The Conjugate Method: A Breakdown
Overview:
The Conjugate Method is a powerlifting training program that focuses on enhancing performance in key exercises such as Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift. The method employs two main types of workouts - dynamic effort and maximum effort - for both upper and lower body regions. Adequate recovery is ensured by scheduling a 72-hour interval between maximum and dynamic training for the same body part. Each workout session consists of 4-6 exercises to target specific muscle groups effectively.
