More Thoughts on Westside for Bodybuilding
Been checking out some more of the training logs http://asp.elitefts.com/qa/default.asp?qid=38357&tid=92 for example.
The guys mix things up more than you would imagine, doing DE plus ME plus Repetition in 1 session. I can incorporate these tactics into my own training, which will be about every 5-6 days for each bodypart from now on. Dave Tate even recommends doing triceps just once a week for some people. I think that to gain strength and size I must :
1. Go reasonably heavy (5-6 reps) if feeling strong with various exercises. But be careful.
2. After that, go for a higher rep range either with the same movement or something different.
3. Not going to bother with speed work anymore. It puts too much pressure on my joints, plus Metal Militia and quite a few people even in Westside don't bother with it that often if at all.
Doing this every 5-6 days will not let the strnegth go but will allow for full recovery of tendons and muscles.
This will ensure strength and hypertrophy.
