With the spate of "conjugate training is useless" articles/blogs appearing I thought I would play devil's advocate in the form of Michael Hedlesky who recently came 8th in the 120kg class at the IPF worlds last month (reading his blog he has a torn quad and also coming off a lower back injury).
I am unsure of his best lifts outside of national/international meets, but according to this chart Hedlesky Michael - powerlifting and bench press performances, records, bio, photo, video
In this article he outlines a (fairly) brief summary of how he utilises a conjugate training system for his lifting
An Advanced System For Beginners: Westside Barbell Method | LIFT.net
For mine the most important line/message is "Have you ever wondered why there are a trillion different strength programs out there? It is because at some point, somewhere, for someone, that exact program caused massive gains for the participants". It is also the same view held by Mark Bell, Brandon Lilly and a few others in relation to training methods etc
His (new) training log can be found here:
All Aboard The Hamburger Train - Training Logs - LIFT
What I found most interesting is that he had spent some time at Westside, and says Louie's real life views conflict somewhat with what you hear in interviews and read in articles (guess he has to sell the westside method to sell his products lol)
