We made the book and the course as compliments to each other, not duplicates. The book provides more graphics and analytical content meant to be consumed at a slower pace, while the course is a way to dive into all of the theory audibly with detailed explanations of how our system works by Dane Miller. Both the book and the course provide unique content.
“Parabolic Periodization is the best course I have ever taken about programming. Dane’s insight to coaching has unlocked peak performance in his own athletes, and now he’s sharing it with the rest of us!”
- Wil Fleming
“Parabolic Periodization is a nice approach to training that has been proven by Dane over the past few years. If you want to learn how to properly classify athletes to uniquely program for different personalities, then this course will help you achieve your goal.”
- Travis Cooper
"It’s great to have a view on how Dane structures his programs! I will definitively use his system of classification of athletes with my weightlifters. Definitively a must-have book for any serious coach or athlete training for weightlifting!"

Learn the 5 Blocks
What are the phases? How are they used and how are they developed over time depending upon individual athletes? When designing a program, the ATHLETE must be the number one thought, over and over again. Coaches need to understand and solve the athlete’s problems every single block, every single week, every single day, to get their athletes on the road to championship success. By diving deep into every block and athlete type, we will be able to understand the theory and slowly grasp the integration of principles.
Understand Athlete Types
Type 1
Type 2
Type 3
What the heck are these Athlete curves and analysis? How can you learn how to use them and build them into your programming? How do different people and different personalities respond to the same exact stimuli. Coaching is not a one size fits all but understanding the athlete type will make decisions quicker and more efficient.

CanadaParabolic Periodization
This was a good read. Very insightful and a laid out training plans very well. It was more oriented towards programming for Olympic lifters, so if you're not an Olympic weightlifting athlete, you will need to make some adjustments to fit your sport.
