The Conjugate Method: Cycle 2 – More Weight, More Gains
Who is this for?
This program is for powerlifters, strength athletes, and serious lifters looking to continue building maximum strength, speed, and explosiveness in the Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift. If you've completed Cycle 1, this next phase is your opportunity to push heavier weights and attack new weak points for even greater progress.
Why choose Cycle 2?
In this cycle, the intensity increases—weights go up, and new exercise variations are introduced to target specific weaknesses in your lifts. The Conjugate Method ensures you keep progressing without plateaus by combining Maximum Effort (heavy lifts) and Dynamic Effort (speed and explosiveness) training.
Each week is structured into four key sessions:
✔ Max Effort Bench Variation Day – Lift heavier and build pressing power with new exercise variations.
✔ Max Effort Squat & Deadlift Variation Day – Push lower body strength to new levels with increased intensity.
✔ Speed Bench Day – Continue improving explosive power while refining bar speed.
✔ Speed Squat & Deadlift Day – Develop even more lower body power with targeted speed work.
This program, developed by degree-qualified Strength & Conditioning coaches with over 20 years of experience, is designed to keep you progressing safely and effectively.
No plateaus. No wasted time. Just results.
