LIFTERS

BIGGER LIFTS.
FEWER WEAK
POINTS.

POWERLIFTING. STRONGMAN.
STRENGTH SPORTS.

Every lifter stalls eventually, and the cause is usually a weak point: a muscle, a position or a skill that limits the whole lift. Conjugate training finds it, fixes it and keeps you progressing, whether you compete or not.

HOW THE METHOD BUILDS LIFTERS.

MAX EFFORT
BUILD MAXIMUM STRENGTH

You work up to your heaviest weights on a rotating exercise, so you train maximum strength without stalling on the same lift.

DYNAMIC EFFORT
BUILD SPEED

Lighter weights moved fast build speed out of the bottom and through sticking points.

ZERO WEAKNESS
FIX WHAT HOLDS YOU BACK

Accessory work targets the exact muscles and positions that limit your lifts.

BUILT TO PR

Whether you are a competitive lifter or simply want to be as strong as you can be, the goal is the same: your next personal record.

Every workout provides feedback, and Craig uses it to adjust and improve your program so you get stronger, faster.

FROM THE PLATFORM
“Having Craig as a coach was an absolutely incredible experience. I met him at a Westside seminar while prepping for nationals. Combining knowledge from his strongman career, powerlifting experience, and deep understanding of how the body adapts, he helped me break through my plateaus, and I went on to break a world squat record. Anyone would be absolutely blessed to call him a coach.”
HARRISON SMITH USPA Junior World Record Holder, 142 lb class
“I’m theoretically very close to, or have already achieved, my goal of an 800 lb total for the three lifts. I think back to the first phone call we had, when I told you what my maxes were before I stopped lifting… I’m blown away by the progress I’ve made since I hired you.”
