What is "Conjugphasic"? Christian Anto explains the hows and whys this system for size and strength and gains in his athletes, and how YOU can implement it and make some SERIOUS gains.

How many sets and reps do you do with max effort work and accessories? Here’s what I prescribe for my conjuphasic clients. You’ll notice I love coming up with ways to self-regulate my athletes and clients through exercise prescription and programming.
Many mistakes were made over the first one and a half years of this program. I tested and made tweaks using Julia and me as guinea pigs so that my clients (and now you) can benefit from combining conjugate with triphasic.
Are your glutes activated? Are you hinging? Is it hard to reach depth? Falling forward? Answers to these questions may reveal that the stance you’re favoring is doing nothing for your squat.
Listen as you may, but I strongly urge you to not max out once you return to the gym. I know, you wanna see exactly how strong you are and impress your friends, but resist. Here’s why.
For my wife Julia and me, strength for the general population is the area that we felt we could help and influence the most. The following is a list of helpful points that has aided us in providing successful seminars to our attendees.
Need to get stronger as a young athlete? New to the sport of strongman, powerlifting, crossfit, or just weight training in general. Here are some considerations when looking for information and help (part 1)
Being away from a barbell is great, I am enjoying this training and feel WAY less beat up. I can already tell by week three ill be ready to transition into a bodybuilding phase
The first time something FELT great and fast but LOOKED slow on video, lol. Much rather have this feeling than feeling slow and heavy but looking fast.
Deadlifts have been shy of terrible the last month or so with grip issues, fatigue, and all-around technique breakdown. Today only minor technique issues on a good top set!
This place was great, it smelled terrible, it was not clean and there was JUST enough room to squeeze around all the equipment. I still lost my hand!!!
The angle of this bar and the football bar last training cycle really hurt my shoulder. With all of the tweaks we have been doing on bench this was great
My facility does not have an EliteFTS Mono... YET, nor does the current mono have pins. This drastically affects how to use bands from the Lights (thick orange) and heavier. Next best option, just double the smaller ones...
