Opinions about Westside method

[Dag]

There were some vids a few years back, can't recall the name of the coach, and I use the term loosely. Shouldn't insult coaches by using it all, actually. At any rate, he had these skinny, weak kids doing literal quarter squats with a bunch of band tension and wearing full gear. It was insane. Does that ring a bell with anyone? Joe something or something Joe? I don't remember.

For Conjugate Raw Training, Matt Wenning is the guy to go to. His DVD's are loaded with valuable information.

Bands/chains/boards/etc. are generally not useful for raw lifters, .

I agree with alot of what you said, but not this. Why? I don't have a scientific reasoning just personal anecdote and anecdotes from other lifting that use these implements My favorite "implement" currently is the slingshot however.

Me too, Those are tools, not a system .. They allow some one to overload a portion of the range of motion and / or to limit stress in a range of motion that is suffering overuse or is injured/healing.

Shoulders sore after benching a heavy cycle but you still want to load the top half and maintain some tonnage and frequency? Chains or board presses may be the right choice.

The conjugal method works very well if you use it correctly. PM for details.

Yes it does, but it appears all those bogus Westside world record squatters are in trouble.

Pretty off topic but since you mentioned it. Multi ply guys in general do get high squats passed, no doubt about it. Some of them are complete jokes. But to remedy this, we shouldn't blame the lifter, we should blame the judges. If the judges stopped giving gifts the lifters would adjust and squat deeper. Maybe.

My favorite was when Dave Hoff stumbled backwards at lockout (deadlift) and dropped the bar and still got whites. Unbelievable. And let's not forget knee wrap-gate.

Multi ply judges need to really get with the program.

If you're Mike Hedlesky, you've found a way to make it work for raw. When I think "conjugate method," I don't think Westside. Maybe that makes me a weirdo.

Mike "Hamburger Train" Hedlesky is his hero.

He said conjugal method.

Oh, and appropriately placed overload work does help me, but at this point I'm probably classified as an advanced lifter.
