Triphasic Strength Training 101

Few football coaches have the time to become experts in the field of strength training. Coach Steinfeldt's 38 minute tutorial of the kinesiology behind triphasic training is invaluable for any coach charged with running their own off-season weight program. Coach Steinfeldt offers simple definitions of the eccentric, isometric, and concentric movements. His instruction is so clear that you will be able to confidently walk into your weight room with a working knowledge of triphasic training after watching.

Teaching the Three Phases of Triphasic Training

Steinfeldt provides exemplary instruction on effectively teaching the eccentric, isometric, and concentric movements. Proper technique for both the lifter and the spotter are laid out in great detail, enabling you to effectively instruct your athletes on mastering each of the three phases of triphasic training.

Running an Efficient Weight Room

Getting a weight room full of high school football players to operate with some semblance of order is no easy task. Although Coach Steinfeldt's primary focus is on providing a tutorial on triphasic training, he weaves valuable advice on how to operate an efficient weight room throughout his presentation. You're sure to find the explicit instructions on the role of the spotter particularly useful.

This video will arm you with a solid understanding of the kinesiology of strength training, and a clear understanding of teaching proper technique. The most appealing feature of Coach Steinfeldt's presentation is its simplicity: get your athletes to move a lot of weight and move that weight explosively. This presentation will make any coach far more competent in the weight room.
