In defense of Westside Barbell training

Why "in defence", though?
Nothing was said against it, here.

Can I sneak in the odd set of calf raises so my calves don’t fall behind too bad?

That’s what implants are for.

Glutes are the largest musclemin the body. The posterior chain is the largest group of muscles on the body. Failure to train them properly will lead to an awfully long list of problems and pains in the older version of you

I agree 100% once u get that saggy old man ass and loose quad size I think it’s a wrap for ur whole spine. The best trainers and weight lifting coaches ect I worked with in my football days and all emphasized legs hips and core over upper and back even.

Like us men all football coaches check out ur Lower body first specifically ur ass. 90% have a great lower body.

First exercises my kids got good at squats and lunges , that’s all u really need for lower. I think any beginner should start from the bottom and work up. Just like a good 5x5 u start with squats.

Calf’s are one of the most genetic body parts, I have calf’s that are shitting on some pro bbs. How many over weight white men have u seen In shorts with some crazy ones, I’ve seen a ton.

Absolutely genetic, i agree! You see 40-50yo overweight natty mailmen with calves bigger than ifbb pros.

Love this topic, but my answers are super typical for a powerlifter. I don’t even need 8. I basically just do these 6:

1. Squat
2. Deadlift
3. Bench
4. Barbell Rows
5. Chin-Ups
6. OHP

Congrats on ranking up bud. This is a little more sustainable, like I had in mind for my choices.

great 6 if you are in high school. But if you live to 60-65 at social security age , I’d bet $ you won’t be doing these enless u don’t push it and are an outlier. Im only 36 and barbell rows and chiins are all I can seriously do these days out of your 6. Everyone’s different but I getting old or am a bum.

Oh I’m 35 and there’s always aches and pains. Everyone’s different though and I see the wisdom is switching strategies as you age. I’m going to try and last as long as I can in the strength arena before going more hypertrophy focused.

I do think it’s optimal for practically everyone until they have a solid muscle base.
