Max Effort Upper and Lower Body Days
I will be working out four times a week. Two days for max effort lifts (strength) and two days for repetition lifts (hypertrophy). I have finished designing my max effort days. Later I will start a thread on my repetition days. Please critique my Monday and Tuesday workouts. Thanks.
Max Effort Upper Body (Monday)
Max Effort Lift - Work up to a max set of 3-5 reps = Bench Press
Supplemental Lift - 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps = Incline DB Press
Horizontal Row - 4 sets of 10-15 reps = Barbell Row
Rear Delt/Upper Back - 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps = Seated DB Cleans
Weighted Abdominal Exercise - 3-4 sets of 8-15 reps = Weighted Swiss Ball Crunches
Max Effort Lower Body (Tuesday)
Max Effort Lift - Work up to a max set of 5 reps = Box Squats
Unilateral Movement - 3-4 sets of 8-15 reps = Single-Leg Squats, Back-Leg Elevated
Hamstring/Posterior Chain Movement - 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps = Good Mornings
Grip Training - 3 sets of timed sets = Thick Bar HoldsLast edited by Papi93; 12-24-2005 at 06:41 PM.

I did exclusively box squats for more than 3 months. My normal squat went way down, much less than it was before even. I did 495 when I got to college, and could barely get 455 after not doing a normal squat in 3 months. Keep this in mind. Incorporate goodmornings..they really helped my squat. Don't forget deadlifts

Deadlifts and good mornings will be incorporated in my last two days of working out (Thursday and Friday). I still working on those two days. You couldn't have a modified Westside program without squats, bench pressing, deadlifting and good mornings .

hey chest, how long did your normal squat stay down, when i switched from box to barbell i too lost significant strength in that exercise but after 2 weeks i went way beyond what i was squatting prior to box squats

I start the concentric right away. I did use to do pause squats, but I found those to be stressful on the knee joint.. completely stopping momentum without support such as a box/bench.

I see what you are saying. I expected this to happen but I think it should return to normal when the cals increase. I am more focused on bb right now, I think my arms and legs are too long to be successful in powerlifting, but then again, it could be said for both.

Yup, right now I have been doing bent over rows and I have taken a break from tbars. I do not plan on coming back stronger for tbars but it will still be a good "shock"
