Metal Militia VS. Westside

[Parabellum]

How would you compare the two? I tried to get some Militia traing material but hey are very vague to me.

All that actual benching in the Militia workout, wouldn;t that wear you out?

What would you say are the pro's and cons of both?

they are very vague in their descriptions, no doubt.

however. i find westside training works better for athletics. melitia just makes you strong. all that upper body speed movements has done great things for alot of my skills on the floor (i do some acrobatics recreationally)

I train WSB as do most of the guys I train with, but many of us are incorporating MM styles/techniques. We also plan on attending a session with them as soon as we can all afford to. Why pick and choose? Use everything that works. Irishpower saw my bench style and agreed that I already bench that way, I just need to learn how to use my shirt lower and maybe arch more.

So Spatts your doing unshirted full rane of motion bench presses? This seems like it is one of the main differences from westside.

Yeah what Spatts said...

AnimalMass had a great article where he interviewed a few of the militia guys. If you look at their message board and the articles on their site and sebastian's site, you can find a lot of how they train. I agree totally with Spatts. You don't have to stay completely on any program. Use what works for you.

I train raw most of the time, but I'm shirted more lately, just because I'm trying to learn my shirt.

Why is a full ROM bench odd for westside? Isn't that what speed day is?

I'm less than 4 hours away. Too bad I made other plans for this Saturday. You can't beat a $50 seminar.

Sorry I didn't make any sense in my question. Yes speed day is full ROM. But what I understand from MM you do heay bench press on what would be ME day.

 

[spatts]

Yeah, that's one area that would have to change. Usually our guys work up after speed work in their shirts for practice. I dunno...maybe one of them will post here. Like maybe Animalmass. (hint hint)

Can't seem to find the Animalmass interview. Did a really search in the sticky above and nothing came up for Metal Militia.
