For over 8 years, the Westside Barbell Conjugate Club has provided access to monthly Conjugate Method programming, as well as the Westside Barbell library of books, VHS tapes, and DVDs produced by Lou over the years. Recently, we have updated the club to provide members with an even better experience when accessing the most comprehensive collection of Conjugate Method information available anywhere. 

The Westside Barbell Conjugate Club is more than just monthly programming. It is the Westside Barbell Exercise Programming and Educational Resource Library. Within the club, members will not only have access to exercise programming but also to educational materials that provide unprecedented insight and knowledge into our training system. 

Whether an individual prefers reading or learning visually, the club offers content for everyone. It is our goal to preserve Louie Simmons's work and ensure that future generations of athletes and coaches properly understand the training methods he made famous. 

The Conjugate Club provides us with a platform to connect with coaches and athletes from around the world, ensuring that anyone who has an interest in our methods has the opportunity to learn them correctly. While not everyone will be able to travel to Columbus to visit Westside, the Conjugate Club allows us to teach the methods regardless of location. 

If you can’t train at Westside Barbell, the Conjugate Club represents the next best option to attain knowledge and experience with our training methods.

Whether you are interested in monthly programming, Westside Barbell history, Conjugate Method training theory, or unseen training footage, the Conjugate Club has you covered. Below, we will go over a few of the things you can expect to find when signing up as an Unlimited Access subscriber. 

Conjugate Method Exercise Programming

The Conjugate Club houses an incredible amount of Conjugate Method-based programming. Whether you are interested in strength or conventional sports, the Conjugate Club has a training plan that can help take your sports performance to the next level. Currently, we offer three primary monthly training plans for powerlifting, strongman, and Olympic weightlifting. 

Each month, a new four-week training program is added for each of these sports. The programming is posted in PDF format, making it easy to download and save for on-the-fly reference. 

Additionally, the Conjugate Method Powerlifting course provides educational materials to help individuals learn the Conjugate Method as they execute the programming. Each month, new educational materials are added to this course, along with exclusive access to an archive of Powerlifting USA articles written by Lou. If you’re a Conjugate Method powerlifter, I highly suggest checking this course out. 

Aside from the monthly programming, we also have an additional course, the Exercise Programming Archive. Within this archive, you will find years of training plans covering many disciplines, including powerlifting, rugby, tactical training, and more. 

These plans can be used as monthly exercise programming or as a reference for a Conjugate Method coach looking for new ideas to modify their training approach. 

When it comes to Conjugate Method exercise programming, the Conjugate Club has you covered. Whether you are a strength athlete, a conventional sports athlete, or a coach, the Conjugate Club has a training program that will help elevate your strengths and physical capacities. 

The Westside Barbell Resource Library

While the Conjugate Club originally started as a way to provide coaches and athletes with access to Conjugate Method exercise programming, it quickly became a library of educational content as well. The Westside Barbell Resource Library is a course within the Conjugate Club that houses all of our books, VHS tapes, and DVD’s. 

The level of content included within this resource library is unmatched. Here is a list of some of the content you can expect to find:

  • 10+ hours of Westside Barbell Webinars featuring Louie Simmons
  • Our entire DVD collection (GPP, Bench Press Workouts, Reactive Method, Bench Press Secrets, Special Strengths, Explosive Power Training, Deadlift Secrets, Squat Workout 1 and 2, and Special Preparation for Sprinters)
  • Hard to find VHS tapes such as Vogelpohl XXX, as well as Force Training with Louie Simmons and Green Bay Packers strength and conditioning coach Kent Johnson
  • All books authored by Louie Simmons

Whether you are a coach or athlete, the Westside Barbell Resource Library will provide you with knowledge and insight into our training system directly from the source. 

The Louie Simmons Archive

Also included with a Conjugate Club Unlimited Access subscription is the Louie Simmons Archive. This archive contains never-before-seen videos of Lou discussing Conjugate Method training, including the Louie Simmons Masterclass. If you never had the opportunity to learn directly from Lou, here is your chance. 

The Louie Simmons Masterclass is a series of videos in which Lou breaks down the basics of the Conjugate Method, discusses specific exercises, and teaches how to effectively use the methods to train conventional sports athletes. 

The Louie Simmons Archive also contains an unseen video of a clinic Lou conducted at Showtime Strength and Performance, 25 Q&A videos featuring Lou, an unseen Louie Simmons interview, and a tour of Westside Barbell. The goal of the archive is to ensure that Lou’s work is preserved and to allow club members the opportunity to learn the methods directly from the source. 

Additional Benefits

Aside from access to Westside Barbell exercise programming and educational resources, the Conjugate Club also provides additional resources and benefits to ensure all members learn and make progress in their training. This includes the ability to schedule a free phone consultation to answer training questions and improve understanding. 

As a member of the Conjugate Club, you can schedule a call with me at any time to ensure there are no misunderstandings and that no members get left behind in their training. We know Conjugate training can be difficult to understand for those new to the system, and the goal of these consultations is to help members obtain advice and clarification. 

Also included with the Unlimited Access subscription is access to the Westside Barbell Exercise Index. This is a constantly expanding index featuring video examples of exercise execution, allowing members to refine their technique. 

There is also a collection of 8-week specialty programs available to all members. These specialty programs include:

  • Overhead Press and Upper Body Hypertrophy Programming
  • Squats and Sleds
  • Lower Body Strength Endurance
  • Bands and The Conjugate System
  • Bench Press – Missing at the Chest
  • Bench Press – Missing at Lockout
  • Deadlift – Missing Off the Floor
  • Deadlift – Missing at Lockout
  • Sledding to Success
  • Arms and Upper Back Accessory Program  
  • Glute and Hips Accessory Program
  • 8 Weeks to a Better Overhead Press
  • 8 Weeks to Better GPP

As you can see, the Conjugate Club contains a tremendous amount of Conjugate Method exercise programming and knowledge to ensure that all coaches and athletes can train and learn our methods appropriately. 

The Westside Barbell Exercise Programming and Educational Resource Library 

When it comes to Westside Barbell and Conjugate Method content, no platform can come close to matching the Conjugate Club. Not only do club members have immediate access to all of the content listed above, but they will also continue to gain access to new content as I update the club each month. 

The Conjugate Club is the only resource library of its kind, dedicated solely to teaching the Westside Barbell Conjugate Training System. I consider this club a necessary resource for any coach or athlete using our methods. These resources aren’t just for reading once; they are resources you can reflect back upon throughout your entire athletic or coaching career. 

Additionally, being able to contact us for a free consultation ensures there are no misunderstandings. Run into an issue, and progress stagnates? Call us. Hear something goofy about Conjugate online and need clarification? Call us. 

Our goal with Conjugate Club is to provide our members with Westside Barbell-approved exercise programming and access to all of our educational content, so coaches and athletes know the what, why, and how behind the methods. We do not just send you a program and throw you to the wolves; we are with you every step of the way, teaching and providing insight into our training style.
