The Powerlifting Program is for those who are either new to powerlifting as a sport, have competed but have not yet received an elite level classification, or someone who may not have competitive aspirations in the sport but want to go as far as possible in their pursuit of strength.
Some choose this program as it creates tremendous mental fortitude through the discipline as taught at Diablo Barbell. The main difference in the programming between the IOC+ and the Powerlifting Program is the use of the Conjugate Method. The Conjugate Method is a complex system created and popularized by Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell and is the protocol that Team Diablo Powerlifting has used since Day 1. In our experience “Conjugate” isn’t something that can be learned from a book or online videos. It needs to be coached by an expert. Coach O’Neill’s history with Louie Simmons goes back to the early 90’s and to this day, Simmons is the only Coach in the world that has created more elites than Diablo.
