This 12-week Powerlifting build program is designed based on the conjugate method, which most of you may be familiar with from West Side Barbell. What we do differently is take those principles and merge them with those of scientific principles to apply them to the natural and raw lifters of powerlifting. We utilize Max effort and Dynamic effort days in such a way that central fatigue is minimized and proficiency in the big three lifts is enhanced. One of the primary focuses of this program is improving speed and power or to optimize the firing rate and synchronization of muscle fibers to increase your overall strength!
We ensure you develop your weaknesses to improve your strengths, because "Strength is never a weakness!" - Mark Bell
