The Conjugate System

The conjugate system is a training approach that combines multiple methods in a concurrent fashion. This system creates frequent opportunities for adaptation by condensing methods that would traditionally be periodized into separate phases or blocks. Within each microcycle, accumulation, hypertrophy, strength, and power modalities are applied, with adjustments made based on an athlete’s specific goals.

This approach provides a more dynamic and flexible way of training, ensuring that athletes can continually improve across multiple domains. By integrating these methods into a cohesive program, the conjugate system maximizes long-term progress and adaptability.
