1- No, it’s doesn’t. The conjugate system is all about training all abilities at the same time, hence the term “conjugate”. This is what makes the conjugate system of training different from other systems. [/quote]
Well yeah, but you don’t try to bring up EVERYTHING up at the same time, with the Sam emphasis on each one. Otherwise, you would end up overtraining.
I see.
[quote] 2- Are you asking if you should do 2 max effort upper body days? Or are you asking about performing the same lift for the max effort and repetition days?
If it’s the first, no. Having 2 max effort upper body days per week is not optimal because the nervous system still needs time to recover. If it was better to have 2 max effort upper days per week, Louie Simmons would most likely have his guys doing it [/quote]
Well I was actually asking both. Lol. Tough, you’re saying that even if I just performed the same max effort lift on both the max effort and repetition days, that would still be too much for nervous system?
[quote] 3- Yes, you must rotate exercises, or you numbers on the max effort days will begin to stall and then regress. You make progress by breaking PR’s (or attempting to) everytime you step into the gym.
For example, out of my own training this summer:
week 1- Bench 5RM
week 2- Bench 3RM
week 3- Incline 5RM
week 4- Incline 3RM
week 5- Floor Press 5RM
week 6- Floor Press 3RM
and then:
week 7- New Bench 5RM <there’s the progress, and this would repeat throughout the cycle [/quote]
Oh okay. So this program is all about breaking PRs?
4- You will always apply the principle of progressive overload. It is impossible to get stronger without doing that.
What do u mean by percentage based programs?
Furthermore, are all the exercises on max effort upper day supposed to be different then all of the exercises on repetition upper body day?
Additionally, why aren’t any exercises for concentrating on the medial shoulder and any exercise for concentrating on the triceps listed on the max effort upper body day like they are listed on the repetition upper body day?
