Great stuff .. I love Westside stuff. When I lifted WSB methods weren't as widely known and there was real resistance from so called experts to using their methods. I often wondered why so called "Top Lifters" continued to use a standard training method of so many weeks of 10's, then 8's then 5's then 3's. So many lifters trained like they did years ago and then wondered why they couldn't lift more tan lifters of years ago... go figure

kneeling squats look terrible but I could never do them because my knee doesnt bend enough.You can get very very strong in them as you have great leverage in that position. My training partner in the late nineties, steve silver would do 600 pounds for reps when he could only back squat in the fives.
