Conjugate is THE most effective way to structure training for powerlifting.
But, Conjugate needs to be applied correctly for the lifter to see the benefits.
Are you stuck at a plateau? Nagging injuries and overuse creeping in? Are you consistently hitting bigger numbers in the gym than on the platform? Do you want to understand a training system that will adapt as you do?
This lecture series is for you.
People will say that conjugate is too complex. You'll hear that conjugate lacks the specificity to prepare a lifter for meet day.
This series will give you a deep understanding of the Conjugate system to unlock the simplicity of its application. By understanding the "why" behind Max Effort, Dynamic Effort, and GPP, you will be able to tailor the system specifically to the needs of you and your athletes.
Whether you are a coach or a lifter, this series will make you better at what you do.
