We have found just the opposite. That conjugate training and areg go hand in hand. Mostly because of the variance on different training days. For example -
If I test for a power day on Tuesday I will be doing power exercises. (jumps, vertimax, Olympic Type movements)
When I train again on Thursday I may not test a power day. I may test a strength day. So my exercises would be different. (squat, deadlift for example)
Basically we are tracking nervous system fatigue on a workout to workout basis.
We have seen really great results from this.
I do not believe that training an exercise more than once a week is the route to go. That is just my experience speaking. Areg or not the results do not seem to be as good.

That's awesome, and makes total sense now that you explained it.
I guess I was too focused on hitting the same movement patterns, but it makes total sense that you do your DE day when you are supercompensating. Technically the focus of AR is testing your best effort in each workout, then basing the your workloads on your neural efficiency for that day, so it makes total sense that you could integrate conjugate periodization with Areg.
Thanks for the cool info!
