Wave 6 of my annual conjugate model focuses on developing our front pin squat & barbell pin press as our max effort movements. 

Wave 6, falls into an concentric triphasic development block, so concentric intent is implemented routinely to increase movement pattern learning and increased force production capabilities. 

This conjugate split employs built-in Triphasic protocols for power development, standard westside barbell protocols for absolute strength, and EXOS methods for developing explosive athletic performance. 

Accessory work is dedicated to Olympic Weightlifting, Velocity Based Training, and accessory Repetition workouts for a 7-day split that establishes GPP specific to the wave's primary movement patterns. 

Key Performance Indicators for strength, speed, and power, are built-in throughout the training wave, culminating in a final exit testing session to measure progress & isolate future strength development opportunities.
