My 405lbs raw bench @ 198lbs

[bb-sm-pl]

Some like West Side believe assistance work is where you want to put all your effort and leave the main lift, which in this case is bench, to the DE part of your work out. I used this method for a month and found my assistance work was going up but my actual bench went down a hair. So I went back to what worked for me. I kill myself on the bench so I don't have a whole lot left for assistance work. Which is why it's higher reps lower weight.

You are obviously missing some large details of the Westside principles. In fact, you have it almost completely backwards. ME and DE work are the main focus of each session, and the accessories are done afterwards to compliment the main lift and address weaknesses.

For those of you who are wondering why SportBikeBob is now no1tou, let me explain:

Mr. Bob recently started posting at another forum, and was generally accepted and fared well for a while. He posted the video at the beginning of this thread and received his due praise. However, in the past couple of days, he made the mistake of insisting that the 100% RAW federation was the best and only reputable federation for powerlifting. While not a bad federation, this is certainly not the case. When notified of this fact and presented with evidence, rather than admit his error, he proceeded to argue with one of the most knowledgeable and accomplished powerlifters on the board, which quickly degraded into insults and personal attacks. He then tried to defend another poster whose infamy is derived not from his lifting prowess, but from his terrible form, gigantic ego, and the fact that he posted a picture of himself on the internet with his own penis in his mouth. As this was pointed out to him, he resorted to more personal attacks, which prompted the forum regulars to go on a fact-finding mission. This led them to the discovery of this forum, in which it was noted that Mr. Bob used AAS immediately before his two drug-tested bench/curl meets, and knowingly tried to circumvent the testing. This is generally frowned upon in the powerlifting world, as there are plenty of non-tested federations for those who choose to utilize PEDs in their training. When this was pointed out to him, he first tried to feign ignorance, then resorted to flawed justifications and yet more unprovoked personal attacks, this time mostly against one of the board's most accomplished female lifters, repeatedly insulting her and accusing her of drug use.

While he has since deleted his account and his posts in that thread, it was too little, too late, and the thread now contains his full name, screenshots of his posts on this forum, pictures of his daughter and his license plate number. Anonymous mailings of said screenshots are now en route to the meet director. He may not have deserved what he got, but he certainly asked for it.

Funny - I was Browsing over another forum I sometimes frequent, and see a post of this video by the same username.
A few clicks and I was interested to see some of his posts. Weird - he openly discusses steroid use with other members, when I could of sworn he claimed he has only ever done 2 cycles in this thread.
