Coaches
Adam Robinson and Damon Artiss

Triphasic Training is a specific training programme designed to improve power production! By training the individual muscle contractions this programme can really help improve the rate of force production which can have a huge impact on overall strength and aspects of sports performance.

The programme itself is divided into 3 phases:

  • Phase 1: Eccentric
  • Phase 2: Isometric
  • Phase 3: Concentric

Each phase focuses on these individual actions of muscle contraction, introducing particular stressors with the aim to help specific muscle adaptation. Using a variety of exercises and tempos this programme aims to help, teach and develop an athlete's ability to produce force, improve strength and ultimately use these aspects in their chosen sport or gym activity.

This programme is suitable for any team or individual sports performer who is looking to improve their strength, speed and power both in the gym and on the field, while advanced lifters and gym-goers can gain similar attributes while varying their training focus for a 12 x week period.
