Episode 009 - JJ Morris

Most people have heard of Louie Simmons and Westside Barbell in some capacity. What most dont's realize, though, is that the Conjugate Method extends far beyond the walls of Westside Barbell in Columbus, Ohio. What strength coaches have been learning is that there is a better way than the old guard of linear periodization. 

Sure, you're going to get strong as f*ck using linear periodization, says Morris, but you're also going to get injured as f*ck too. 

Coach Morris works with athletes as young as elementary school up and through high school on a regular basis and his injury rate is 2%. Seriously. 2 out of every 100 athletes experiences an injury while training using conjugate periodization. 

There is clearly a better way of training athletes. Yet, many top strength coaches are hesitant to change their approach. Why? It's been documented with first-hand research that there is a way to make stronger athletes who are better prepared for the demands of their respective sport. 

This interview is not for the faint of heart. Coach Morris is highly opinionated, and for good reason. His opinions are born of fact and proven research. 

Enjoy.
