand still in my teeth and my kite looking like it...

Hola from S Padre TX— where the wind is howling like a metal concert in a wind tunnel and your favorite nerd is about to get yanked into low-Earth orbit by a very caffeinated kite. Jodie and I are down here soaking up sun, salt, and enough wind power to run a small village.She’s been crushing her rides — I’m basically a proud kite husband at this point, nodding approvingly while the wind tries to remove my eyebrows.
