What is Vertical Integration in Training ?

[@SnappyScience]

Exactly what I needed and simple to understand.

Thanks for sharing

[@cainmorano4956]

That sounds similar to the conjugate sequence system.

[@zachdechant]

yes similar in that all traits are trained but the sequence system utilized a concentrated loading period early on

What's the difference between this and concurrent?

[@zachdechant]

It is concurrent but has an emphasis while the other qualities are maintained.

What about the argument Cal Dietz makes in Triphasic that training qualities connurently confusing the nervous system and limits results. This is from Triphasic, "I’m here to tell you that this is a poor training method, and I’ll tell you why. Mixed training produces mixed results due to conflicting physiological responses. Simply put, your body doesn't know what you're trying to tell it to do .... Ultimately, simultaneous development of many parameters decreases the effectiveness of training. The human body wasn't designed to simultaneously adapt to many forms of stress" (56)

[@zachdechant]

While he's probably right about the body not adapting to many forms of stress...the triphasic method and his programs are still concurrent programs that include heavy lifting / jumping for power / energy system development / skill development etc.
