Hello,
I was reviewing the westside barbell program. This is what I came up with. I know the principles a little (I read the book of Louie Simmons). However, I live in Africa and don't have fancy machinery available (mainly I have dumbbells and barbells, leg curl and leg extension; that's it).
Is there anybody with experience in WSB method of training that can perhaps comment on my program?
As you can see there is no biceps in there. Perhaps I should put it in once or twice a week?
Thanks |

Don’t get too caught up in accessory work. With West Side as with any of the big programs the important thing is the core lifts; squat, bench, and deadlift. The accessory work is only there to help you with your weak areas in the core lifts. As for the fancy machines you can train very well without them, better in fact. Besides most of the lift can you have in you lift are body weight movements or can be done with free weight (dumbbells and Barbells)

WSBB method overrated. Simple progressive overload or linear periodization works just fine and has for years. www.lift.net/2013/03/30/an-advanced-system-for-beginners-westside-barbell-method/This is by far the best info out there concerning their method. However, there is no hard/fast anything about their methods. They try it all. They base their training on three methods: Max/Speed/Reps. They are also big on weakness training. How you choose to do it is up to you. |
