In this episode of Table Talk, I break down the essentials of conjugate training with a focus on keeping things straightforward and effective. I cover the importance of max effort and dynamic effort work, why bringing up weak points matters more than riding your strengths, and how to approach recovery without overcomplicating things. There’s a ton of Q&A, where I dig into real-world issues like managing accessory volume, improving technique, and dealing with sticking points. Whether you're new to the sport or an experienced lifter hitting plateaus, this episode offers practical advice to help you stay consistent and keep making progress. It’s all about cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually works.
