Program Description
The Conjugate Masters Bench Blueprint is a 16–24 week specialized strength program designed specifically for the healthy 55+ lifter who already owns a solid bench press and wants to push to a new impressive PR bench in just 4–6 months—without burning out or risking injury. By blending the proven Westside-inspired conjugate method (rotating weekly Max Effort, Dynamic Effort, and Repetition Effort upper-body days) with intelligent exercise variation, balanced pulling work, and one light lower-body session per week, the program simultaneously builds raw maximal strength, explosive power, and supporting muscle mass while respecting the recovery demands of masters athletes. It keeps volume controlled, prioritizes shoulder and elbow health, and uses frequent exercise rotation to bypass plateaus and overuse issues common after age 50—so you can add serious iron to your bench press while still feeling fresh, strong, and ready to train for years to come.
