  • What do you do if something isn’t working?

    My last post revolved around a small mistake I made in my programming and what I was doing to fix it. To refresh, I did very little low bar squatting and that which I did, was almost exclusively to a box. When I went to test my low bar squat without a box it didn’t…

  • Changing Weeks / Blocks: How and Why I Use Them

    In past post I’ve outlined the framework for how I write my programs and how I work out. My version of the conjugate method works for me and would likely work for a lot of you (there is no perfect program that works for everyone) but I don’t run it every single week of the…

  • 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…

  • Time Off and Breaks

Just like my other post I’m starting with the disclaimer that I’m not a competitive powerlifter, I have competed in strongman, and I lift raw. I MAY…

  • Conjugate, How I Westside on the East Coast: My ME Lower Day

    Starting with this, I’m not a competitive powerlifter, but I work out like one. I’ve competed as a strongman and am not ruling out doing a powerlifting meet one day. 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…

  • Who Am I?

    If you’re reading this, or anything online for that matter, it helps to know who the author is… Right??? I’ll make it simple, you can find me on Reddit as BiteyMax22 but if you’re reading this you may want to go to my Instagram at BiteyMax_Strength. I’m not a fitness professional but I’m also not…
