In the presentation below, I introduce a fresh approach to structuring strength training programs: The Alternating Conjugate Periodization Model.
This method optimizes strength development by strategically alternating training variables to prevent plateaus and maximize progress. I think you’ll find it interesting—take a look.
For a deeper dive into periodization strategies, check out page 101 of my book The Elite Trainer, where I devote an entire chapter to the topic.

The 70-Degree Incline Swiss Bar Press: A Safer Way to Build Strength
A neutral-grip Swiss bar is shoulder-friendly, but the setup can get awkward fast. Using a 70-degree incline bench keeps the press strong, controlled, and easier to clear without excessive leaning.
Hanging Garhammer Raise
The hanging Garhammer raise puts the lower abs in the spotlight while reducing the hip-flexor takeover common in many hanging leg-raise variations. Start from the floor if needed, then earn the hanging version.
Radial and Ulnar Flexion
Radial and ulnar flexion are not glamorous, but balanced wrists and forearms need more than curls and extensions. These neglected movement patterns deserve periodic programming.
