The conjugate method is a multi-faceted method of rotating and linking special exercises that are close in nature to one another.

Description of the method

The most common template for this method revolves around three methods of weight training used in conjunction with one another. These three methods are:


• Overcoming maximal resistance that causes maximal or near maximal muscle tension (maximal effort method).


• Using considerably less than maximal resistance until fatigue causes one to fail (repeated effort method).


• Using sub maximal weights accompanied by maximal speed (dynamic method).
