1st workout

4sets of 6reps

2nd workout

4 sets of 5 reps (5% more weight than 1st workout)

3rd workout

4 sets of 4 reps (10% more weight than 1st workout)

4th workout

4 sets of 6 reps (5% less weight than previous work out)

5th workout

4 sets of 6 reps (5% more weight than 4th workout)

Looks like it could work, expecially if you have not done something like that before,

Sometimes workouts like these fail on the account you have to meet the rep/set/% requirement or else it may not work as effectively and being sick or something may prevent this. Thats one of the beauties of westside, it all comes down to how you feel. But anyways, give it a try, thats the only way you can learn and truely give someone else advice on it. Good luck.

This could work if you start out the first week or two using loads that you are 100% confident you can get for all sets and all reps. Do this in order to not build up fatigue at the beggining of the cycle, so that you can have a longer run of progression.

So for example, on week 1 I suggest using your 8-9RM for the 4 x 6 work.

Yea i was gonna recommend him that he dont use % for his one rep max but base it off 5-10 lbs less than his 1RM.
