Louie Simmons' magnum opus on the Westside Conjugate Method for athletes in any sport. Combines the former Soviet Union system, the Bulgarian system, and four decades of Westside research into a single 390-page volume.
This is the book Louie spent four years compiling. Special Strength Development for All Sports is the most comprehensive presentation of his methodology, addressing the strength, power, and conditioning needs of athletes across powerlifting, weightlifting, combat sports, field sports, and more.
If you only own one Westside book, this is a strong contender. It does not narrow into a single sport. It teaches the system that applies across them.
