The Conjugate Method is one of the most misunderstood strength training systems out there. Some say it’s only for powerlifters, others think it’s too complicated, and many claim it doesn’t build muscle. But what’s the real truth about conjugate training?

In this episode of The Everyday Strength Podcast, I break down and debunk the biggest myths about the Conjugate Method, including:
Is Conjugate just for powerlifters?
Does Dynamic Effort (speed work) actually work?
Can you build muscle with conjugate?
Is the system too complicated for the average lifter?
Do you really need to train 6+ days a week?

If you’ve ever wondered whether conjugate is overhyped or misunderstood, this episode clears up the confusion and shows you how to apply real conjugate principles to your training—even if you’re not a competitive powerlifter.

👉 Listen in to learn how to use conjugate for real-world strength, athleticism, and long-term progress!
