Barebones Conjugate for Strongman 3.2
Charity Edition
 
Barebones Conjugate for Strongman has been brought back into circulation as a charity release.
This programme was originally written several years ago as a practical introduction to applying the Conjugate Method to strongman training. At the time it provided many athletes with their first structured approach to combining Max Effort work, Dynamic Effort training, and event practice within a coherent system.
 
Since then my coaching, writing, and programme design have continued to evolve. Many of the ideas introduced here have been expanded significantly in later resources, particularly in The Full Conjugate Strongman System and Strongman: Beyond Barebones.
 
For this reason the 3.2 edition presents the material largely as it originally appeared rather than attempting to completely rewrite it.
The programme is being released again for a specific purpose.
 
Every penny raised from this edition is donated to MACS, a UK charity supporting individuals and families affected by microphthalmia, anophthalmia, and coloboma. These conditions affect the development of the eyes and vision and can present significant challenges throughout life. MACS provides information, support networks, and advocacy for those living with these conditions.
 
Strength sports are built on individual effort, but the communities around them are capable of supporting causes that reach far beyond the platform. This release is one small way of doing that.
Although the presentation reflects an earlier stage of my work, the core ideas remain sound.
 
The programme still demonstrates how the Conjugate Method can be adapted for strongman athletes using:
✔ Max Effort rotations that build real strength
✔ Dynamic Effort work to develop speed and power
✔ Event integration within a structured training week
✔ Posterior chain development and accessory progression
✔ Flexible programming that can be adapted to different equipment setups
 
These principles continue to underpin much of the work I produce today.
 
At £5, with every penny going directly to charity, this edition provides an accessible way to support a meaningful cause while gaining access to a complete Conjugate-based strongman training framework.
