Training post Bodypower

This is just a quick blog entry detailing how I plan to set out training after the Bodypower expo. Basically we are gonna take on a full conjugate (Westside) training protocol. Westside continually produce the best lifters and although we may not have the same understanding of the system I feel we are smart enough to make a good stab at it.

Traditionally Westside have the following split

Mon
Max effort lower

Wed
Max effort upper

Fri
Dynamic effort lower

Sunday
Dynamic effort upper

Because of limits with the number of guys we would have training on certain nights of the week we are gonna switch the ME lower and DE lower about to facilitate spotting etc. So our split will look like this:

Mon
Dynamic effort lower

Wed
Max effort upper

Friday
Max effort lower

Sunday
Dynamic effort upper

I've been reading through the Westside book of methods, the Westside bench manual, the Westside squat and deadlift manual and also watching and reading a lot of other material online from guys like Sweatt, Tate and Wendler. I'm hoping to have a decent enough grasp of the program to make a good stab at it and see some good improvements. I'm by no means an expert so fingers crossed this works!
