  • Conjugate, How I Westside on the East Coast: DE Upper

    I saved this one for last for one really good reason: I find DE Upper Day extraordinarily boring… Boring or not, there is still a valid reason to do a DE (Dynamic Effort) Upper day and it makes a large impact for some people, myself included. In previous posts I talked about the value of…

  • Training Recap/Progress Update

    Going back two weeks I missed two sessions due to vacation and came back somewhat rested to start a new block. The block started a week ago Saturday with ME Lower day so currently I’m on the second week of it, so no comments on some of the little tweaks I’ve made just yet. What…

Westside is a great powerlifting program which can be adapted to anything strength related. I ran a version of it when I trained for strongman…
