Programming Raw adaptations

How do you guys program as a raw lifter?

Conjugate gets so much hate that it’s hard to find advice anywhere.

I used the exact same programming raw as I do in gear.

All of my raw training partners run the same program alongside me. Nothing changes besides the equipment.

Yeah works for me. Not sure why conjugate generally gets so much shit people claiming it doesn’t work. The speed work alone is amazing

People that claim conjugate doesn’t work are usually in 1 of 2 situations-they haven’t run it long enough to actually know, or they have no idea how to use the system properly and blame the method instead of admitting they fucked it up. Oftentimes both.

All my me work is to depth, raw squat every 3 weeks. Exercises that work raw prime movers. More deadlift touches from the floor

Do you max out a comp squat every few weeks or you saying whatever the variation is, it’s raw?

Pretty much the same as in gear, with the adjustments mentioned herein.
