Why Triphasic Training Works: Neuromuscular Mechanisms and Sensor Data
Most programs train max strength, speed-strength, and reactive strength separately. Triphasic training layers all three at once, backed by 800Hz IMU data.

Maximal Strength Phase Programming: 85-100% 1RM Zone
A meta-analysis of 21 studies and 521 lifters found loads above 85% 1RM drive neural gains hypertrophy work cannot match. Here is how to program that zone.
