Many mistakes were made over the first one and a half years of this program. I tested and made tweaks using Julia and me as guinea pigs so that my clients (and now you) can benefit from combining conjugate with triphasic.
During my time working under the University of Minnesota’s Cal Dietz, I saw the impact of the myelination phase in athletic performance. I also found it’s most effectively programmed with Overcoming Isometric variations of the big lifts.
So, how does this voodoo work? Honestly, I’m not sure. I don’t really care, though, because I know it works and has been a big asset to my training during the past couple of years.
What we all want is to set our freshmen up for success for the future. How we go about it isn’t about ego and “our system” or anything like that; it’s about taking the time to put thought into what you’re doing and what will be the best for them.

I had used the APRE Method with great results in the past. After trying some new things in the summer, we decided to implement these changes in the fall.
There are three types of people in the world of strength and conditioning — which one are you?

Dietz meets with Mark Watts, what they discuss is outside the box.
Strength and conditioning is constantly evolving, never at a faster rate than now.
What happens when three of the most influential coaches sit down at the elitefts compound?
