Why not?

If you don't like it, do a different movement, or do a 3RM. The lifts on there are only suggestions.

I posted my first Westside program for raw lifting here about 3 months ago. Anyone who decided to try it should be finishing it about this time, so here's the second iteration. It's an improved...

If anyone decides to run it, please keep in touch and let me know how it goes!

Do you know exactly what Louie did with the football guys? He tweaked Westside to suit them, which is exactly what I did.

I agree that power cleans are a great exercise for athletes, but I don't...

yes, but not a 5rm, a top set of 5 which is a little less than a 5rm

When I do oly lifts, I like to put them on upper days. I'd Thursday is best in what I wrote because there's two days off afterward, and I don't think lower body fatigue from Wednesday is enough to...

I don't write mobility, flexibility, speed, agility, and conditioning into weight lifting programs. I was going under the assumption that the athlete is already doing those things as part of their...

I'm assuming my program written for football/throwing is going to be used by people training for football/throwing, so it's quite specific to their goals.

I wrote a Westside-style templat for raw lifting: http://metal-and-iron.blogspot.com/2013/07/skurskyside-raw-westside-for-raw-lifter.html

Front squats are a great exercise. They can be used to train the weak point you mentioned, but your weak point is most likely squats in general. I'd say use paused regular squats to get better at...

It's not good, but I've seen worse. It's not bad enough that you're gonna get hurt automatically.

I've always found it best to keep one's goals to one's self.

Happens to me, too. The bench shirt only makes it worse. I don't know why I haven't tried foam rolling for it, but I will.

that's a swole wang

He had a knife and didn't drop it. Look up "the tueller drill." A man with a knife within 21 feet can cut you before you can draw your weapon. Many police have this demonstrated to them, and are...

The Exorcist - the one that takes place in Africa, with the buried church built on top of Satanic ****. Scared the **** out of me.

This is a little unclear. The lift feels heavier as you go regardless of which way the bands are set up.

I know what you meant, just trying to clarify.
