Help with conjugate periodization

yeppo · 02-05-2006, 10:37 AM

i have been studying the westside's modification of the western periodization method, which they call conjugate periodization, it sounds like an extremely solid powerlifting/strength routine but im not sure of its resluts. has anyone had any experienece with this program, and could provide me with some feedback they experienced while doing the program, did you find it to be a good program, gains in strength, etc.

thanks to anyone who can help. any other info on topic is also appreciated.

It's great for gaining mass and strength if you use the ME and RE days like in Joe DeFranco's version.

If you want mroe size, I would suggest doing Westside for Bodybuilders. Just search on it at t-nation.com. It's a really good article.

A_N_91, have you tried Westside for Bodybuilders?

I personally never tried it because I'll still in building my foundation and not trying something like Westisde yet.

But one of my friends tried Westside for Bodybuilders and Westside for Skinny Bastards II. He gained a lot on both programs. His upper body with both programs gained about the same but his lower body was a lot better with bodybuilders westside version.

But I personally haven't done it personally.

im talking about dave mkenna? dave somethings version with the max effort days then supplementary exercises and then dynamic days with speed work. basically a percentage based program, but it sounds promising. im not looking for size, im just looking for strength/power. if size comes with alot of strength then thats a bonus for me.

Just do Dave Tate's 9 week program. Adjust the volume to your liking.
