Phil your quads are crazy. Did you give them extra attention in your training or you just always had bigger quads? I'm posterior chain dominant and have a hell of a time growing my quads.
Hi Phil, I've been reading Cal Dietz Triphasic Training, and he says that training the same muscle group with plyo and strength in the same session can confuse your physiology, in the sense that your body won't know whether to optimize strength OR power. With that being said, I see contrast work being used a lot, where a power movement is performed after a strength movement that is biomechanical similar. I've just been confused by all this, and was wondering what you tend to do. In this video's session, are you programming lower plyos, but then upper strength, for the sake of not confusing adaptations like what Dietz recommends?
I’m working upper strength, hypertophy lower power this is what I call condensed conjugate modified for off camp using Triphasic. “Confusing the physiology” really doesn’t make much sense to me since we have to evolve as humans to adapt to any situation. With that being said contrast training allows for a greater potentiation to improve explosive power. I believe you might of misunderstood Cal since he actually does potentiation clusters and French contrast which does exactly what you said he said not to do.
@@PhilDaruStrong I got you. I think what I read specifically in his book was his criticism of "mixed methods" training, where you train power first, then strength, and then hypertrophy and conditioning, all in one session. He said that, in the context of most sports, this will "confuse" the body's physiology, and he likes each mesocycle to focus on a specific attribute at a time.
