Louie Simmons on the Conjugate System: Part 4

In Part 4 of this series, Louie Simmons fields more questions about the conjugate system he uses to produce brutally strong powerlifters.

Of particular note is a section where Simmons clarifies the percentages athletes should use on dynamic-effort day without powerlifting gear.
