The Missing Manual for Powerlifters and Coaches Who Actually Want to Win - Full Conjugate System
After over 15 years coaching lifters from their first competition to the world stage—raw, equipped, tested, untested—I’ve built a system that finally brings it all together.
Not a quick fix. Not a cookie-cutter program. But a complete, adaptable, year-long powerlifting system grounded in the true principles of the Conjugate Method.
Introducing The Full Conjugate System: 500+ pages of programming, strategy, tools, and templates designed to guide lifters and coaches through a full competitive year.
And right now, it’s available on presale for just £19.99 until May 1st, 2025 (then it’s £39.99).
📖 Why This Book Exists - The Full Conjugate System
Most powerlifters fail not from lack of effort—but from lack of structure.
They bounce between linear and block programs, get stuck in cycles of burnout or boredom, or peak too early (or not at all). Coaches often try to scale methods that weren’t built for individualisation, leading to plateaus, injuries, or missed meets.
This book solves that. It’s designed for:
Raw and equipped lifters
Tested and untested athletes
Beginner, intermediate, and elite lifters
Coaches who need a framework, not fluff
Whether you're running two meets per year or five, training out of a garage gym or a fully equipped facility, this book gives you the roadmap—and the rationale—to train hard, smart, and with purpose all year long.
🧩 Is Your Current Training Actually a System?
Ask yourself:
Do you know when your next true peak is planned?
Are your accessories chosen to fix known weak points?
Do you rotate your max effort lifts with a purpose—or just because you saw someone else do it?
Can you explain the difference between your DE, ME, and RE sessions?
Do you know what your training will look like 3 months from now?
If you hesitated on any of those, that’s exactly why I built The Full Conjugate System. Because real strength requires real structure.
🧠 What Makes This Different?
This isn’t just another PDF template. It’s a system—one that explains the how, when, and why of every component.
Inside, you’ll find:

No more guesswork. Choose from 3-week, 5-week, or 9-week peaking models with guidance on movement selection, fatigue management, and attempt planning.

💥 Conjugate Isn’t Just Bands and Boxes
One of the biggest reasons lifters fail with Conjugate? They copy surface-level features like band tension or box squat height, without understanding the principles.
Conjugate isn’t a list of exercises—it’s a system of concurrent development that lets you build multiple qualities (max strength, speed, hypertrophy, recovery) all year round. The goal isn’t novelty. The goal is directed adaptation.
Inside The Full Conjugate System, I break down the myths, mistakes, and misuses I’ve seen over 15+ years—and how to make it actually work for real people, with real goals.
🛒 How to Get It
🗓️ Presale Price: £19.99 until May 1st, 2025 After that, the price returns to £39.99—which is still a steal for what you get.
You’ll receive the book as a fully printable, searchable PDF with lifetime access and all future updates included.
💬 You don’t need another 6-week block. You need a plan.
A plan built on experience, not guesswork. A system that respects the grind and the science. A framework you can rely on—whether you're handling 100kg or chasing 1000kg.
Because your strength deserves more than recycled templates. Because you're not just training for next week.
You're building it for the long haul.
This is The Full Conjugate System. Let’s get to work.
