not westside

[Screwball]

I would like to follow-up on my previous post and say that I've gained on every single method that I've ever used because I trained consistantly and with intensity. These two things among others are more important than the training program in my opinion. If you don't bust your ass in the gym day in and day out then you will never realize your true potential.

Endpoint,
What do you mean how do I divide up my training? I think this is the answer your looking for.

Mon:Back, Deads
Tues:Bench
WEDff
Thurs:Legs
Fri:Bench Assistance and arms

The only Three exercises that I do that are considered Westside are Board Presses or Floor Presses, and Reverse Hypers. Im gonna start to do reverse hypers when I get back into the Gym.

This is a good post I dont know why epimetheus Or anyone else got heated up on this subject.

Ok, that apparently got taken the wrong way. I can't tell you how Louie would react because I don't know him personally. I'm just saying that, even though I think I train "westside," I probably don't REALLY do it all right. Louie would SURELY have alot of correcting to do if he saw my interpretation of what he does. That's all I meant. I would think that unless one has trained with Louie, this would be the case. It's hard enough to 'demonstrate then duplicate' in person, let alone learning from someone else or off of a seminar video.

Spatterson,
i agree with you on this. im sure louie simmons isnt telling the public everything about westside training. He only tells us the Basic stuff. And pretty much its up to us to modify it a little. Unless you train at WSB your not gonna know everything there is to know about WSB.

This isnt the reason why i dont train westside. its just that i started old school and made great gains from it so im gonna stay old school untill i feel its time for a change.

Freak, whatever you are doing is obviously working. I think endpoint is looking to find out what kinds of sets reps and exercises that non-westsiders do.

For example, do you, and other non-westsiders do 5 sets of 5, or traditional progressive overload, doing sets of 8 for a few weeks, then raising the weights and dropping to 6''s, etc. . .

I am not positive, but I think this is what he is looking for. Sets and reps etc. . .

I get heated up because of statements like this. I don't care if endpoint uses westide or not, he is talking smack about it. I don't see how somebody can use a method, yet say that it is evil. Perhaps you (endpoint) don't really use this method at all?? I could not say, I don't know you.

I use Westside because a group of knowledgable powerlifters rescued me from lifting puny weights at the YMCA. Doing BB stuff. Sure, there might be some things that deliver, and make people stronger. May of them produce world champions... Guess what!!! There is more than one road to Rome. Talking down something because you have a thing against fads or what not, things that work, only makes you look churlish and frankly an ignoramus.
Westside is not the only way, I don't think ANYBODY is saying that, only that it is a viable option with alot of evidence of it working. And works good from what I can tell. So what If old school methods work, use them both when one stops working, because guess what? Eventually you will hit a plateau and you will no doubt have to choose another method. There is no Miracle method that works forever. The body adapts.

lighten up and learn about a little thing called sarcasm

think out side the box

If Louie took the Conjugated Periodization from the Russians and eastern block countries, what are they using now? The rest of the world seems to get its new Powerlifting ideas from old eastern ones

If it were sarcasm you wouldn't be debating against WSB so much. No, I think you have a conviction about what you are debating. You hate WS.


Listen Pal, I don't know you from jack. I have been weight training for about 4 fucking months ok? I don't know enough about lifting weights to formulate my own work out routines, and I imagine that your pathetic attempts at thinking outside the box consist of mindlessly following somebody elses thoughts, not your own. A white belt does not know enought about martial arts to invent his own.

Lighten up? Lighten up? Oh, swell, come in here and call me a fucking sheep for following a certain weight routine, tell me to think outside the box, be different, and then when I get offended you say it is sarcasm. Pah, you sir are a troll and an asshole worthy of SSalexSS rank. Fuck you.
