Dynamic Effort is one of the most misapplied - and most skipped - components of the Conjugate system. But when programmed properly, it’s a secret weapon for building explosive power, refining technique under speed, and developing force output that actually transfers to the platform or the competition floor. This module breaks down what Dynamic Effort is, what it isn’t, and how to make it work for your lifters. You’ll learn the key distinctions between bar speed and moving light weights fast, how to program DE waves that actually drive performance, and why most athletes never unlock the full value of speed work. We also cover DE programming for both upper and lower body, how to manipulate resistance types (bands, chains, straight weight), and how to adapt Dynamic Effort principles for strongman athletes, raw lifters, and those without competition deadlines. Whether you're coaching beginners or advanced competitors, this module teaches you how to use speed work with purpose, not just for the sake of tradition. What You’ll Learn: How to build and execute proper DE waves (3-week and beyond) Why most lifters get DE wrong - and how to fix it immediately How bar speed affects strength development and technical carryover The correct use of accommodating resistance (bands vs. chains) How to scale DE work for different strength levels and training goals Event-specific adaptations for strongman and athletic populations Why It Matters: Max Effort builds strength - but Dynamic Effort builds usable power. If you want faster squats, quicker deadlifts, cleaner presses, and stronger event carryover, DE work is non-negotiable. But only if it’s programmed with real intent. This module helps you coach bar speed with precision, rotate wave cycles like a professional, and adapt DE for athletes who need more than just absolute strength. In short, it takes speed work from an afterthought to a cornerstone of your system.
