Hey guys,
What does everyone think to the Russian Conjugate Method of lifting?
I know that Defrancos training system encorparates it.

do the Russians know what it is?
I think it’s just misinterpretation (lost in translation). It’s “rush in” training, because it’s what beginners do before they get their feet under them.
But seriously, the system you’re speaking of is specific to the Russians and weightlifting (primarily). If you want to give said system a try, give the entire system a try. As Coach Chris Doyle and Charles Staley have said, the best program is always the one you’re not on.
Maybe list some training background and I’ll have a better idea (if this does not answer your question specifically enough).
Good question! As has been discussed here before conjugate sequence training as originally designed is NOT what the Westside proselytes practice. Louie apparently misinterpreted the original intent of this periodization form. I personally like conjugate sequence as I think it makes much more sense than traditional linear periodization.
