hey we have a training forum!!!

how is everyone's training going? use the training forum more people.

personally i am at my lightest and breaking through some of my PRs. i just started westside training and my bench is blowing up. getting used to the box squats and the lower back work. i feel if i was to max out in a month i would atleast add 100 pounds on my lifts total which is pretty good in my book. thats off cycle as well.

Sounds good. This is my favorite topic of discussion.

Well I just got off of a two week break from the gym. I was pretty much burned out mentally and physically, but now I'm back in the game. I'm trying to bring up some weak points of mine : chest, hams, traps, and lower back. Just a few things I need to improve on before I compete again. This winter and on into the spring and summer I will be hitting the gym hard.....and all of the other stuff that goes along with working out

[WeirdAl]

Well I compete 2 weeks from today, and after that I am going to continue DC traniing. I need to bring up my chest and my upper back, so I am going to try and concentrate on doing that. I am also going to stay MUCH leaner off season and concentrate more on my conditioning than gaining mass. And hopefully by doing so my legs will have almost a year to harden up.

sounds great guys. as i said i just started the pl and i have the same issues as far as bringing up my lagging bodyparts. my hammies and hips are weak so i need to work on that to increase my squat strength. need to work on my bench form as well. always a work in progress for us all hahah

If hammies and hips are weak, and you are a athlete, incorporate overhead squats, it will improve squats and core strength dramatically. Bench form, well we can all work on that

with the westside training the focus on you hammies and lower back. i work that paryt of my body twice a week. box squats have been helping my hips as well as ab/ad hips.

OH squats can be adjusted into a WSB template. Tricky to where there is a A week and a B week. This is athletically speaking of course, not BBing. Do you follow the 3 or 4 day WSB template?

i follow the 4 day template currently. i am will post a log of my current training with everything so you can check it out. currently i think i am overloading my CNS bc i have been working at 100% week in and out. I think i need to work on wave traing which i am rather new to.

I incorporate waive training with all my guys. You have to with athletes if you plan on incorporating drills, plyos etc. Lifting is three days a week with my guys no matter what the sport, two days of other training, depends on the week as for what that other training is.
