Training the Neural Network of Absolute Strength: Two Principles. One Network. Infinite Possibilities.

A fresh, neurological-network-first approach built on two principles—freeing the strength practitioner from outdated sport-specific rules of thumb.

Optimizing Neurological Training Volume

This is written in preparation for our first Absolute Conjugate Strategy Learning Module. This module is designed with the intent to educate practitioners on the feedback loops we manage within our conjugate strategy. Two of these loops—Absolute Strength and Speed Strength—are primarily neurological in nature. By viewing strength from the inside out, we introduce and define the Neurological Network of Absolute Strength—a prerequisite for effectively implementing this strategy.

Reducing Unnecessary Neurological Volume

Understanding this concept allows us to significantly reduce unnecessary neurological training volume (noise) while maximizing efficiency—optimally structuring training to propagate adaptation at the neurological level. The result? We amplify the signal while concurrently freeing up treatment and training resources to address often-overlooked and totally untrained ecologies, such as:

• Joint function

• Reactive strength

Absolute operates within a Reactive Strength Paradigm. Meaning: the lack of reactive strength is the number one limiting constraint in high performance.

Compressing Absolute Strength & Speed Strength: Learning in Conjugation

We could teach absolute strength and speed strength the way it’s traditionally been done—but that model is outdated, incomplete and in 2025 inaccurate. Historically, these two primarily neurological components of Point B have been developed through Olympic Weightlifting and Powerlifting. But let’s be clear—those are sports. The lifts themselves are the level of competition. So when strength is taught through the lens of those sports, it muddies the waters. It blurs the line between practice and training, confusing practitioners who aren’t trying to build lifters—but athletes where their level of competition is the field, court, diamond—not the barbell.

Worse, it creates an unnecessary barrier to entry. Under that model, you’d have to learn two entirely separate sports just to grasp how to develop strength and speed-strength (trust us, we did just that). But it’s 2025—no one has time for that. You don’t need to become a powerlifting or Olympic lifting expert to understand strength development from the inside out—you just need the neural network of absolute strength concept.

And let’s be honest: Olympic lifting in the West hasn’t exactly been a model of progress in the field of Training Science—it’s been a masterclass on how to systematically generate neurological stagnation. They are in a loop—see below, we made it into diagram so that we can totally avoid it.

The Emergence of What Matters

We don’t need all the information. We just need the right information—the key bits that matter. When those bits synergize, something powerful emerges. In this case, what emerged was the disruptor we desperately needed: the Neurological Network of Absolute Strength.

This concept allows us to operate in real time—the present tense—while bypassing outdated systems. It keeps us focused on what truly drives our strategy: neurological Point B, the athlete’s internal state—not a barbell total.

We don’t train football, hockey, or basketball athletes like powerlifters or Olympic lifters—that’s illogical. We train them as the athletes they are, to attain Point B.
