Who It’s For: 12–16U hockey players and youth athletes focused on developing elite-level strength, speed, and confidence
Summer is the season champions are built—and at Hardbody Athlete, we’re unlocking the science and structure behind serious performance gains with our 12-Week Conjugate-Style Strength Program.
This isn’t your average hockey conditioning camp or generic group workout. It’s a carefully periodized strength system, rooted in the proven methods of Westside Barbell’s Conjugate Method—built to help beginner to intermediate athletes master the foundations of speed, strength, power, and hypertrophy while staying healthy, mobile, and confident.

The Method: Why Conjugate Works
Unlike traditional linear programs that overload the same lifts week after week, our Conjugate Style System rotates main exercises, loading schemes, and tempos. This builds a strong, well-rounded athlete—not just a number on a lift.
Every 3 weeks, we alternate between:
- Accumulation Phase (volume & hypertrophy)
- Intensification Phase (intensity & power)
Progress is measured. Recovery is respected. Results are guaranteed—if you commit to the work.
Designed for Young Athletes, Backed by Sports Science
This isn’t about breaking your body—it’s about building a base for the next level.
Our athletes train with:
- Box Squats, Sled Sprints, Plyo Push-ups
- Good Mornings, Speed Deadlifts, Close-Grip Bench Press
- Reverse Hypers, GHD, Chin-Ups, Handstand Holds
We use bands and chains to develop power and reinforce intent—while carefully managing intensity to reduce injury risk.
Lifestyle 160: Train, Fuel, Recover, Dominate
We don’t just train muscles—we coach the entire lifestyle behind high performance. This summer, athletes will also be coached on:
- Protein + Calorie Education
- Sleep, Hydration, and Recovery Habits
- Sports Science Tech Baselines (Force Decks, InBody570, Sprint Gates)
This Summer, Don’t Just Get In Shape. Build a Hardbody.
If your athlete is tired of cookie-cutter training, tired of falling behind, or simply wants to dominate next season, then this is their summer.
