Well said, I always try and explain Westside to my friends and come up stuttering.

Trying to increase your 1rm, huh. That's basically what I keep trying to do, I go for Deadlifts, Squats, Leg Press, Bench, and for now - Dips, and Shoulder and Military Presses. Am I wrong in saying that I am, in my own way, following Westside?

Well, 1RM in the big 3. Squats, bench, deads.

The theory is the methods used to achieve those ends. Repetitive work, speed work, maximal work. The combination of the three in a way structured to allow each to be used most effectively.

Thanks for explaining. It makes more sense now, I am really just trying to understand all the different programs and theories and Westside has gotten a lot of press lately, just wanted to know what it is all about.
