It depends on how long you have been training westside and on what you need for modification. If someone is new to the system, just use the workouts given on the articles on their site.

Once you have done it for awhie than you can modify it for you needs-like adding extra sets to bring up a weak muscle group

I would stick with the basic program -- box squats, sp bench, good ams etc. You can play around with the assistance work but the main program should not be altered. You will end up doing something so far away that it would not be the same.

Everything should be taken and used in a way that causes you to lift the most. Thinking outside the box is how you learn. There are alot of American and World Record holders out there that don't train Westside, and have just as much biomechanical basis for their theories. Take it all in...do what works.

I don't use by the book Westside form, and because I don't, some of the accessory work should be different for me. The bare basic split is the same, but if my lockout is 403 and my floor press is 170, I spend more time working the weak stuff than the already strong stuff. Oddly enough, so do the Westside boys. They're not ignorant enough to think there's only one path to success, so why should we?
