Westside Barbell’s “Bands and the Conjugate System” program, offered here for use with the BTWB App, utilizes resistance bands in max effort lifts, dynamic effort lifts, and accessory exercises. This gives athletes a firm grasp of the key, impactful ways they can implement bands into their wider training program.
Initially introduced to the athletic training world by Coach Dick Hartzell, this system was soon adopted by Louie Simmons, who realized the value of resistance for increasing strength and speed amongst the members of the Westside Barbell gym. The use of bands in the training of an athlete also translates to acceleration, endurance, absolute strength, and in-sport performance.
The Bands & The Conjugate System cycle provides athletes with upper and lower body band exercises sequenced correctly to avoid accommodation and maintain adequate recovery rates. Expected training outcomes include increased absolute strength for both the upper and lower body, increased explosive power for the upper and lower body, and improved overall muscle size.
