Huge Presser's Westside Barbell Progress
Alright bros, I've decided to give the much hyped over Westside barbell routine a second try. I will be dieting hardcore, with more calories and carbs. Also I am going to start getting more sleep, seeing that school is starting up next week (oh yeah ill rhyme:rolleyes:. While completing this routine I will also be preparing myself for a bench press competition about two months from now, in California.
Alright well I have set up my routine with the core lifts as of this point. I have my speed days set at 55% of my max, and on max days I will be doing 4 board press. On my DE Squat days, 65% of my max again, on ME Days I will work up to a max box squat. But I still have a couple questions, hopefully some of you guys can help me out here. As you know I've tried this routine before, only to have bad luck, and I think it had something to do with what I did after doing my core lifts...
1. What should I do after I'm done with DE bench??? Incline, decline, flies??? And if I do them should they be done fast as well? Also I have the same question for squat... after I'm done should I do leg presses or partial deadlifts or what? And what about on ME days... should I finish with heavy incline and decline presses?
2. Last year when I tried this, I would do the speed days with bands, then afterwards I would go really heavy on incline, decline, and dumbell presses... do you think this contributed to my poor results?
Thanks bros for helpin me out:D!
