#352 One Mistake And You're F*cked: A Multiply Powerlifter's Reality | Connor Karwowski

We welcome Connor Karwowski to this episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast!

Connor Karwowski is a multiply powerlifter and the founder of Conjugate Strong, an online training business built on the proven principles of the Conjugate Method. With a best total of 2518 lbs in the 308 lb class—including a 1040 squat, 766 bench, and 775 deadlift—Connor has carved out a name for himself in the world of equipped powerlifting as both a fierce competitor and an accomplished coach.

Since launching Conjugate Strong in 2018, Connor has helped lifters across the country optimize their performance with strategic, high-intensity training rooted in the Westside Barbell system. He holds a CSCS and is Westside Barbell Special Strengths certified, combining his academic foundation with real-world success under the bar.

Connor is also the head strength and conditioning coach at Whitefish Bay High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he oversees athletic development and fosters a culture of strength from the ground up. With a master's degree in kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he brings science, structure, and a relentless work ethic to every athlete and team he works with.

His powerlifting journey began during college and has since followed a path shaped by both passion and family. From his time in Madison, to Indianapolis during his wife's medical school, to his current home in Milwaukee for her residency, Connor has continuously evolved his coaching and training environments while staying deeply committed to the iron.
