This module breaks down the spine of the Conjugate Method: Max Effort work. More than just hitting heavy singles, Max Effort training is how we develop limit strength, diagnose movement issues, and refine technical skill under high output. You'll learn how to select the right max effort variations based on athlete need, how to rotate with intention (not randomness), and how to make every top set meaningful - not just a number-chasing session. We'll explore when to switch movements, how to progress them intelligently, and how to prevent burnout while building a system that lasts. This module also addresses how Max Effort training differs across populations - powerlifters, strongman athletes, raw vs. equipped lifters - and how to programme it across short and long-term arcs. Whether you're building a monster deadlift, bulletproof squat, or world-class press, Max Effort work is the primary engine - and this module teaches you how to drive it properly. What You’ll Learn: How to use Max Effort training as both a builder and a diagnostic tool The principles of intelligent lift rotation: when, why, and how How to structure weekly ME sessions for raw and strongman lifters Methods for sequencing ME variations over a 4–12 week plan When to repeat a lift - and when it’s killing your progress How to avoid overtraining while still hitting top-end intensity Why It Matters: Most lifters either underuse or misuse Max Effort work. It’s not just about going heavy - it’s about exposing weak links, building movement precision under strain, and making smart, focused decisions week to week. If you get this wrong, nothing else in your system will flow. This module teaches you to run Max Effort programming like a coach, not a lifter with a short memory. You’ll be able to troubleshoot stagnation, design smarter training rotations, and build lifters who peak stronger with fewer breakdowns.
