| imho (my VERY humble opinion since I don't train that type of system), not many top lifters I know of use Korte.. that's enough proof for me | |||

| It's a cambered bench bar - the camber's only 4" deep and about as wide as my chest so I grip just outside the camber Sept 10/09 @ North Bay YMCA Dynamic Warmup / Dislocates / Pullaparts Squat: 2x135x5 +averages choked around 2 dumbells: 135x5 185x3 225x2 8x275x2 *these felt like a lot of tension the way they were set up *squat form felt off today, but I haven't squatted in a while so might just need to get some practice in again haha Deadlifts - a few sets at 315x1 Side Bends // DB Shrugs - 105's for 3x12 | |||

| Sept 9/09 @ North Bay YMCA Bit of dumbell benching / dislocates / pullaparts to warm up Speed Bench: 45x8 +doubled minis 45x8 5x135x3 3x185x3 JM Presses - 4 or 5 somewhat tough sets of 8 Well I found my new gym and actually met a powerlifter (who's even in my program haha). He was wearing an EFS shirt in class, and is almost as fat as me. We were pretty much seperated at birth lol. The YMCA is pretty sick too; not busy at all, and there's an olympic lifting section.. as soon as the oly guys see my briefs, bands, boxes, and boards, they'll probably hate me, but for now it's cool haha | |||

At this point I got really pissed off, reset, and grabbed the bar 500x1 HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE grinder 12x405x1 **decided to drill 405 for singles since I sucked so hard on the 500 sets (plan was 500x3 today and I barely got it for 1) 1 Arm Machine Rows -after I got home I realized this is the 3rd time in 6 days deadlifting heavy.. maybe that's why I sucked hahaha. Ah well, still should've been able to pull it off haha -crammed all my training this week into these last few days so I don't have to worry about finding a gym/way to the gym as soon as I get up north (moving tomorow) | |||

| I haven't - might give a "heel" a run though (namely just stand on something to see how it feels haha). I'd like to stick with the Chucks though since I just bought a new pair lol; I'm too poor for more shoes | |||

| Thanks guys Eventually I'll get my convo technique back haha Aug 31/09 @ Ironworks Dynamic Stretch / Foam Roll / Dislocates / Full ROM Barbell Lifts Rack Pulls (conventional) (just under knee): 45x5 +super mini band (standing on it draped over the bar): 45x5 95x5 135x5 185x5 225x3 275x3 315x3 365x1 405x1 435x1 (10lb pr) 455x1 (30lb pr.. super slow lol) -band off 495x1 515xmiss Pause Squats (belt): 135x8 225x5 275x5 315x5 *20 minute break here; had to pick my Mum up from work lol 225x5 315x5 365x2 4x365x1 -I like these pause squats.

| » Westside Training Info (Go to post) | 31-08-2009 @ 16:47 | ||
| Not sure if it's "less popular" Hazz - Westside training isn't really a program but a set of principles, so although plenty are still using it, they might look very different (plus top guys know exactly how to tailor their programs; you won't see many top guys following a WSB Template) Paul - You've pretty well got it pal. Less overload work is needed for the most part because you don't have to worry about handling 150% of your best raw squat. Someone who misses their benches on the chest probably doesn't need as much lockout work. Box squats are still an awesome lift but imho a few more free squats should be thrown in depending on how you squat - someone with a narrow stance who divebombs their desent would probably be better off atleast doing some kind of regular squatting on occassion. Etc etc | |||
