Ok....Was wondering from all the powerlifters here what type of training are you on?

Does everyone do Westside, Periodization, or their own program?

Please post...
:fro:
 
Westside. But for all of my recovery type workouts, I train the Olympic lifts trying to regain lost skills, as well as strengthen my shoulders.
 
Don't train westside

Train every bodypart three times a week, just like everyone else in your gym!!

HAHAHA

Just kidding, I train westside and follow the training to the letter(sled pulling, xtra workouts and all)

If you devote some time to serious training on the program you won't be sorry.
 
DAMN!!!!! :shocked:
I knew that some people were doing W/S but this is EVERYONE that posted!!! Wow!! I trained W/S about 1-year ago, went to the seminar, even talked on the phone with Dave Tate... I did not make much progress, but I will be the First to admit my diet was far from what it should have been, and what it is now :D
I am SERIOUSLY THINKING OF GOING W/S very soon...
One of my original problems with W/S was that I had NO true "foundation" from full-squating before starting W/S ... now having been squating for over 1-year, maybe now I can make better gains...
 
I usually hit every bodypart once a week, only use free weights and stick to the basic mass excersises for each body part.

I train a variation of one of Steve Justa's routines.

Currently I am deadlifting every day. I keep the same weight for 4 weeks and do 4 singles a day the first two weeks and 6 the next two. I then move up 15 pounds and start over.

I am doing something similar with dumbell clean and presses - 4 doubles every day for 4 weeks then move the weight up 2 1/2 pounds.

There is an exception to the "every day" - I take one day off a week, and one of the 6 days I work out I do bottom up squats instead of deadlifts. I also do a second day of bottom up squats, as well as working in a day of dips and incline benches. I also try to work out with kettlebells 2 days a week and do one-handed deads with the Ironmind's Rolling Thunder deadlift handle a couple of times a week.

I'm thinkin about going back to the routine that gave me my best results ever - start with 70% of my max on my deadlifts and do 3 singles Monday, 5 Tuesday and add two a day until doing 15 on Sunday. Bump up the weight for the next week and start over. When I felt I was getting overtrained I took a week off and started over 15 pounds more than I started last time.
 
I'm training Max-OT right now. I was training HIT before that. I'm just laying a foundation before I go over to W/S.

I'm gonna stick with other routines till beginner gains tamper off :)
