I have been trying to find a full westside routine for a while now but i have done it. Can anyone on here give me an example or describe their own for me.
Thanks, DLK

And then here is a Modified Westside routine by a friend of mine who changed it up a little to help add some more mass...

Monday: Normally my "Max Effort" bench press day.

Flat bench DB press: 5x5
Push Presses: 5x5
Rows: (periodized Westside style)
Reverse Hypers: (Westside style)
External Rotations for rotator cuff: 2x8
Curls: 2x15
Elbow prehab

Wednesday: Normally my "Max Effort" squat/deadlift day.

Olympic Squats (narrow stance): 5x5
Stiff Legged Deadlifts: 5x5
Reverse Hypers: 3x8
Ab work
Side bends
Reverse curls:2x15

Friday: Dynamic Effort bench day
Speed bench with bands: 8x3
Close grip 2 board bench: 3x5
Rows
Reverse Hypers
Curls
Elbow Prehab

Sunday: Dynamic Squat/DL day
Box squats with bands: 8x2
Speed deadlifts with bands, sometimes standing on a platform with the bar resting right on top of my feet: 6x1
Reverse Hypers: 3x8
Shrugs: (I do shrugs for grip work, since I don't like static holds. This means I never use straps, and I usually either go for really high reps (20) or I use a 'clean grip', or sometimes both).
Ab work
Side bends

Yeah the beauty of WS is that you can change to different exercises as long as they are in the same area ( changing 1 ME exercise for another etc )

[phreezer]

In fact one should be changing those exercises every couple of weeks... for more advanced powerlifters that have been doing the program for awhile... They should probably be changing their ME exercise every week.
