The Manual
The Conjugate Method is responsible for more world records than any other training system ever created. This is a 50-page manual on how to use it. It's free — because Louie taught me for free.
Louie Simmons spent decades sharing everything he knew — the science, the methods, the programming, the reasoning behind all of it — with anyone willing to learn. He asked for nothing in return. He just wanted the Conjugate Method to keep producing world-class athletes.
That approach is why Westside Barbell has produced more world records than any other training system in history — across powerlifting, strongman, track and field, and combat sports. Louie didn't hoard the knowledge. He gave it away, and the sport got stronger because of it.
This manual was built to honor that legacy. It represents 15+ years of applying the Conjugate Method at the highest levels of strength sport — distilled into 50 pages. It is not introductory, and it is not watered down. It is the system, explained properly, so you can actually use it.
It's free for the same reason Louie taught me for free. Not because it isn't worth paying for.
What's Inside
- The Conjugate Foundations The science and principles behind the Westside Method — why it works, how it differs from traditional periodization, and why it produces results no linear program can match.
- The Max Effort Method How to select, rotate, and program max effort movements to build absolute strength without burning out. The most misunderstood day in the Conjugate system.
- The Dynamic Effort Method Speed work, accommodating resistance — bands and chains — and developing genuine explosive power. Why this day does what no amount of heavy lifting can.
- The Repetition Method Accessory programming, weak point development, and injury prevention strategies. Where most programs fall apart, and how Conjugate addresses it systematically.
- Real-World Programming Creating programs, selecting exercises, and implementation strategies to effectively apply the Conjugate System — regardless of your sport, equipment, or training age.
