thanks...by unilateral DB squat do you basically mean deadlifts except with DB's? and i may give some of that combo lifting a try as well. would i do 2 cleans, then right after the second, start front squatting for a coupld of reps, then start overhead pressing? all in one set? or should i...

hey everyone, its been a long time since i posted here. i've been too busy with school and what-not. but anyway, heres a little full body routine i just threw together off the top of my head. i get to use the school gym for free, but it has got to be the worst weight room i've ever seen. no...

i have the same problem. i work for the phone company, so all day i'm out climbing poles and carrying tools and equipment, etc. my training has really suffered because of it. i can't really follow a set routine anymore, i just kinda go to the gym whenever i feel up to it.

thanks for the advice CowPimp. i'll take it into consideration. i think for the cheast/shoulder day, i'm just going to get rid of the lateral raises all together and replace it with some overhead DB press.

anything at all?

whats hard to understand? it tells you all about Westside. it even gives you a sample program about 2/3 of the way down the page. some of the exercises it has in it i had never heard of before. you just have to look them up somewhere to figure them out.

WESTSIDE BARBELL! i'm telling ya man, it works if you do it right. i'm not saying these other methods don't work, but i know WSB worked for me.

any other feedback please?

here are some links i found in my bookmarks: http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/article-westside-barbell.asp (great article) it seems my other links aren't working. just search on google for it. but the above link is a good start. also, search the forums here. i got a lot of information off of...

i'm guessing you're going for strength rather than size and aesthetics. take a look at Westside Barbell (WSB) training. if done correctly you're bench will sky-rocket. i did it awhile ago and i got my max bench up to 235 from around 185 (i think). at the time i only weighed about 150 on a good...

i jsut don't think its necessary to have a specific day for each. the exercises for any of those muscle groups (chest, shoulders and tris) mostly use all three muscle groups to some extent. like bench press for example, all three are definatly being used there. and say shoulder press, your tris...

i think i'm going to go with a chest, back, legs type split. my leg day went like this: 5x5 squat 3x8 SLDL 2x8 lunge (DB) 2x12 seated calf raise next i think i'll do chest/tris/shoulder day. i'm thinking it'll go something like this: 5x5 flat bench (haven't done this in awhile) 3x8 DB...

hey everyone, been a long time since i posted anything here. but i need help coosing (and making) a new routine. i just finished up a HST routine. i can't decide whether to do a upper-lower split, or something like a legs-chest-back split. the only problem is a work more than 40 hours a week, so...

this is mine. made it myself with photoshop.

is red bull actually any good? i have friends who say they drink one while out partying, and they'll be up all night because of it.

i like it and think it works great, as long as you do it properly. when i say do it properly i mean leave your ego at the door and use the light weights when you have to.

heres the routine i did awhile ago. it was taken from the example workout on this website (i think, it was quite awhile ago): http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/article-westside-barbell.asp the info on that site i found to be pretty useful. Day 1: Monday ME Squat day ME exercise: deadlift...

no offence squaggleboggin, but your routine in that link is definatly not westside barbell.

i think i'm going to start a WSB routine next week. what specific questions do you have? i did a WSB routine in the past and i'm pretty familiar with it (i think haha), i might be able to help you out.

pull-ups, try all different grips. i think palms facing you with a shoulder width grip would be the best in your case.
