Westside is the pinnacle of strength training. The biggest surplus of articles can be found at www.elitefts.com
Basically the routine has 2 ME (max effort) days and 2 DE (dynamic effort) days. Take a look at the beginning of atherjen's online journal for the routine I recommend to new Westside lifters. Should you have questions about that routine, I'd be happy to answer them. |

yay.

I'm pretty sure they're powerlifting/strength exclusive routines. I tried a Westside squat routine once and it really helped to get me through a plateau via using assistance exercises, box squats etc.
Peace. |

That is not a Westside routine. You're missing the principles behind it. doubles and triples are sets of 2 and 3. You blew off the core of the routine, the ME work for sets of 8-10?

Westside is a tried and true program, but is not the pinnacle of lifting programs. It is highly effective and has thousands of devotees, but is one among many top of the line approaches to weight training.

Well, my statement is based on current results. To my knowledge there is not a single elite level powerlifter who uses any other system, including the world record holders in bench, squat, and deadlift.
|
|
yay.
