I am confused still. Do you sleep during the day, between 8am and 11pm? Because otherwise you'd eat at 8am, and fast till 11pm, then you'd eat your PWO meal, and maybe go to bed 12-8 which is...

Thanks determined and Leroy. I'll just give it a try and see if it interferes with my recovery at all.


As for what you said Leroy about bulking at 18%. My long term goal is to be 220+ (closer...

Bump, does anyone have any experience with this?

Ok I have a question for you guys regarding adding some cardio in the morning during the fast.

So I am finished losing weight for now, and my goal is to recomp while gaining weight slowly, or just...

With THIS approach you are not supposed to take in any calories during the fast. They'd have no real purpose, and if anything will make you hungrier.

I have a few questions for Martin or anyone else. Im sure these have been covered, and im sure they are covered in the book as well. I'll get the book eventually, but not at the moment.

Ok so I...

Its really up to you.


Honestly, Ive done really good programs that only take 30 mins max, and ive done programs that take 90+ mins. It really depends on how many exercises you are doing and how...

for the purpose of stability, i'd recomend

Stepups
Bulgarian split squats
Split squat (stationary lunge)


And you could also include these to build more muscle:

Wide squats

This is a very old technique and yes its a good thing.


Its called supersetting, and by alternating betwen opposing muscles, you can make your workouts more effective and more efficient.

Thanks,


One more question, regarding ME days....


Say Im doing an ME Squat/deadlift day, and im maxing on sumo deads. Not a true 1rm, but instead maybe a 3rm. Can I also do some RE work...

When doing a program like westside, on a DE day, are all the exercises performed with lighter weights at higher speeds, or just one exercise. If its just one exercise, then is the rest of the stuff...

After the first two ME workouts, I'll have to admit, that I was wrong. Its not that "maxing" on two lifts is too taxing, but there just isn't enough accessory work, and repetitions in the program I...

Im trying to improve my DB snatch max. Currently I am able to do 100lbs with my right arm and 95 lbs with my left arm. My grip is one of my weak areas, but that will be trained during deadlifts,...

Thanks for the input guys, i'll check out the viking workout.

As for the reasons im using westside, well its safe to say that im not actually following westside since ive made some changes.
...

So I did my first workout tonight. I think it went well, but may need some tweeking as things progress. I basically modified the Westside for bodybuilders to be higher intensity lower volume. ...

Thanks guys, i do understand how it is just a template. But the basic methods of the program (ME, DE, RE) are the critical components. I understand those methods, and probably will have to...

didn't take the time to read the article, but I would think the immune response would be an adaptation, and thus a person training with less rest might actually build a "better immune system" with...

Ive been researching on strength training lately, and came across the methods used by Westside. Im not looking to follow the Westside plan exactly, as im not a powerlifter, and thus my program will...

Thanks JD, anyone else have any opinions?
